If you ever find yourself in the precarious position of needing a high temperature repair compound (similar to a JB Weld type product) that can withstand 1000 degree temps, give a serious thought to THIS (http://www.alvinproducts.com/Products/Products.asp?ID=2) stuff.
I had about a 2 1/2" long crack on the passengers side catalytic converter body, and I didn't have the facility to use my welder to fix it. It's easy to use, and comes ready to use (no mixing). I used this stuff to repair the crack and it worked, and has held up for 6,000+ miles so far. It has not discolored or started to deteriorate at all so far, and I was able to make the reapir without having to remove the cat assembly and hauling to someone to get it welded.
I bought my 14oz. can HERE (http://www.net4sale.com/Shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=12&idproduct=51), shipped fast and arrived in just a few days.
It may seem a bit expensive, but this product is one of the few that you can get in a non industrial size container (small quantity), and it works!
