How to repair cracks in cast iron outdoor seating without welding?
Cast iron outdoor seating is durable but can develop cracks over time. Welding isn’t always an option, so here are effective non-welding repair methods:
1. Epoxy Putty: Clean the crack, apply epoxy putty, and smooth it out. Once cured, sand and paint for a seamless finish.
2. Metal Stitching: Drill small holes along the crack and insert metal stitching pins to reinforce the area.
3. Cold Welding Compound: Use a high-strength cold welding compound to bond the crack, then sand and repaint.
4. Braces or Clamps: For larger cracks, add metal braces or clamps to hold the pieces together securely.
Regular maintenance, like cleaning and rust prevention, can prevent future cracks. These methods restore strength and appearance without welding.
