The top of the JB weld lid on the outside has a pointy thingy on it used to pop the foil, no need for a pointy thing, rule of thumb for anything with foil sealed things like that.
You will have a hard time making things stick, because the casting needs to be very clean. As well as the surfaces, remember that most aluminum castings are rather porous so you need to do a really thorough job cleaning the edges of the hole. I recently did a similar repair, and I had to soak the case in a strong PineSol solution for a couple days, and scrub it down with a brush. It's a good idea to go over the patch area with steel wool before applying the JB Weld.
It’s sticky enough to hold itself on there. Maybe apply it a few times. There’s plenty of solution there for you to get dirty with. But mhmm now maybe you could get cardboard and do it the reverse way I did it. Put the solution on top of the cardboard and pry it good enough to where there can be no slip. I hope that make sense 🤝
Thermostat housing so I put this on there w a paintbrush tomorrow hopefully it works.
great video bro!
Thanks man. I appreciate it

Hey John, I appreciate that information as I did not know that. I have been learning as I go. It has been still holding strong. Thanks!!!
What if u have it on ur oil pan and do it from under the car how can you keep the jb weld on the hole still?

You could have jb welded the inside too and left the foil in place.
Excuse me if it sounds crazy but clarity is my best friend. Are you saying but the jb weld in between the foil and case or on top of the foil ?
@@RayzPlight top of the foil on both sides
Is it still working?
Yes it did still work. I sold it as I swapped a new engine in. Honda things :)
