Reply To: Belzona For Drive Shaft Repairs?

[green-thumbs]

Had a Radio Flyer wagon a lot of years back. The thin sheet metal cracked around areas where fasteners went thru.Took wagon to
local welder. He used torch and flux to braze large washers to sheet
metal. OEM should have done it that way…
I wonder if brazing the groove worn in shaft would be easier to
refinish than weld. It seems to me that chucking shaft in lather and carefully turning off excess metal then polishing with file and sandpapr
might work. Even better using a tool post grinder for a really smooth
surface.
All that I can recall is welder used torch, flux and a rod of brazing
material to repair wagon and it went very quickly…I think a common
problem with a well rehearsed technique to fix.
