[TowerTalk] Cadweld vs Tectoweld

[Howard Klein]

A week or two ago I requested some help concerning Cadwelds. I receiverd 
several very helpful and informative replies. Amongst them was a reply from 
Wilson Liu, a representitive of ATI Tectonics NA. Wilson was kind enough to 
send me some samples of their product called, Tectoweld. I had a chance 
today to make some connections using that product. First it all comes in a 
sealed pouch. Opening the pouch I found the weld material and a separate 
tube that contained the igniting material. Nothing to search for. The amount 
appeared to be in excess of the amount received in the Cadweld  package. I 
actually used a Cadweld mold which I retained when I failed to ignite the 
Cadweld material. It was more than filled. The material ignited with one 
click of a spark igniter and produced a very satisfactory result. Others may 
have had different results but on the basis of my experience  I recommend 
Tectoweld for ground connection welding. I do not know the cost of the units 
since my sample was just that. My understanding is that clubs and 
individuals that order in bulk can receive discounted pricing but small 
orders are welcome as well. I have no connection with this company but was 
quite satisfied with the product. More information can be obtained from 
wilsonlui at atitec.com. By the way the way they also make and sell all types 
of grounding materials.
