Have you used JB Weld products before? What repairs have you used JB Weld for? What repairs are you looking at JB Weld for?

I see that you just have to be ready to work Quickly with the Kwikweld....you have to know exactly what you are aiming for and get it done fast. The differences in set time is amazing...I am def going to get some Kwikweld...Thanks for this!!!

[UnLikeU]

Thanks for this. I have something I need to JB Weld, 🤔 that I'm not suppose to JB Weld, 🤨 that I'm going to JB Weld. 😂

You can get the kwikweld in the tubes also and you can get the regular J-B Weld in the syringe I like the syringe style much easier to divy out and convenient and I've had it sit for a year after being opened and it still be good

[victorvek]

Kwik-weld is absolutely more convenient (if time is of the essence), but it’s worth noting that it’s less-than-half the strength of the original cold steel once cured.

Thank you for this video, very helpful. Waiting to see if steel version will adhere aluminum to stainless steel where E 6000 failed.

That Prius trim piece has now officially become irreplaceable. Should have used a silicone adhesive, where you’d at least have a chance of removal without breakage. 🤷‍♂️

Head to Head Comparison and then uses them for toally different things all this compares is the mixing step

[keithpetrino]

Both formulas are available in either two separate tubes or the double syringe.

[jimjackson]

I mix some steel wool in the mix for extra strength.Maybe you could do a test on this compared to straight job weld.

[greenwolf]

I keep hearing people talk about how it holds up against heat, but I'm from Wisconsin and I want to know how it holds up against our COLD weather?

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.

What would you use to repair a small Crack in an air tank? Putty?

[miguelsalami]

Could you do a JB Weld Strength test on a hardhat glued to an overhead structure to see if it will hold you off the ground as good as Super Glue?

[sabinetrottier]

is it a good solution to JB weld screw holes in a metal roof ?

[miketaylor]

should avoid mixing on anything absorbent - use something like onion skins for vehicle body filer

Quick weld is about 2, 000 PSI weaker than cold steel
Quick weld comes in two tubes now

[karensimon]

Can this be used on the metal trim around my fire door where the trim split? Thanks.

[jestnutz]

theres tape, zip ties, super glue now jb weld. cant be beat.

[davidreynolds]

I think for a true head to head comparison the items repaired should be the same. But good video all the same.
