Solo Twin....FINALLY!!!

[blsnelling]

Here it is after welding/before filling. Shaun will be posting a video in the next couple of days. That will be pretty cool.

Unfortunately, Mike found a crack after blasting another one of the pieces clean. This piece is headed to Shaun for repair.

That looks great Shawn does good work on everything he puts his hand to.

Brad, have to tried pushing the filler in the pits with your finger?

Here's the filler Mike uses. He was kind enough to send me enough to make these finishing repairs.

I have. I apply it with a razor blade, at Mike's suggestion, and scrape filler over the hole in every direction. I guess it's viscous enough that it doesn't want to go in those tiniest holes and displace the air.

I've got some from him too. We are going back to restoring a Remington 990 now that we have a bead blaster.

Shaun knows his **** when it comes to these mag welds. He fixed a couple 361 case halves for me.

Looking good!

That was what I thought. I've found that rubbing it in with a lot of pressure with just your thumb to work best to get it in there.

Wow that looks great. Good job Shaun. For those pin holes I use JB weld a lot the time.

Can't wait to see the finished product. There are some real craftsmen on this forum.

Here are some pics of the other parts from Mike.

I have great confidence in JBWeld. One thing I love about this filler Mike sent me, is that I can throw it in a toaster oven at 225°F for 25 minutes and it's rock hard, ready to sand.

I'm not sure JB Weld, or even Devcon would work under powder coat. The baking might be too hot, even if it would allow adhesion.

heres the data sheet on EPO STRONG

I forget that he is having everything powder coated and I have never tried the JB weld under high heat.

ive tried jb weld it holds up under the heat but it wont allow adhesion of powder it must have a oil in it it results in fisheye like marks in powder when cured !

Looking fantastic! I'm looking forward to the finished saw. Twins sound great.
