Product Description

Steel Reinforced Epoxy makes strong, permanent repairs when hot welding isn't possible or practical. It contains two 5 ounce tubes in an economical shop-size packaged, many professionals use steel reinforced epoxy to fix, bond or fill materials in the shop, factory or field. One tube contains epoxy resin and the other contains hardener. When mixed together in equal portions, a chemical reaction occurs that turns the mixture into a compound as hard and tough, also as steel that will bond to virtually any combination of iron, steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, pewter, porcelain, ceramic, marble, glass, plastic, concrete, fiberglass, wood, fabric or paper, just about any porous or non-porous material.

This stuff is not too stinky so you don't have to use it outside. It bonds very well to anything I have tried it with and sets up quickly, but not too quickly. One thing I used it for was cementing the dryer exhaust vent to the house. Just be sure to mix it up with something disposable -- I use a paper plate and a popsicle stick. It will dry to a gray color, so don't use it on something that needs to be clear.

This review is from: J-B Weld 8280 Industro Weld 10 oz. (Misc.)

Over many years, I've used J-B Weld for many repairs, dissimlar material attachments and fabrications. One job was creating a hard, inside, closed bottom for a 10" length of a 3" PVC pipe section used to house electronics. Simply stand-up the pipe section, fill the inside of the 3" tube with moist sand about 1/4" from the top. Carefully spread about 3/16" thickness of J-B (about 4 oz. worth) to the top surface of the sand inside the tube, let cure and you've made a hard inside bottom. This will allow the tube to stand-up by itself. A typical PVC cap has a rounded bottom and won't stand-up. If the J-B is warm, it will spread itself over the 3" diameter area. Where the J-B is to bond to the PVC, prep the PVC surface by roughing-up the PVC tube surface with 100 or 180 grit sandpaper.

To repair a broken, hollow aluminum tube, fabricate a piece of 2" to 5" of oakwood (or other hard wood) that will slip into both ends of the broken tube section; it should be a tight fit. A radial arm saw drum sander attachment is handy to hand-fabricate the hard wood piece. Once happy with the fabricated wood, apply a thin coat of J-B inside broken portion of the aluminum tube and coat the hard wood repair section with J-B. Now slip the wood splint into the aluminum tube and let the J-B cure. Might need to support the broken sections if the wood doesn't provide a tight fit. I've repaired a few outside restaurant umbrellas with this method that suffered wind damage. The repaired section is much stronger than the hollow aluminum tube portion. Also molded plastic umbrella parts using J-B. Great stuff!!

THis is good stuff. I used it to hold metal together as part of a non-load bearing frame. Does great. If working in cool temperatures, 45-35 F, warm it first. I set the tubes in the sun on the dashboard of my car, did the prep, then mixed in the car and quickly applied. Worked great.
