    do you have one ??? i do . now do you want to buy it ?it is not the best it is just a nother way to do the job. the rod i use works better . i have used both and know. now if you gmc1500 can tell me that you fix a block every day with a spray torch i am all ears keep dreaming and hour? that block will have to be in a oven for a hour the hotter you get that block the more you need the put it in a oven . if not you will have a spot hard like glass i do know this first hand with the spray torch . you just do not know? i have done this repair what do you think they put in the hoppper on the spray torch ? that would be 99 nickle that is an 100 machineable the rod works fine.you know this is a big joke i spend the time to tell somone what works with out a oven and what rod i have used over 5 years and you come on and you say spray torch . i would or should post photos of all the repair i have done with this rod but weld mold is not paying me. all i can say is the hopper torch can work only if you have a oven and at this point fixing it with iron filler rod ? which some will say is the only way to fix iron. so from now on only post less you have done the repair with photos and signed papers
