Review: Excellent filler for metal. - This stuff is amazing for filling in cast iron castings or fairing out other metal work. Pinholes and other defects are easily filled. I found that pure acetone easily thinned the product without the need of buying the pricey thinner. I had the best luck mixing it really thin and literally painting it on the parts. High spot? Brush over it with thinner to smooth it down. Low spot? Brush over it with more Lab Metal to build it up. Great stuff.
Review: Works well - Works great fills in little divots easy to work with

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it stand 400 degrees farenheit?**
A: It depends.  There is a high temp Lab Metal and the standard Lab Metal.  The high temp variety is advertised as being good to 1000 degrees F when fully cured.  The basic Lab Metal also indicates a similar heat range.  The high temp variety comes with a light blue can label.  Just remember, when the aluminum looks dry, its because more solvent is needed to put the aluminum back into solution.  Great as a paste or as a spray, its all about proper thinning.  Really a no brainer product for the patient and observant user.  Thanks Alvin!

**Q: What color is it when it cures ?**
A: Light grey, similar to pewter.  Can be polished to a high silver shine if the polishing doesn't affect adjacent surfaces.

**Q: Can it be chromed**
A: I couldn't tell you if it could be for sure. I have coated it with Duracoat no problem .

**Q: Will this work to fill gaps in metal heating ducts?**
A: Kind of an expensive fix. Yes it will work but for the temperatures involved in your typical heating system, it's kind of overkill. USC All- Metal might be a more economical choice, though the adhesive aluminum tape  is probably best for this fix.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by P***T on February 24, 2024*

Works great fills in little divots easy to work with

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best product for filler
*by R***D on June 25, 2020*

Works great for filling patches; permanent repair unlike Bondo which can crack; be sure to buy solvent, because lab metal dries very quick and can't be handled after about 5 seconds unless you spray solvent on it.
