PM Research 2A
Hi,
Just finished a PM Research 2A Oscillating engine kit. You can see in one of the photo's I got a bit distracted and drilled a hole through the standard. Fixed it up with a mixture of aluminium swarf (its a aluminium casting) and epoxy glue. Runs on air.

I'm looking into buying a pre-made boiler. My soldering skills are pretty terrible.

An alternative to your solution is Devcon product called Fasmetal, it is an aluminium epoxy product used the refrigeration industry for repairing aluminium evaporators, when cured it looks just like aluminium and can be filed, drilled etc.

I must have been really "distracted" when I drilled and counter-bored this hole in my little oscillating engine:P

Managed to save the part by turning a brass plug and soft soldering it in place then re-drilling and counter-boring in the correct location.

Hi Ben,
Nice fix !
Seems I'm not the only one to drill holes where I shouldn't.Best Regards:
