When it dries it ends up like a protective garbage bag around the part that peels off like skin on a bad sunburn. Its really awesome, I don't know why I didn't use it.

I got the aluminum bottom piece of my airbox back from the welder today. He only tacked the 4" piping in because I was afraid things may not line up right but it seems to all fit perfectly:



I also had him weld in a section of aluminum tube I rolled some 1/8" NPT threads on both sides as a water/meth injection nozzle coupler:
