Have any of you used this?
A buddy of mine recently told me about this stuff. It's called Steel'y - it's a steel reinforced epoxy putty. It sets up underwater, can be sanded, painted, drilled, tapped, etc. Seems to be a really good product. It bonds to metal extremely well. I used it to fill in my cab seam a couple days ago. I tried it first on a small piece on the side of the cab - let it harden, and sanded it down. Sands really nicely - no "chunking out" and sands really smooth. Just curious if anyone else has used this and how it worked for them.

I've never heard of it.
Sounds like good stuff. Where did you buy it at? Is it used just for auto body work? Or can it be used for general repair's? If it's steel reinforced what keeps it from rusting after time? |

I bought it at a Canadian Tire store, I have to go get some more of it today as I'm almost out. I will find out where it's made so I know if it's only available in Canada or not (I doubt it though). As for the rusting after time, beats the hell outta me lol. Apparently it doesn't rust out over time though. It says on the package to use water when kneading it together to keep your hands clean (it's really sticky stuff), and like I said, it sets up underwater. It's a mystery to me. And no, it's not made just for metal, it can be used on all sorts of things.

Okay. I got some more of the stuff and the package says that it's made in Birmingham, MI. Here's a pic of the package.

My favorite from my island days is "Marine Tex" it sounds a lot like your steeley, but this won't rust and oil & gas won't bother it either.

This stuff doesn't rust and is resistant to chemicals too.

Steely
This sound like the ALL-METAL that I use here. All metal is like boundo, it comes in a quart can with a hardener, It mixes the same and sands about the same but when it is finished it is also magnetic and acts just like rest of the panel that you fixed. Tibbar
