If it melts with propane, it almost certainly is zinc based. I've used
the hardware store variety and it's useful, but not nearly as good as
they say (surprise). This stuff is certainly not $65 a lb (+ shipping)
good (I paid $16ish). It's best use is filling stripped/wallowed out
holes for re-drilling (& tapping). It's weakest use is under tension.
What sort of stress will your cubes be subjected to?
