I don't know if it's like jb weld I never try to sand jb weld that stuff says you can sand it.I was thinking about putty/fiberglass but figured it would crack.

you can sand jb weld and mold it, and grind it..lol.

but that stuff seems nice cuz you dont have to mix it together.

Thats good to know about jb weld lol and thats what liked about the other stuff it's only one part and you can thin it down also.I used something like that lab metal at work only it was a two part system to redo a big shit screw but that stuff was a pain to work with and would burn like napalm if you got it on your skin.

Yes it was about five feet round and twenty-thirty feet long.It looked like a huge auger we redid the edges with a jb weld like compound and put on a two part paint system that came out of a big air powered cocking gun and it mixed in the tip.The finished coat looked like green bed liner and it was one of the strangest things I've worked one.
