Long story I have to rethread a horizontal hole in a greasy lathe apron. It will be 6/32. A 6/32 tap broke off and I removed it with a small carbide endmill. the hole ended up too large so I plan to fill it with jb weld then drill and tap the patch.
This screw is not a oil seal and it is just to hold on a thin aluminum plate that has knob marking/directions. So no real load.
My question is I think the jb weld will flow out of the hole while it hardens? So can I use something like electrical tape to cover it while it dries? I will ahve to ry to get the casting clean enough for everything to stick in place.
