QUIK EPOXY STEEL MAGIC
CYCLE WORLD EVALUATION
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS RIGHT IN THE NAME
Today, with motorcycles reaching new highs in mechanical technology, it’s not at all surprising that science has come just as far in the realm of chemical technology. But there’s one chemical product that we find downright astounding. Quik Epoxy Steel Magic is the glue-world equivalent of the dohc, four-valve, liquid-cooled superbike.
We’ve used this steel-filled epoxy to repair everything from aluminum engine cases to plastic throttle housings. Normal epoxy resins have been around for years, but what sets Steel Magic apart is its curing time. Forget the old stuff that takes 24 hours to set. Steel Magic hardens in about four minutes. That makes it perfect for trailor road side repairs.
Steel Magic is common stock in most auto parts and hardware stores. For $3.50 the buyer gets two Flounce tubes in plastic blister packs. One tube contains a steel-filled resin, the other is the hardener. Using the product is easy; squeeze equal amounts onto a dry surface (even a handy rock will do), mix thoroughly and apply. In four or five minutes the mixture will harden by chemical action—there’s no need for heat or extreme pressure—then you’re ready to go. Quik Epoxy Steel Magic makes a quick, strong repair to all metals, wood, glass, concrete and rigid plastic.
Once cured, the epoxy will withstand 300-degree temperatures, and won’t be affected by gasoline, oil. water or most other chemicals. Additionally, the epoxy won’t shrink, crack or chip. That means Quik Epoxy Steel Magic should be mandatory equipment in the tool pouch of every Ninja or XR500R. It simply takes a high-tech solution to make a high-tech repair.
