Choosing a retaining compound
Start with the fit between the parts, the temperature the assembly runs at and how strong you need the bond. The 620 and 648 are the grades listed for high temperature, and the 660 Quick Metal is listed as high strength. The titles do not give gap-filling limits, cure times, temperature limits or whether a part can be disassembled later. Always check the data sheet. It is the source for those details, and for the right grade for your fit.
