Default Anyone use USC All Metal?

Curious if anyone has ever worked with it? Since I don't have a welder or the skills to make a clean weld, I have been looking into this for my engine bay shave. It's basically a liquid aluminum filler that is easy to work with but dries as hard as actual metal. Take a look and tell me what you think: http://www.handsontools.com/st....html

I've used it. We use it when the metal looks porous and needs filler. The best thing of all is that it doesn't absorb moisture.

Would you say it's good and strong enough to withstand chassis flex and not crack under extreme driving?

i think you will be okay with that stuff, its pretty stout for a body filler, just don't cake it on and make sure you prep the metal good (some nice 36 grit scratches for some bite)...i have plain ole filler all over my nova with a 500+hp small block and am curious how these types of products hold up to flexing, etc...i'll find out in a few months

Yeah, I don't plan on using large amounts in any one spot so it should be alright. Bump to hear any experiences/tips.
