J-B Weld 8267UK SteelStik Epoxy Putty

Product Information

The epoxies tested include Gorilla epoxy, Devcon Plastic Steel, Loctite Epoxy Weld, JB Weld original, JB Weld Kwik Weld, and JB ExtremeHeat. This more or less covers the entire gamut of epoxies you would find in the glue aisle of your local home supply store; the Gorilla epoxy is your basic 5-minute epoxy that comes in a double barrel syringe, and the JB Welds are the cream of the crop. The mixture will set enough for the glued parts to be handled within 4–6 hours, [7] but requires up to 15 hours at cool temperatures to fully cure and harden. Temperatures above 50°F (10°C) shorten all these times. [7] CURE AND SET TIME: After kneading the two part formula together by hand, WaterWeld takes 25 minutes to set and cures in 1 hour. J-B Weld WaterWeld set and cure color is off white. VERSATILE AND DEPENDABLE: J-B Weld Original is steel reinforced, has a tensile strength of 5020 PSI and can withstand temperatures up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit (287 degrees Celsius. When fully cured, J-B Weld Original is waterproof and resistant to petroleum, chemical and acid.

Plastic Padding Super Steel Epoxy Weld

The company had its beginnings in 1969 [3] in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Sam Bonham, at the time running a machine shop, discovered a way to create what he called a "tougher than steel" epoxy. [3] In 1968, Sam's future wife Mary persuaded him to sell his invention and he founded the J-B Weld Company. Sam died suddenly in 1989. He had commented before his death, "My life's dream is for J-B Weld to be all the way around the world, and for me to see an 18-wheeler load out of here with nothing but J-B Weld." [3] Within a year of his death, Mary had opened a European hub in London, internationalizing the J-B Weld Company and the distribution of the product. [3] Since 2008, the company has broadened the product line to add J-B SteelStik, KwikWood, PlasticWeld, MarineWeld, Perm-O-Seal, WoodWeld and ClearWeld. [5] [6] J-B Weld epoxy [ edit ] To use Super Steel Epoxy make sure the surfaces to be bonded are clean and dry and free from oil, dirt or grease.

The J-B Weld Company's original product line focused on a small number of products: J-B Weld (original 2-tube epoxy), J-B Kwik (4-hour epoxy), J-B Stik ( epoxy putty), Waterweld (underwater adhesive/filler), and a few others. [4] There are a few automotive aphorisms that people dispense like hot dogs at a barbecue when what you really want is a cheeseburger. One is, after seeing a photo of an accident, “That’ll buff out.” Another is “LS1 it” (drop a Corvette engine in a car in need of a motor, usually a woeful rat of a car worth less than the LS1). Both sayings are usually offered with a heavy dose of irony. But a third, “Just J-B Weld it,” is often said seriously. Surface prep is key. Clean is good, but rough is better. The epoxy needs to grab onto the surface. If there are edges, the epoxy can grab on to, the adhesion will be better. compare https://www.jbweld.com/product/clearweld-syringe vs. https://www.jbweld.com/product/j-b-weld-twin-tube

Evo-Stik Hard & Fast Metal Epoxy Putty

PRODUCT FEATURES AND STRENGTH: J-B Weld SteelStik has lap shear strength of 900 PSI, can withstand continuous temperatures up to 350F (176C ) and intermittent temperatures of 450F (232C), and is chemical resistant against petroleum, hydraulic fluids and other chemicals when fully cured. SteelStik can be molded, shaped, sanded, drilled and tapped. And, regarding my BMW 2002tii, if the J-B Weld patch fails and I can’t find a replacement cylinder head, I can always, you know, just LS1 it. It is a good idea to clean the surfaces with methylated spirit or cellulose thinners and to roughen the surfaces before applying. CURE AND SET TIME: After kneading the two part formula together by hand, SteelStik takes 5 minutes to set and cures in 1 hour. J-B Weld SteelStik set and cure color is dark grey.

The Plastic Padding Super Steel comes in two tubes. When the contents of the tubes are thoroughly mixed, the curing process begins and you have a short period to place and use the mixture. The mixture hardens and soon cures to be as strong as steel. Features & Benefits: PRODUCT FEATURES AND STRENGTH: J-B Weld WaterWeld has lap shear strength of 1300 PSI, can withstand continuous temperatures up to 300F (149C) and intermittent temperatures of 350F (176 degrees Celsius) and is chemical resistant against petroleum, hydraulic fluids and other chemicals when fully cured. While J-B Weld Original epoxy dries to a dark grey color, [10] J-B Weld's ClearWeld epoxy dries clear. [11] Although its bond is not quite as strong as the Original's (3900 psi vs. 5020 psi), [12] ClearWeld is often preferred when appearance is an important consideration. [13] J-B Kwik epoxy [ edit ] It hardens in 5 minutes and cures in 10 minutes. It works well under a maximum temperature of 315°C (<100 continuous). It contains 54g/l solvent. It is not suitable for soft plastic and polypropylene.Even though it’s still not leaking, I don’t really consider this a permanent or semi-permanent repair. However, I am continuing to drive the car, maximizing its use until the snow moves into New England. At that time, I’ll pull the head and probably try to find a replacement. SURFACE APPLICATIONS: Iron & Stainless Steel, Copper & Brass, Aluminum & Bronze, Fiberglass and Plastic & PVC.

Me and the car at the “2002: ICON” exhibit at the BMW CCA Foundation Museum in Greer, South Carolina. Rob Siegel Most epoxies add strength to a joint when the epoxy-joint layer is minimized. Epoxy, in and of itself, doesn’t carry strength. Its the cross-linking nature of the epoxy establishing bonds between the materials forming the joint. Long spans (think gaps) between the articles forming the joint creates a weak bond- the epoxy is making longer bonds to the materials to be joined. A thin gap is best. JB Weld has small metallic materials in suspension, so some gap filling will work with this original formulation. a b c d e f "About J-B Weld Company", ChemicalWIKI.com, 2020, https://chemicalwiki.com/j-b-weld-incorporated/ JB-WELD about] The Plastic Padding Super Steel Epoxy Weld is a dark-grey coloured, metal-filled, two-component adhesive, which sets like steel and is ideal for emergency repairs around the home, garden, farm, car, boat etc.J-B Weld is a two-part epoxy adhesive (or filler) that can withstand high-temperature environments. After the initial setting period of a few hours, heat (e.g. from a heat lamp or incandescent light bulb placed near the bond) will speed the curing time. [2] [7] J-B Weld can be used as an adhesive, laminate, plug, filler, sealant, or electrical insulator. [8] When fully cured, J-B Weld can be drilled, formed, ground, tapped, machined, sanded, and painted. [8] Two-part epoxy is one of those must-have items in your toolbox, albeit kept in a ziploc bag to keep all that goo off the rest of your tools. It’s a glue with a million uses, but which brand is best? Should you keep some cheap five-minute epoxy around, or should you splurge for the fancy, long-setting JB Weld. It’s not a perfect analysis, but at least [Project Farm] has done the experiment. This is a test of which two-part epoxy you can find at your local home supply store is strongest.
