I have never ask about the process or the material they use, but I know it works well. You might go to some local welding suppliers and ask if anyone in your area does that process of welding.

Adger has the best cure, right there, and honestly, it's worth driving to someone who's had real success, and knows the process. Thanks Adger, I hadn't thought about a smaller shop doing the spray process.
