Your Combo Kit was one of the BEST investments I have made! I was able to repair several valuable classic/antique auto parts and saved a TON of money. That's important in today's economic times. GREAT PRODUCTS! Will purchase again....

Just used the super alloy 1 on the window frame of my 59 convertible and am extremely pleased. This is the best and easiest product to use. It works just as easy as the video shows.
I will always recommend Muggy weld to all my car collector friends. Thanks again for the super product and the fast delivery.

I just ordered the 4 rod pack of your SSF-6 silver solder. As soon as I got it I opened it up and tested it out on some scrap tubing I had, and let me tell you, this stuff is AMAZING! I have been doing household refrigeration for 10 years and I always dreaded the jobs where I'd have to join copper tubing to steel. Before, I'd sometimes have to give it 2 or 3 attempts untill I had a good joint. And even then, a few times I'd have a leak come back to get me soon after. I know my problems with joining copper to steel will be a thing of the past now. I was in disbeliefe at how well your solder flowed and how easy it was to use.
Thank you for making such a fine product, and please DON'T EVER discontinue it.

I just want to say how well your Super Alloy 1 works. I am restoring a car that has a lot of "Pot-metal" parts that are hard to find and also expensive to replace if I could find them.
I Have admit that I was a little skeptical, but I was impressed by the Videos that you have on your Web page.I watched them a few times and I payed attention to the word "Root Beer Brown"
I order your Super Alloy 1. I was able to repair a emblem that had a plastic face on the front and I needed to replace the three pins in the back that had broken off. I placed the emblem on a wet rag to keep the front plastic from melting and I was able to weld on the three pins in the back with out any problem! I have say that I never thought that there would be any simple way for the D.I.Y. to repair Pot metal. Thanks to you and your Super Alloy 1 you have saved me and I am sure many others a lot of time and MONEY!Thank you for such a great product! I am sold on it!
A Very Grateful D.I.Y.

I just got my order of Super Alloy 1 and it took me about 5 minutes to fix the broken door handle of my 97 Deville. Your product was incredibly easy to use even for someone with suspect welding skills! I can't wait for the next piece of pot metal to break. Thanks a million!.

I just wanted to tell you that I am completely happy with your SSF-6 silver solder. I did not have any experience prior to using your product and I tried to join two thin sections of brass with a reputable brand of silver solder with paste flux and ended up destroying the parts. I used your flux coated SSF-6 rods without any additional flux and it easily cleaned, wetted and joined the parts without beading up and falling off like the other stuff I tried. Since then, I have joined thick sections to thick, thick to thin, and thin to thin - no problems. I use a regular propane torch with MAPP gas for the thin parts and oxy-acetylene torch for the heavy ones and it works great! I recommend your product to everyone I know.

Dear Tami,
I received the order today that I just placed the day before yesterday. That was quick!
I used the welding rod in the starter kit on a generator plate made of pot metal. A piece had broken off and the welding rod worked as advertised. It is a MUGGY MIRACLE!
After a long awaited retirement, I have been in the process of restoring my 1922 Oldsmobile. As you might quess, finding parts for it is nearly impossible. Two critical parts are made of pot metal and of course after 85 years pot metal cracks and breaks apart. I have tried to find replacement for these parts via the internet, major car parts shows (Macungie, Carlisle, Hershey), and other sources to no avail.
Thank you and Mike for making it possible for me to enjoy restoring my retirement project.
Greatfully yours,

THANK YOU!!! I got a great deal on a boat with a cracked block and then bought your 77 rod. I am a beginner welder but it worked and now I am out having a great time with the family on the water. The crack went all the way across the block and I used all 7 rods. Its holding up perfect and I have several hours on it. Thanks again for having the perfect product and I will recommend you always.

Just thought I'd make a comment on Muggy Weld.
I'm refinishing a 1970 Monte Carlo. I had removed the vinyl top and I tried to seperate a piece of trim made of potmetal for the customer to have rechromed. I broke it right in front of him.
After getting over my embarassment, slightly, I tried to search for a replacement. It's almost impossible to find and if you do, it's broke also. It's just a fragile part.
I happen to read a thread on a Classic Mustang forum about someone reparing an emblem with Muggy Weld. I checked out your web site out and ordered the welding rods.
I was shocked to get them in two days,and even happier to be able to repair the trim piece. I even repaired the other side. Thanks, GREAT product!!!! It works!!
Looking forward to spreading the news to some unknowing guy in a potmetal dilemma.
God bless our Troops and Vets!

I ordered your super alloy #5 to weld a hole up in an aluminum 2x4 barrel intake for a 56 corvette. Needless to say the product worked just like the video showed. I must have watched the video a dozen times to see if I was missing anything. It seemed too easy, but it really was easy. Thanks for a product that performed exactly as described. I am sold.

Guys just wanted to say how happy I am to have found you. I build large wind driven sculptures we call Wind Spirals. In the process we have to solder i/4" 304 Stainless Steel rod to 1 1/2" bronze bearing holders. In the past we have tried several different Silver Solders with hit and miss success. After finding your SSF-6 product online we are now able to move through this step many times quicker and with a far superior joint. Thanks for a great product. I just called Mike and ordered 10 more sticks so I am a true believer. I have some pictures of our solder joints if you want to put them on your web site. Feel free to use my comments.

I got your Super Alloy one last week and proceeded to braze and join a broken bracket on my pot metal sculpture lamp. It worked wonderfully. Prior to this I tried calling around to professionals and no-one new how to fix pot metal and they asked me to tell them if I figured out how to do it. I tried regular solder, epoxy glue prior to your alloy 1. Nothing worked.

As a computer programmer for 36 years I can recall dozens of conversations 10, 15, 20, 25, and even 30 years ago when we would talk of the computer capabilities we could easily forecast, and those that we would want to build and see. Bill Gates was still in high school at that time.
Today I needed a "Metals/Colors/ Temperatures" chart, and bumped into yours. And I could not avoid noticing much of your web site.
Your web site is a stunning example of things we wanted, in the many years past, to see. Also, I sense that the design of the pages and the site were not left solely to the support people, but rather have had lots of input from the "management" at your company.
Yours is just such a well done site that I could not pass these moments without sending my compliments about your site.
All the best to you !

Just wanted to say that your Alloy 5 rods are wonderful. I have no experiance torch welding / brazing and only a little experiance with a TIG torch. Using your rods I was able to repair a sears aluminum row boat with 2 through holes and 5 spots where the kiel was worn through.
Great product, anyone who has questions can contact me at jameswilson001@aol.com

Howdy Folks.
I've recently purchased your 'beginner' kit and it's perfect. I don't weld, so this was a new experience. I'm restoring a '67 Mercedes 230 SL, and I've now welded a stud on the trunk emblem, a bolt onto the hood emblem and have repaired the pot metal grill star. I have saved about $830.00, and more to come, by using your product. I can't say enough about it. Experienced professional welders told me I couldn't do it. They're wrong, and you are correct.
Thanks again

Awesome rod !!!! SSF-6
I have never had any luck brazing and this was a piece of cake.I was asked to repair the bottom of a stainless steel tank and instead of stick welding it I tried this. Next I am going to repair and outboard shaftcase with Super Alloy 5. Hope it works as well.

I purchased a sample kit (7 2& 77 rod) for repairing a damaged bolt hole on a small block Chevy that secures the starter to the block. I used the cast iron welding rod to secure a piece of threaded 3/8 steel rod into the damaged hole where the outside starter bolt would normally have threaded into the engine block. The original threaded hole had the cast iron ripped out the side of the casting when the starter had kicked back on the 388 stroker engine. Hei-coils were out of the question, the walls were too thin (what was left) because of the casting thickness.
I used the 77 rod with a 230v AC stick welder with 95-100amps of power. Built up one small layer of rod at a time cleaning slag off after each pass. I am only a back yard welder and was impressed how well the weld turned out but not only that, it held without cracking. This method of repair saved the engine block from the junk yard.
I would just like to thank Muggyweld for producing such an amazing welding rod that make’s it possible to repair high nickel content cast iron. And by the way, this was repaired while the engine was in the car!! Thanks again.

I recently purchased both your 72 & 77 welding rods and I have to say, with some hesitation. Ads never seem to be as good they say.
Well, I'm one of your converted. I've been working on an exhaust manifold from a 1930 Chrysler Imperial. While it took a couple of hours to make my way through the various cracks, it looks like your welding rods have done the trick. Thanks very much !!

I ran out of Super Alloy 5 in the middle of a repair, so a friend of mine gave me a rod of AlumAlloy to finish and said "Oh you have to try this stuff I got at the county fair." I tried the rod, couldn't get it to stick, it chipped right off, and ended up being a total waste of time.
My soldering specialist from Germany has been soldering for 30 years, and he believes your Super Alloy 1 is the best pot metal product he's ever seen.

I have been repairing antiques for more than twenty years. Pot metal has been a real problem. A lot of Art Deco Sculpture is made from pot metal. Until I tried your super alloy #1 it had been a hit and miss proposition. I was a bit skeptical at first but you have me sold and I just recently ordered more. Thank you.

Hey Mike,
Just to let you know. These alloy 1 & 5 rods are great. This is the way aluminum brazing is suppose to be. I've shown the rods to couple of people as well as the cds. Should be getting an order or 2 if you haven't got them by now. Thanks. Will be reordering in the future if & when I run out. This amount could last me for a while.

The cast swing pinion on my MF backhoe was broken in half and badly welded. My welder told me to throw it away that it couldn't be fixed. I found your special rods on the Web and gave them a try. They worked fantastic and my welder was amazed too. The pinion has been holding up under huge pressure - better than new.

Last week you overnighted me seven welding rods for use on cast iron. I have to share our experience with you.
We own a golf course and use old 4-wheel drive Jeep Wranglers to push our ball pickers, as they seem to hold up better than any other vehicles. Our oldest Jeep is a 1978 model - 25 years old. One of the teenagers who works for us overheated it and cracked the block in two places. Each crack about 4 inches long. We ordered a rebuilt motor ($1,200) for it and were eagerly awaiting its arrival. The motor supplier called us told us there were two motors for that model Jeep and asked us to check the numbers on the Jeep. To make a long story short, there were no motors to be had that would work in our old Jeep.
I asked our maintenance supervisor if he could weld the block and he told me he had never heard of anyone successfully welding a cast iron block as they just cracked on down as the weld was applied to them. (Same thing my Dad told me) We should just junk the Jeep.
Before I would give up on the Jeep, I went on the internet and searched for "cast iron welding". Muggy Weld was the only name that came up. I read with great interest the information on welding cast iron with your rods. I asked my maintenance supervisor about trying your rods. He was skeptical, but since we had nothing to lose, we decided to try them.
We have been running the Jeep for four days now and the cracks seem to be holding just fine. Count us as satisfied customers of Muggy Weld. Thanks to you our Jeep is back at work (costing only $100 instead of $1,200) and running better than ever.

Tami, I am very satisfied with the 77 welding rods. They worked as advertised. In addition I drilled and tapped the weld and it machined just fine. Thanks, Dennis Dapkus

Hello Mike,
The 77 rod worked great. I recently bought an antique Red Devil paint shaker that had a cast iron base. It had a crack approximately 3 inches long near one of the mounting pads. I was concerned that left unattended, the mount would eventually break off, so I decided to see if your product could repair the damage. Welding is only a hobby with me and I needed a rod that would do 90% of the work. It had to be fairly forgiving, since I tend to wobble around a lot and strike arcs everywhere except the target.
I followed the instructions on your website for preparing the surface, beveling the crack, drilling a terminating hole and drying the area around the crack with a flame. (Except, I used a MAPP gas torch instead of oxy/acetylene.) And, since the crack was relatively short, I decided not to drill and tap it at the halfway mark. I back stepped the weld per the directions, then waited for it to cool and chipped the slag. I'd wandered off track and missed a little bit, so I smoothed the area out with a grinder then made another pass. The result was everything I'd hoped for ...a nice strong weld with no secondary cracking or porosity. Great product! And an added bonus is that I have enough left over for another project.
Happy holidays to you also!

Mike,
I was told that my boiler in the furnace could not be repaired because it is cast iron ,very old and burnt cast iron. I found your site then called my little brother a trained welder. We cleaned the surface and found that the crack ran vertically and rounded the corner under the boiler tank. Using 72 we were able to close the crack and with a mirror my brother welded the bottom of the boiler around the corner to meet the vertical weld made earlier. He was impressed with the performance of 72 welding rod and the ease in closing the crack with no preheating or cutting,the weld held without any cracking to the adjacent cast iron and was easily ground to match the original surface. The furnace repairman said it couldn't be done and quoted a price of $6,650.00 to replace the boiler.
Thanks.
