Hey folks,
around 30 years ago, we were working on my friend's car in shop at school. there was a rust hole in a a fender that wasn't convenient to weld and we didn't want to fill it with putty. Anyway,there was a tin of muffler patch in the tool room that (best memory) was in a tin about 4inches diameter and an inch thick. It was a stringy/fibery black putty/paste. Shined everything up, cut a piece if hardware cloth, and used that stuff to patch the hole. It hardened overnite like steel. Ground/sanded it and kept on. FF and I ran across him on facebook awhile ago. The car came up and he still has it and that patch has never been changed.

Anyone know the muffler paste I am talking about and if it is still available? Sure like to get ahold of it again.

Thanks, Dave
 
Chances are if it was available in the states and worked as well as you said, It's likely been banned by the EPA, OSHA or some other regulatory agency.
 
I don't recall what they called it but about 6 years ago I bought a can? package? of it at Big R farm supply. They also had "patch" material like cloth that you stuck on. Neither worked very good. Lasted long enough for me to sell the tractor.
 
I used some of it in the 1960s. Good stuff. The can was green and white.

I think it is probably very much like modern day JB Weld.

Yes, I still see it for sale in the parts houses.

Expect the fiber back in the day was probably asbestos.
 
very likely that any high temp epoxy stick will do the same thing. that one was likely a fiberglass reinforced eqpoxy paste anyway.
