Hehehee...I think you would be surprised what it's been used for. As someone else mentioned, I too once used it to fix a cracked block. I was selling the car and just wanted to last for a small bit and didn't want to spend any more money on it. (Yes, Shawn, I'm cheap!) Anyway, it held. I couldn't believe it. I told the new owner of the car about it and from what I heard, he drove it for like 2 years without a problem. The stuff is pretty amazing. It comes in a cheezy little package with cheezy graphics of tractors and the like. But it WORKS! No, I don't work for them. But any mechanic worth a bean or two will nod in agreement that it can be a pretty good 'quick-fix' when needed. Or longer. I used it to patch up the side engine covers on my XS1100 several times when I used the 'drop the bike on it's side and slide' method of stopping in my youth. Kept out water and it was...chea...inexpensive. Cost effective. Thrifty. Great ROI. Etc..... Brandon
