[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2347255, member: 93138"] The comparison that I posted a while back with some minor edits: Note that the page for each putty is linked. It has been a source of curiosity ever since I looked up all of that info that the AL Putty (10610) has a lower thermal expansion than does the often touted as the best Devcon choice, Steel Putty (10110) and it has a higher compressive strength than the Steel Putty. The Ti Putty (10760) blows everything else out of the water in compressive strength, but it's shrinkage is one of the three worst. For the cost difference I'm not buying the Ti, the AL works well enough. Later in that thread I posted this: I never did receive any further info on Marine-Tex. No idea what it's shrinkage rate is, but the only materials that I know of that have no shrinkage in changing phase from liquid to solid are a couple Bismouth alloys. And I'll bet even those too shrink, just not enough to make a practical difference. [/QUOTE]
