I watched a demonstration by a guy using this stuff at the kit car show at Stoneleigh last year, it was very impressive and the stuff he could do was amazing. I thought about buying some to fabricate an oil catch tank for my Westy but the price put me off. I'm not sure I'd trust it to bear a good amount of weight and vibration though.

Casings are usually a magnesium alloy and don't weld too well.
This seems more like brazing so it might work but could go either way.

Have a look at this one probably the same stuff it may be cheaper and it’s been around donkeys years
This kind of product is ok for filling holes and non-stressed areas as it’s a form of brazing i.e. only surface penetration grate if you have a casing that needs making oil tight no good for say an engine mount
