And Jeff sent me a small sample of his Pyro Putty to try to fix a plug on my
manifold (Thanks again, Jeff!), where the air pump pipe used to be
connected. It has now held for about 500 miles with no problems, and that
includes a rally and some autocrossing, which may have created higher than
normal pressure.
I doubt that furnace cement would be a flammable composition, but if it is
cheaper than Pyro Putty, and works as well, you may be able to market it!
Pyro Putty is a two part, epoxy like material. It takes a long time to cure.
Let us know how the cement holds up.

if yours works. Does its container give any information of clues as
to composition (e.g., flammable, clean up with ___, etc.?)
