Devcon is a metal paste in an expoy matrix. It comes with a separate
hardener.

There were a number of RX7s racing in Australia back in the early 80s
touring car series. Of the many cars running, only one had a genuine
peripheral port engine, all the rest were devcon specials (or so I am told
by someone who should know)!
