Use JB Weld for repairing golf clubs where the head has become loose from the shaft. Initially prep area by sanding &/or wire brush (especially in the club head hozel) lto provide a key then IPA clean. Tape off areas near to where expoxy will be applied prevent addcidental epoxy drops. Set up jig to hold shaft and head in position I want. Apply epoxy to all sufaces then insert shaft, spin take out to check coverage, apply some more, reinsert then fix in position. Ensure residue is wiped off and retain sample to check expoxy goes off. Leave for 18-18hrs (until its rigid enough to move) then put on house radiator (over protective cover) so heat will really harden then joint. Not had a club "seperate" since using this stuff. Down side is that its difficult to seperate if you say want to install a new shaft. Then its a localised flame combined with a "puller" to do the job.

Thank you for the reply.

Your title says bonds to anything. Then said i use a bondo applicator because nothing sticks to it.😂😂😂

Very nice but a little “shakey” on the camera and out of focus …

Hi. Can you please advice about which type glue to use to glue polycarbonate as the 5 gallons drinking water bottles. I tried various things but nothing would stick properly on that polycarbonate bottle . If you can please send me your email I will share a picture of what I'm struggling to do.Thanks

I’ve sold this product for decades and use it just as long……always great to learn a new technique. Thanks!

Great video! Looking forward to more contents!

I had a particular application where JB weld was the solution. I first used the Kwik version and wasn't exactly satisfied with the self-leveling that occurred. Thinking that the longer cure time of the original would result in better leveling of the cured surface I tried it. To my surprise, the Kwik was better at self-leveling than the original...

I have a dime size hole in my wheelbarrow, how do i use this to seal it, thanks

That was wierd the package looked un opened but it was clearly already pierced.

Will J B Weld seal a leaky gas tank? Will gas affect the bond over time?

Is it strong enough for fixing cracks in a ford model a valve cover ?

I have used the aluminum from a drink can with holes punched in it as a sort of rebar with J B Weld on both sides as well as jbw on the broken part, forever repairs.

Hai Dave. Circa early Seventies, on the way to a career of fixing cars!! Starter motor needed brushes. Ultra short braided wire ends for field coils live and Earth brushes at starter End plate 1) Purchased OEM Brush set of 4 2) Brushes came with a hole at the side. 3) Luckily had v.little experience with starter brushes soldering where space is very limited and flexibility of the braided brush wire is paramount . 4) So could not use Normal soldering as soldering " run off" makes the braid some what stiff- thus preventing smooth uninterupting contact with the commutator. 5) To preserve the braid lenght, I filed off the brushes till i got at the actual braid tips of all brushes . 6) Mission -- finding a somewhat untested, and untried method of Condutive bonding. 7) Brushes filings which I had filed off------- mixed with some Glue of that era applied carefully to keep flexibility a priority , did the trick. Some 12 years later, the car came for an engine rebore, and the starter was still going strong!! Wish Ihad JB Weld Well done Dave - I like your Ch.

I use it when the heat from welding or soldering could damage the items to be bonded. Go-to solution no questions. Since watching this video I will start testing for conductivity as the conductive epoxies are expensive and I have had no luck with them in getting a strong bond. Thanks for this video.

I discovered the magnetic properties of JB Weld by accident while installing a magnet in an oil drain plug into a shallow hole I drilled. The next day the top portion of the magnet was perfectly encapsulated in the epoxy through a process of migration. Years later, other than a slight discoloration, it's in perfect condition and acts as a good indicator of my MC transmission wear. Great video!!!

24:12 For sure JB is great stuff. I too have that same sanding block you used in the video, and I also have one of the black rubber ones with the 2 imbedded nails on each end for affixing the sandpaper. I wanted to ask you about that white plastic dispenser with the stainless steel pump lid. One if my careers (I'm 76) was as a stained glass artist/designer/craftsman and I used to have a couple of those dispensers for the various types of fluxes I used for soldering lesd, copper, brass, zinc, etc.. Do you know if they are still available, as mine are long gone (from the 70s). Could use a couple in my shop again. Thank you for your informative videos.

nice video but not much of a demonstration i thought you were going to bond 2 steel bars together end to end and hang a volkswagen from it.

Two things. 1. I want to point out that I've been woodworking since 1974 and I learned something from this video that has nothing to do with JB Weld. I learned to use a plastic knife to get ridges when gluing small wood pieces together. What I'm trying to say is we are never too old or too experienced to learn. 2. What temperature do you use for the heat gun to warm up the JB Weld?

I have spread JB kwik out in a thin sheet on waxed paper. As it begins to set but it is still a bit tacky, you can peel it off and use it to bridge open spaces. I've gone as far as two inches. Great for bridging a gap in a thin walled hollow object that has lost a piece. Fairly large areas can be covered in consecutive pieces. You can also press the sheet into a hollow mold.

I just rang the bell to subscribe to your videos. Channels who impart valuable information are rare. I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks!

I worked in a manufacturing plant that produced 4” stainless steel pieces of scrap 1/16” thick. I collected several stacks of these for use in my home shop. One of my uses is a mixing palette for J B Weld along with Bondo, paint and other products.

I've used JB weld on a number of occasions and have had the experience where it never seems to fully set and become hard; rather, even after 24 hours it's still somewhat soft, and as such it just seems to pull apart under the first application of real force I apply. I've tried making sure I get equal amounts of each component, and made sure to mix it very well, but still it never seems to fully harden. All my friends and all the legends claim it's one of the best epoxies out there, yet I never seems to get it to set. Any suggestions?

I have a John Deere tractor that has a plastic tank that uses Diesel fuel and the tank got punctured at a level about 1/2 way up. What procedure do I need to take to successfully seal the 1/2 inch hole.???

Hi Mr. Riddle, It was a pleasure talking with you today. Your channel is going to blow up. You're authentic, and you provide genuine value and a level of engagement that I've never seen. You won't be able to keep up with the demand for your time, and if you can, then life really is a joke, and you may be its author. You have cracked the algorithm. Congratulations!

Can JB Weld be used to patch metal gas cans? I tried it once before and it didn't work. The leak was on the can bottom at the seam. I have another can that got a pin hole on the side from the can moving in and out from hot and cold.

Great video. 2-1-25 SA

Don't quit your day job !

Dave I am 82 uears old and I am having with my teeth braking off. My dentest want pull what is left whcih I don't want to do that. I have been looking a way to attach the tooth back in place. with somekind of glue or attachement material. What do you think about using JB weld?? I can't use a brige and they is one on eack side of the broken tooth. Thanks for the help. Joe Moore

I once used JB Weld to repair a door frame that was coming apart. He didn't talk about JB Qwik.

Is it like devcon

2:55 Did you do an edit or was the JB already pierced when you bought it?

Could it be used to fill a pit in a v8 cylinder sleeve

Years ago I had a ton of little medium-size holes in my radiator for my car. I use JB weld to fill all the little and medium size holes and it worked like a charm! As far as I remember I drove that car for years and years until I sold it. JB weld is awesome.

J B Weld is a product I have been using for well over 45 years. Made a Belhousing to Transmission Bolt Boss when one snapped off on a Chrysler 4 speed when the driveshaft broke. The boss was thru to the gear lube side. Cleaned it up, used a propane torch to heat the iron, slathered on JB Weld and let sit till it was tacky. Then using masking tape I made the boss shape and mixed up some more JB Weld and heated it up so it was thin and poured it into the tape mould. Drilled the hole and bolted it up. Lasted many Drag race starts and 50,000 miles of street driving. I have mixed up JB Weld, heat thinned it out and wetted out Fiberglass cloth. You must rinse the glass cloth with acetone to remove any SIZING chemical that is there for Polyester resin as JB Weld does not stick to the sizing. Also to make a repair in ABS plastic I used stainless window screen to make a shape then use heat thinned JB Weld to coat the screen. Apply a few coats on both sides and sand it out once set. Use Heat to thin JB Weld, NEVER thin with Acetone. Acetone will thin it out but you will lose a lot of strength. But heating JB Weld will also make it set up faster so use prudence.

*_Can anyone explain why I am phantom smelling the JB Weld? Or has youtube come up with smello-vision?_*

My grandpa was using his old 50hp tractor to plow his garden. The font axle broke in half. He jacked the tractor up, cleaned the broken joint, bought enough JB weld to mix about half a gallon and blobbed it around the joint. After curing he finished plowing to garden. The joint lasted for a month or so before it broke again. Amazing stuff.

better mixture is made by scraping back and forth with flat blade - this is the same way printers mix ink -

Thanks David. Very informative and enjoyable video. I learned a lot. John

Opinion on JB weld vs 3M 5200 especially in marine applications?

Wow ! Iron in the J.B. Weld ! I definitely won't use it on some material that I don't to be electrically conductive ..... . Does the J.B. Plastic formula have iron in it ? Thank you David ! The algorithm just suggested your channel......Bam ! Subscribed

JB Weld does not have "steel" in it. It may have magnitite particles in it that in a lot of areas can be found in regular dirt. There are a lot of elemental particles that display magnetic attraction. Steel is not naturally occurring and takes a lot of very expensive manufacturing operations and additives to even create. This fact throws a great deal of questioning as to the accuracy and integrity of this presentation in my humble opinion. It looks to me like this guy is full of beans.

Thanks Dave. JB Weld is my go to for just about any epoxy job, but there is so much about it that you have just revealed to me. I use JBW on carbon fibre radio controlled yachts for repairs as well as bonding jobs. The colour of the JBW hides well against carbon fibre.One thing I found with repairs is that JBW will run, or creep, when used as a filler. Be careful of the orientation of the hole being filled during curing as runs are a bugger to clean up. I was surprised that after stressing that cardboard should not be used as a mixing palette, you used cardboard as the mixing tool. The absorption may be minimal but it is something that I would avoid. OCPD kicking in I guess. Here in Australia, plastic disposable eating utensils have been replaced with 'cardboardish' devices that are horrible to use. I think I'll be scouring the secondhand shops searching for plastic knives. They may become highly sought after due to your hint. Good on you Dave, 'your blood's worth bottling' as we say down here.

Years ago, on a trip with a friend, his car overheated, and upon investigation I saw a steady stream of water coming out of the weep hole in the bottom of the shaft housing of the pump. It happened in a small town on a Sunday, with only a small general store open, but they had JB Weld and an assortment of small screws that I purchased. One screw fit nicely in the weep hole, so I glued it in with JB Weld. I figured that with the hole plugged, the water might start leaking out between the shaft and end of the housing, but to my surprise, no more leaks. I told my friend to buy a water pump as soon as we returned home and I would help him replace it, but he never did. He drove the car three more years and sold it with the same water pump and no water leakage.

The JB weld I have purchased over the past year or so smells like Dev-con epoxy

Strange. You open the new pack and remove the 'sealed' tubes, but when the cap is removed from the white one, it squirts out without needing to be pierced. Not much of a seal to that tube. Most JB Weld products are very good, and I do use them. The high heat is a fail. I contacted JB Weld directly to confirm use of the high heat product and after using it, it failed quickly on a hot steel manifold.

A simple concept, but really well done. I particularly like the interactions w/ the camera man..

Excellent video. I enjoyed the extra bit about anodized aluminum!

It’s very clear David that you have the knowledge and a unique gift for clearly explaining technology that others lack. Please just keep doing what you do so well. I always learn something new! Cheers from Australia.

Hello Mr. Riddle What type of adhesive would you recommend to bond neoprene rubber bandsaw tires to cast iron bandsaw wheels? Thank you.
