Fixed this block with Certanium rods. Not sure if they are still manufactured.
I’d like to purchase some of those rods, any ideas on where?
Found this on a welding site - sounds like cold weld to me
“If you can find it, Certanium 889SP is magic for cast iron. It needs no preheat, is machinable, AC/DC, material doesn't have to be real clean, just a good V prep. Do little, skip, do a llittle more, skip, etc. If you can't hold your hand on it, quit till you can, and go back at it. You won't be disappointed.“
