5.0 out of 5 stars apply it correctly, November 9, 2009

and this is great stuff. some pointers
Epoxy glues have a limited shelf life. Buy yours at a small store where the merchandise doesn't move quickly, or keep it 5 years on the shelf and it won't work well. Don't apply it at temperatures below 60 degrees. Spend at least 2 or 3 minutes mixing it. I use a timer to be sure. Surface preparation is the key. It must be completely grease free. I use naptha (lighter fluid) alcohol, and acetone in that order. The surface MUST be rough. I use a file,very rough (#40 or #60) sandpaper or a sharp Exacto blade to make multiple cross hatch cuts- this will even work on most steels. Apply the mix carefully, put the pieces together so they don't move for at least 8 hours.
Do all that and the bond is very strong.

I gave this to my husband, Timothy, for Christmas (among other things). Yes, call me strange and I'll answer. He thought it was an odd gift, but he thanked me later when inevitable occasions to use it came up! He used it on our aluminum hull boat and on his fishing poles. Recently we had a contractor working at our house. When his air compressor cracked, he asked my hubby if he had any J-B Weld. "Well,yes, I do!" was my husband's answer. J-B Weld saved the day!

I used JB Weld on my car's side mirror since it broke off, and that mirror is rock solid now. I barely used any as well and have a lot left. I wish I would have known about this before trying to use Gorilla tape (which wore off and left white residue on my mirror...maroon car), because it would never have even been noticeable that my side mirror broke. Why go to an autoshop and spend over $100 when you can get this stuff for less than $7. The fix itself considering how much of the product I used probably amounts to 50 cents. Now that's a steal in my opinion.
