Thats marine tex.

Okay will do. I've seen that at my buddies boatyard but haven't worked on boats for a few years. My experience was more with fiber glass and interior woodwork, not much on marine engines at all. Done a fair amount of piping and through-hulls, but never used that product I don't think.
Yeah I was wondering about heat issues too. Maybe quench it quick? The epoxy with metal shavings might be the trick.

If you have the tip still you could make a pile of filings for the epoxy from the same razor. Pity you can't peen or squeeze the tip shut.

Actually there is a video somewhere showing heat block paste .could cover around leaving the tip exposed to heat and squeeze/peen closed. Maybe a little ott though.

Oh man! I saw that heat block paste on an infomercial years ago and looked for it to no avail.
I'll do a search for it.
I thought about peening it closed but worry about breaking the blade.
Still have the tip. Could use the soft metal of spine for shavings..

The heat block paste is in my last blog:

Also, how big is the gap? it there anyway you could tap some solid lead solder to fill it in?

Thanks for that, I'll be watching that video and reading up when i get home. From what i remember the stuff is quite remarkable! Like magic really. I remember watching that infomercial thinking "yeah right".
So basically, I can put that on, heat it up and peen it shut, or fill it with hot material without the heat issues...

I saw the video by Charlie and it seems to stop the issues related to over heating the blade. So presumably you could heat the tip which would allow you to close the hole without damaging the blade. You only need to heat a small section at the tip so shouldn't take to much to heat such a small area.

As I said probably ott but it should work and you did ask

It does come in white, black and gray

Doesn't come in clear? Maybe white would work. I've got gorilla epoxy. Probably need to shop around.
