*Does anybody know how to repair broken cast iron?* Can cast iron be welded?
Can cast iron be repaired with an adhesive? Details = I recently acquired a broken Thunderbird 20-qt commercial dough maker/mixer. It is a table top appliance that is used in a commercial bakery to make dough or mix large batches of bread dough or cake/cookie/pie dough. [image: Inline image 1] The previous owner, a Certified Level 3 Moron, dropped the 225 lb unit off a work table when he was trying to move it to another location by himself. The top part of the mixer broke off. I cut the internal wiring to enable me to move the unit in two large pieces to my storage unit in hopes of eventually repairing the mixer. [image: Inline image 2] [image: Inline image 3] If anybody at SH can help me with this repair project, I will be happy to *fully reimburse them for all expendables* used in the repair. I will also thank the person who helps me with the repair with *a full-course dinner, as a token reward,* at Macaroni Grill or Outback Steakhouse or House of Hunan. The repair project - cast iron repair and rewiring - will be done at SH as one of my personal DIY projects. When repaired and functional again, I plan to donate the mixer to a local non-profit organization that provides monthly meals to the needy families and homeless people. In case you are wondering, the value of a similar, used, working mixer is about $1250. A new one costs $1925 plus about $175 for freight shipping, a total of $2100. Thanks in advance for any help available, whether just technical advice or welding expertise or merely a suggestion. Philip
