J-B Weld 8281 Professional Size Steel Reinforced Epoxy - Hardener and Steel Pack - 10 oz

Sets up quickly and cures overnight. Smells during mixing and application, but it will bond whatever it touches. Not for use on items subjected to high heat. Works excellent on plastics and most metals. Make sure to have clean contact surfaces. Great value for the job it does. I have a large telescope that weighs over 40lbs. One of the tripod mounts cracked during transport to a site. I glued the pieces together and it has stayed bonded for 24 years. Specifically a G5 equatorial German Mount tripod with a C8 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube.

This product works well on ceramic, metallic, and other mixed media surfaces and is handled on heavy duty. It is easy to use, and you can take time to use it in the right spots. Only you need to care for the color. It will be dark gray when dries, and the texture is hard plastic.

I love this stuff. Use it a lot. I like that it is a slow set which allows me to do a complicated repair and because it is slow, the results are very strong. Sticks to most everything (not polyethylene of course). I've used it to fix plastic items and metal items. With plastic I often embed metal pins or needle pieces in the plastic (after drilling tiny holes) to enhance the shear strength. This steel filled epoxy is really tough. It is easy to mix whether by weight or volume, both are 1:1. I did have it come a bit late but they informed me of that -- probably some supply chain issue.

Great product !

I used this product to install the patio door track cover. Since my old door track was quite damaged I had to apply this glue to the whole 8’ track and I found it extremely messy to use it. The bond was strong but for me it was not very user friendly. They should have a two paste mixing system like dental impression materials with a special gun with a mixing tip so that when you squeeze the gun the glue will come out from the mixing tip the two pastes already mixed and can apply the glue onto any thing that you are trying to glue together neat and tidily without any mess and not wasting the material also. After using this 2 tube glue everything around me including myself got dirty so I’m not going to be fond of using it again.

The Epoxy works well with many materials. It does have a total cure time of 24 hours. On the front end, planning, clamping, mixing, and assembling the material is time dependent. Any excess epoxy dries to a dark gray color and my wife was not satisfied with my repairs to her china container. It was my mistake in not wiping off the excess after I had assembled the parts. This is the jumbo pack, so you have plenty to work with.

The price was great for this big size. Beats buying at a tool store.Got a small fridge where people in the office take it upon themselves to "empty" it of refreshing drinks. Got this JB Weld, a small latch and a spare lock I had lying around.I also had a spare thermal paste spreader spoon from a a computer build I recently did so I used that as my mixer. Right before I was ready to apply the JB Weld, I got a piece of cardboard and applied on the board both the bottles of equal length, separately. I then used the spoon to thoroughly mix the two until it came out in a consistent medium gray tone.Fridges have coolant pipes on the side of it so screws were a no-go. Instead, I used this Original JB Weld formula to keep it attached to the fridge. I installed in the the following steps.1. Emptied the contents in the fridge and unplugged it2. Let it sit for a couple hours so the water could melt into the drain pan on the bottom and then emptied the water3. Turned the fridge on its side4. Eyeballed where on the fridge the latch and hole should go5. Made a cross hatch of scratches with a utility knife on the surface of the fridge where the latch and hole was going to go as well as on the bottom side of the latch and hole itself. This allows the JB Weld to adhere and bite better on these items as it goes into these scratches and not just the surface.6. Applied JB Weld to the area on the fridge with the cross hatch pattern7. Laid the latch and hole in its open state so that the JB Weld doesn't adhere itself to the latch and its swivel8. Applied more JB Weld on top of the body of the latch and hole.If you apply too much you can also use a file set to file away the excess.Now, people can no longer feel free to my drinks! Tiny investment to secure my refreshments.
