Lab-metal repair compound solves cosmetic patching

problems for chrome platers and metal finishers

Lab-metal,

 

 

a ready-to-use metal repair and patching compound, provides fast, platable repairs

to metal. The dent filler requires no two-part mixing and hardens simply by exposure to air. Labmetal

fills dents, seals seams, patches cracks and smooths imperfections. Lab-metal

withstands temperatures to 350

 

oF (or one-time exposures to 425oF). Hi-Temp Lab-metal

withstands temperatures to 1000

 

oF.

The single-component metal putties from Alvin Products are spread with a putty knife or similar

tool. Thinned with

 

Lab-solvent, Lab-metal may be brushed or sprayed onto the surface for a

rustproof, metallic coating. Lab-solvent enhances the workability of Lab-metal and Hi-Temp

Lab-metal – the applicator is simply immersed into Lab-solvent during smoothing.

Alvin Lab-metal products are essential repair products for platers and metal finishers, welders,

fabricators, powder coaters, metal furniture manufacturers, and dozens of metalworking
