I used this metal repair to seal up a small leak between two exhaust pipes that did not fit perfectly after securely clamped. I repaired the surfaces with agonizing thoroughness and went far beyond the printed instructions with care and precautions. I requires that the repair sits 18 to 24 hours. I let it sit 72 hours. It requires idling the engine for minimum of 10 to 15 minutes. I idled it for 30 minutes then let it sit for the rest of the day. Then I drove it slowly and gently on a rural back-road for about 20 minutes then let it sit again. I hopped in the van the next morning to continue on with my life. Within 2 to 3 miles the repair came loose and fell out. What a large waste of my time. NOT a good product. I have since used Permatex 80333 muffler and tailpipe putty at the leak and tightened a worm drive clamp around the area while still wet. This appears that it will have a better chance of being a more permanent, better repair and product [two weeks so far].T'care
