would this work to repair the heavy parts of a pot metal lamp base that have come apart?

I tried to use this on carburetor from 1949 and a door handle from the same truck. I have done a lot of soldering before and frankly this stuff doesn't work. No matter how clean I got the surfaces I could not get it to wick out into cracks or pits or even a flat surface. I really want to tell you "yes" buy it and give it a shot But I have had trouble with it. However it is cheap and wont hurt to try out since there isn't much else out there for repairing pot metal.

Yes but low on the flame heat. It would help to have some extra solder to help spred after the solder is spread.

Hi Mike, I bought the one mentioned and "Muggy Weld Super Alloy 1 Pot Metal Repair Kit". The first one is better to fill up small cracks, so they don't show up afterwards. The second one is better to fix parts that are heavy ore exposed to movement. I repaired some parts in a 40's jukebox mechanism with them and it worked out well. You can find some videos of it on youtube too. It ISN'T although as easy as it looks like in their videos...you'll have to try a bit until reaching the same result as they do ;-)Regards,Thierrywww.jukebox.lu

I did not use it in that regard, but since the metal prongs are removable and the base holds items down, I would tend to think it could.

Yes, the clamp is just what is says it is, it has a hole to hold the lamp and clamps to the a surface. So the lamp may be removed and put in a hole that will accommodate the size of the lamp. The clamp itself has a srew that tightens into the groove of the lamp to stabilize it as there is a groove in the shaft. I expect the shaft to. About 1/2" in diameter. I believe they actually make a base for this lamp if you don't wish to use the clamp. As long as the hole in your manicure table will accept this it should work, but could rock if it is too large. I love this light!

I would expect that it would work in an architect desk lamp. It is not that heavy that it would make the lamp unuseable.

it should most lamp bases have small bendable teeth around the perimeter that allow some flexibility if you have these your in like flint

I used it on a large floor lamp and it is fine. It is fairly heavy duty, stout and reliable. Good screw type connections to the wires. Solid.

I never found out. The lamp might be OK, but the fixture it sits in could replace Hoover vacuums for shear sucking power.The ballast cannot be replaced in the light without tearing it apart.

When I first replaced the lamp, it took me a few times to get the lamp locked into place. Once it's in place, it should work fine. I also needed to clean off the dust from the inside of the connectors with a rag. Hope that helps

I think I was initially confused too. The lamp is not that fragile so don't worry. Feed the wire through and you may have to pull the lamp shade a little forcefully to get it to clip on the metal piece but it will stretch!

Yes and No. We use this at our store to repair small figurines so it will technically hold two pieces of pottery or porcelain together but it wouldn't be effective for repairing a planter pot, cooking vessel, or large piece of either material because it is water-soluble. If you are trying to glue the basket back onto a dropped Hummel figurine however, it will work just just fine.

Yes, I have used it to repair surface mount circuit boards, replacing ICs less than 1/4" square. The technique for soldering takes more time than removing SMT parts.Bruce Sanderson

It would provided it didn't fall apart after a few uses. It truly turned out to be a piece of junk.

1) Yes. 2) Yes, It needs a metal part on your lamp that you can touch, and you have to connect that part of metal to one of its wires.

If it's the pole part that broke there's a very good chance it will do the trick. I used 2" for my repair but perhaps 3" will work. Make sure to pull tightly as you wrap. Good luck.

Any type of metal or plastic base would work for this. It is a fairly light umbrella.

Yes it can. The bottom of the lamp is a tubular structure that inserts into the base.

I've used this with both an LED lamp and bulb lamp and both work well. LED seems to cure a little faster.
