   It is sold as `THERMITE'.
 
   Yes, it is being supplanted by specific clamps and compression `fittings' 
("lugs" bolted together)
 
 for each type of connection condition. >>

       Another common product is CadWeld. It's available from industrial-type 
suppliers. The molds run fifty bucks more or less and the shots are $4-5. You 
need a separate mold for each type of connection. You can spend a hundred 
bucks or more real easy on this stuff but it's what the pros use.
