Just imagine being able to repair anything made of Cast iron using your own propane torch.  No flux!  Normally, to repair Cast iron you would require expensive equipment and extensive training.  Even if you filled those requirements the probability of a failed repair was still great .  Why?  Normally Cast iron repair requires you to bring the base metal up to extremely high temperatures.  Cast iron has a tendency to be intently brittle.  Once the repair is finished the cast iron must cool at an exact graduated rate.  If this does not occur the item will crack or completely shatter.  Rendering the entire piece worthless.  The secret to Castaloy is a high strength repair at a lower temperature 550 deg f.  Castaloy extinguished the cracking problem that has plagued welders for years.  Castaloy repairs:  Pipes, machines, blocks, gearboxes, antiques, pumps, fences, housings, weathervanes, manifolds, tools, furniture, etc.
