Aquaponics leaking pipe fix - Fixing a leak using epoxy (JB Water Weld)

In this video I use epoxy to fix some small leaks that I have on the piping of my aquaponics sytem. They were leaking because most of the plumbing I just dry fitted or used silicon to seal them. I do that because I like reusing things if I end up changing plans or have to move. But it leads to more of a headache doing it this way.
But otherwise this video is just how I use epoxy (JB weld water weld) to sell the leaks.

I used this to patch a pvc pipe running along the house. Five years later, the stuff is still working fine. JB Weld products are life savers...no I do not work for them..haha.

I came looking for an easy solution for a shower drain leak. Not only did I find that, I found a fascinating aquaponics channel. Thanks for the quick video, saved me a lot of time!

dude...I have never used this stuff before but just attempted to use on the underside of my kitchen sink for a large crack. I did about half the length of the crack and wasted so much because I was having to mound it on and smudge or else it would just stick to me and pull off the sink. I saw your tip and instantly tried it, and was able to easily kneed the putty, then roll it and form near perfectly along the rest of the crack. Thank you.

Product is easy to install and kept the pool warmer than it had usually been. Extended the use of the pool by a month or so. Great value!

I just saved $450 by watching this video.

I was looking for something like this. I've got an upstairs bathroom drain that's leaking in a pvc joint. I can just barely get to it through my downstairs ceiling. The joint is in hole in the ceiling joist and it would be a mess to cut another hole and cut out a bunch of pvc. I'm going to try to wrap this around the joint and see how well it holds. I've used other JB products before and they're really good. Thanks for showing.

I was just about to purchase some Flex Paste, but this looks like a way better option, thanks for the video

[MyProjectWeekend]

I used it on a hole I accidentally drilled in a drain pipe. Works great, thanks!

After you've gotten the gunk and epoxy on your hands... Rub your hands in the dirt... the more, the better. The dirt will take to the epoxy, then wash your hands. It's not a perfect way, but better than not trying.

This works for want sticky stuff on your hands.

Thank you so much for your tip and demonstration! I went to the store and bought the epoxy paste and fix something that I was about to trash it but I did not
Wanted cause I paid $159 and it cost me just $8 to fix it my self. Thanks again.

Thanks, that's exactly where my leak is in my garden irrigation system.

A few weeks ago our plastic tub dishwasher started leaking. Learned that after years of use, the bleach (in your dishwasher soap) and heat (from the heating element) has a deteriorating effect on the plastic. I found one hole (1/8" x 3/16") under the element. I purchased the JB Weld epoxy, which will hold up to the water and heat. I prepped the hole area and another spot starting to show signs of deterioration. I applied the epoxy inside the tub, and after removing the kick panel, to the underside area. It's been almost two months with no leaks. Also as my water is hot enough and I don't need the element to dry, I turned the element off.

I’ve got a beauty machin and it’s got a tiny leak and I was told it would cost me £595 to fix the leak, and I can’t afford it so I will try this first and hopefully it will save me lot of money

[atticusspontaneous]

Thanks bro. My tube didn't come with ANY directions. Your vid was quick and concise. Exactly what I needed since I'm trying to do this repair rn. Thank you!

2:00 Take what you need, and knead what you take.

Tried it on small pvc pipe leak on a hot tub. Didn't work at all and this was a pretty small leak. I have a hard time imagining this product being useful in many applications.

[joshuabray]

Thanks for the info! I had a plumbing repair done last week and at least one of the joints is leaking (about 1 drop every 30 seconds). Hopefully this will do the trick.

Thank you for the video going to use it for a connection on the side of my house. Take care!

Imagine hiring a plumber and he spends an hour under the sink only to find out that’s all he used. 😁
