I have a small crack in the housing of my chainsaw. The housing is cast aluminum and may not be a structural concern. I was thinking of using this stuff to seal the head of the crack just in case. Has anyone used this? How strong is it?

 

have never used that product name , but i feel it will work fine. have seen 2 part epoxy work on crankcase's for chainsaws.

 

I have used "JB Weld" on a number of similar projects with good results. Google up their website and look at the various products they offer. They also have a toll free number, or at least used too, and will give you advice on how to proceed with the repair. Very helpful company to deal with.

 

jb weld is the most amazing product i have ever used and it has saved me tons of $$$$....i have jb welded cracks in hi pressure oil line that ran thru my clutch cover(weird setup) and it held up without 1 drop of oil comming out of it for overa year till i replaced it....ive also used jb on broken cases from the chain hitting it, gas tanks, air boxes and many other things and it workes every time.....i would deffinatly say use jb

 

Used JB weld and it worked great. Cut wood all day and not issues.

 

Just- take the time to take it apart and clean, clean, clean the mating edges. Should last longer than the rings

p.s. clean, clean, clean
