Overview
Metal resurfacing & weld smoothing is a gaskets, seals & shims application handled with cold-applied Belzona repair composites and protective coatings — supplied and applied in place, typically with no hot work and no shutdown. As the authorized Belzona distributor for Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and most of West Virginia, our team specifies the right system, then supplies it, applies it, or both. Recommended systems for this work include Belzona 1151, Belzona 1511. Below are the recommended Belzona products for this application, what each one is used for, and related gaskets, seals & shims work we handle across the Mid-Atlantic.
What tends to go wrong in gaskets, seals & shims: Flange face deformation from heat distortion, corrosion, or fastener over-torque. Gasket leakage caused by an out-of-flat sealing surface.

About Gaskets, Seals & Shims
Gasket, seal, and shim work is constrained by dimensional tolerance: the gasket has to seat in millimeters, the shim has to land at the correct thickness, and the seal has to hold the system pressure on a face that has not been milled in years. Belzona's form-in-place compounds are specified against those tolerances.
