Metalworking potential: jigging of irregularly-shaped parts for
milling or drilling, particularly if said part has a nice finish that
one might want to protect. Mold the stuff around the part,
position the part and snug the vise, wait for it to cool, tighten
the vise and check/tweak positioning.

For this, I use Wood's metal (better similar alloys that are
cadmium-free. Mine melts at 96°C (quite boiling temp. of water)). It
doesn't matter when you have oil or chips in the molten material. And it
is _stiff_! No flexing at all.
