ok so i have a cracked weld on my exhaust, i have extractors on my roza and the crack is on a weld just as they all meet, or where a few of them meet. i've tried to fix it with JB Weld, the 2 part steel epoxy shit but it just burns off, ive tried loading it on and ive left it for more than the 15 hours that it recommends.

Is there something better suited to the job? apparently the 315°c that jb weld can handle isnt anywhere near sufficient for the job. its in a pretty bad spot to weld, so i cant imagine the labour would be cheap to unbolt it all and weld it up. ive heard about a muffler bandage, but this crack isnt really anywhere near the muffler. i need something that can handle the high tempuratures of the exhaust as it leaves the engine.... any ideas fellas?

ive found its a waste of time and money messing around with plasticines- get it welded mate. Just remember to disconnect the battery before welding.
