To give you an idea. An older gentlemen who was in the marine business
told me when my lower unit on my boat was chipped in the water jacket
area to use JB weld. I did it saved me a whole lower unit.

If I recall (and I've only used it
once), it's a 2-part epoxy made up of metal powder in a base and a fixer
that is mixed with it at time of use. If properly mixed and the
surface it is applied to is clean, it can do a respectable job of making
repairs on metal. According to the manufacturer, it can be sanded,
drilled and shaped and lasts indefinitely. What I used it for was
to build up a broken surface and it worked. It's available at most
automotive stores.
