Product Information
Full details
The Permatex Cold Weld Bonding Compound is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing to repair metal components without welding or brazing. Its key benefit is providing a strong, durable bond that can withstand high temperatures and automotive fluids, allowing for versatile post-cure modifications like drilling and sanding. A potential caveat is its 15-minute working time, requiring prompt application after mixing.

Can this product be used on cast iron?
Yes, Permatex Cold Weld Bonding Compound adheres well to cast iron, steel, brass, bronze, aluminum, and copper.
What is the working time after mixing?
You have approximately 15 minutes to work with the product after mixing the two components.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The product sets in approximately 15 minutes, allowing for handling. Full cure and maximum strength are achieved after several hours.
Can I paint over the cured compound?
Yes, once fully cured, the bonded area can be sanded, drilled, tapped, filed, and painted.
Is this product waterproof?
The compound resists most automotive, shop, and cleaning fluids, and is suitable for many water-contact applications after proper curing.
What is the maximum temperature it can withstand?
It can withstand temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) intermittently.
How should I store the product?
Store in a cool, dry place with the caps tightly sealed. Avoid direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Compound does not harden or cures very slowly.
Ensure equal parts of resin and hardener were used and mixed thoroughly. Check the temperature; cold conditions can slow curing. Ensure the product has not expired.
Poor adhesion or bond failure.
Surfaces may not have been properly cleaned or prepared. Re-clean and abrade surfaces, then reapply the compound. Ensure proper clamping during cure.
Compound is difficult to mix or apply.
Ensure product is at room temperature. If too thick, work more quickly within the working time. Check expiration date; old product can become gummy.
The repair is brittle after curing.
This compound is designed for rigid metal repairs. It may not be suitable for areas experiencing significant flexing or vibration.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a strong bond without heat or welding equipment.
- Versatile for various repair scenarios on different metals.
- Can be machined and finished after curing.
- Resistant to common automotive and shop fluids.
- Offers a relatively quick working time for efficient repairs.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing and application within the 15-minute window.
- Not suitable for flexible materials or plastics.
- Surface preparation is critical for optimal adhesion.
- May not be ideal for extremely high-pressure applications.
- Requires adequate ventilation during use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: For optimal adhesion, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, or paint. Abrading the surface slightly can improve the bond.
Mixing: Dispense equal amounts of the two components onto a clean, disposable surface. Mix thoroughly with a tool until a uniform color and consistency are achieved. Do not mix more than can be applied within the 15-minute working time.
Application: Apply the mixed compound evenly to one or both prepared surfaces. Press parts together firmly within the working time.
Curing: Allow the bonded parts to cure for at least 15 minutes before handling. Full strength is typically reached in several hours, but allow longer for maximum durability, especially in demanding applications.
Compatibility: Suitable for bonding and repairing iron, steel, brass, bronze, aluminum, and copper. Not recommended for use on plastics, rubber, or painted surfaces.
Care: Store unused product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure caps are tightly sealed. Clean tools immediately after use with appropriate solvents (check product label for recommendations).
