Comments about CarGo Quiksteel Epoxy Putty:
This is one of the greatest products of it's kind. works exactly as stated, bonds to flat steel surfaces easily, and molds exactly as needed. Only have to use what you need. Ran out and found a tube that was half used and more than a year old, worked just as good as when I purchased it new. Going to go get a couple more tubes now.

Comments about CarGo Quiksteel Epoxy Putty:
I used this a year ago to plug a leak in my resinator. Inspection was due on my old high milage car and I didn't want to put a lot of money or effort into it. Its still holding and may last through a second inspection.

Comments about CarGo Quiksteel Epoxy Putty:
Used this stuff to repair a plastic bumper cover for a Subaru Legacy SW. I had to fill two holes. One was about the size of a golf ball, and the other the size of a quarter. I removed the bumper cover off the car, and used pro gaff cloth duct tape on the inside to back up the Quicksteel putty. It helps to have slightly wet hands when kneading the Quiksteel. Once it feels warm, it needs to be spread and smoothed out within a minute before it starts to harden. It can be sanded down in about one hour.
I highly recommend this, just work fast once it gets warm.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
