its going to need it

Certainly is, but that stuff does metal the world of good, i can't remember how many times i have used that on stuff i have made or i am repairing, espeically my model boats that i sail on the local lake, i'm going to have to watch myself though, the glue i use to hold things in place for the boats is powerful stuff, get that on your fingers and off to the hospital it is :D ;D
