How to fix a hole in my exhaust

Post by **irishkeet** » 04 Oct 2006, 10:15

Hi all

I have a small hole in my exhaust about the size of a nail head...
I was wondering if anyone knows a quick (good) fix for this.
Any pastes or sealers that will fill the hole or am I better to weld it?

thanks

For small holes like that I use exhaust paste and silver foil. Get it nice and wet-the paste-and smooth it in and round the hole, then put some silver foil over it. And don't forget to let it dry, or it may get blown out when you start the engine up. If you can get the exhaust warmed up first then that'll help. Just don't burn your hand on it, and give it a good wire brushing before you apply the paste. I can't weld though, so I can't give an opinion on that.

When you bring it back to me for its first service I'll put a spot of weld on it for you.
