...

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?
