Well you learn something new everyday.
We have a product here called 2-hour DUROSTICK EPOXY ADHESIVE.
As you all know my welding is pretty bad,as I have never had lesson or someone show me how to use a welder,or ever read instructions.Sometimes I weld ok then other times?
I was using car filler to fill in the pits etc,after I had grinded,but found it is constant sanding with different grits.Then I started using COLD WELD.Thats ok,but for a packet it is around 8-9 euro.
So yesterday I thought 2 mix this and try using it as a filler,takes 24hrs to cure and it is rock hard like metal.
Now I tried it again,and this time I used water to smooth it,less sanding.Even better,no need to sand in the hard to reach places...
Comes in these tubs and costs 7 euro.
On the left is done and sanded,but left to dry with out smoothing. On the right is my bad welding,and a ruff grind down.
On the left is sanded on the right smoothed with h20
Now here is the info specs.
Two component adhesive in putty form. It welds, repairs and seals similar and dissimilar materials, such as metals, concrete , stone and wood, fiberglass, as well as marble, asbestos, etc.It does not adhere to polyethylene and teflon. It has excellent resistance to temperature and to most chemicals.
It is very affortable in comparison with the 2-component adhesives in tubes.It is necessary for every household project, adhesion or filling. Sandable and paintable.
DUROSTICK EPOXY ADHESIVE-putty applications are practically endless in construction. Adhering concrete with steel (floor extension)for example. Moreover, it is suitable for sealing holes and cracks, seal radiator leaks as well as water and fuel tanks. It permanently repairs oil pans, car radiators and exhaust pipes. Necessary in boating and yachting. It seals washing machine drums, porcelain and ceramics (pots) etc. Necessary for plumbing, refrigeration and machine shop applications, as well as the DIY crowd.

I've used a similar product before but not on bicycle,the only thing I wonder about is Will it hold up against a bumpy road.

I am only using it as a filler,not as a weld...
Sounds like cool stuff!

Here is another product you may or may not know about. It is ready to use right out of the can. They also make a High Temp version for use if powder coating as it can withstand temps to 450 degrees. Check out the YOU TUBE video on the page. I was impressed.

SNAP! That's me too. I've been happy enough with my welds on my previous bikes, but I'm not doing very good with SIDEBOLT.
Your joins look great smoothed out with that stuff.

I have been working on getting the frame rolling.
So far I have bent 2 wheels by tripping over the beast..Will sort them out soon.
I hope the axles can hold the weight?
A bolt will be welded on to one side,then a nut screwed on. Maybe in the end the axle might be welded on.
Just finished restoring the vm50 2 stroke.Still needs work.
It is so windy here, the wind just pushes the frame around.
Don't have much time left,have been busy working.
So not sure if it will be finished in time. But I will keep going till the end.

It's not over until the fat lady sings,

Its 6 with gusts up to 8 beaufort .
Pain to work in.
That's it! A wind powered wiener wagon! Or at least wind assist....maybe a jib in the front that could pivot and be used to increase speed uphill?
