[Boatanchors] Question...

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

I sometimes use JB Weld. Some has metal in it. Some does not. The 
product with metal in it boasts of having metal in right on the label. 
It is *prominent*. I would not use it to repair electrical parts. You 
pays your money and you takes your choice.

73,
