What it for?

I went n bought some araldite earlier n saw it, and recognised the name, but read the packet n wasnt 100% what its for?

Is it a REALLY strong filler, or a REALLY strong glue, or both? Or?

The yank writeup on it seemed to contradict itself.

Is it better than araldite if it is a glue? They about the same price...

Ginge !

its a very very string adheisivem can stick metalk too but not sure how thiough


i know use it to stick the nuts and bolts on display at work so the dont wal off and stuck a 20p coin near the staircase with it too ( gotta love kids )

JB Weld is the brand, there's different types of product, but basically it's an adhesive.

No idea myself, although Araldite is used in some tough applications. Don't like the JB Weld comment about

... it could give DIY'ers some strange ideas

Ginge !

Billabong

LOL @ Bal Exactly (although knowing my luck, it probably could be used for that though I think I'd prefer the traditional way)

Yep, meant to add that also.....

What are you intending to do with it Steve?

Stavros

On the diagram on the back of the JB weld packet it shows it used on either an cracked engine block or gearbox casing if i remember right

Im sure it shows them glueing snapped cogs back on too

If you read their link I posted, it does mention engine repairs, and temp's it can withstand, it can be machined/drilled once cured etc...

I wonder if I could make a custom cam using that stuff, or repair a melted piston etc.. bosh some on it, bit of grinding and good as new

Ginge !
