I'd have thought it would melt? rub it down and paint it :wink:

Agree with Moose, reckon it will melt then be a bar steward to remove the sticky, melted mess!

Try this lot www.pjengineering.co.uk . Proper carbon sleeve that you can drill and rivet without spending a fortune.
Looks like a pro job after as well

I used them when I repaired Rich's end can, it was £50 plus postage etc for the sleeve, about a year or more ago.
