I dunno which JB Weld company you used but mine did not bond at all. I got the Epoxy steel resin with the hardner. I was trying to bond a steel plated nut to a steel shaft on a electric motor. It never bonded and I was able to remove it with my hand after 24 hrs curing. I sanded the steel and put some acetone to make everything was clean. I did this 3 times with JB Weld. I tried 3 brands of metal glue but all the same problem. I tried super and gorilla steel epoxy and same problem. I solved the problem by getting it welded. I also was emailing JB Weld support and they check the glue and also the pictures and video I sent to them. They could not understand why it would not bond.

Is there a way to thin it so it's brushable? Want to repair a pitted wheel bead.

Is there anything we can use to Re-coat a small area that has chipped off leaving an almost white splotch on the otherwise dark cast aluminum table?

Instead of drilling a bolt how about a pipe ring around the 2 broke pieces ?
