JB Weld

This stuff is amazing. I raced at Roebling last sunday and after the first practice, the inside of my windscreen and gas tank was covered in mist like I just stepped out of a steam room. I knew it was going to be humid down there but damn I wasn't expecting that. It turned that out that I got a rock hole in my radiator and water was spewing everywhere. Oops. Just then, "Professional Novice" Ed Jenkins came over with JB Weld to save my day. In 5 minutes, my radiator was good to go. Thanks Ed and Thanks JB Weld. It's 2 little tubes of stuff that you mix together and 4 minutes later it turns into steel. Crazy. Where can I buy this stuff? Everyone should have this stuff in their arsenal of... stuff.

 

Get it at just about any well stocked auto parts store; stuff works great on holes in sidecovers, too. Like when you're out dirtbiking in the middle of nowhere and hole one on a large rock - not that I have any first-hand experience with that. No, sir...

 

Any hardware store or autoparts store.{edit} What ^^^^^^^^said

 

Hey Bill, you ever use that stuff on the Busch cars after they scrape the walls?

 

Get JB Quick...sets up much faster

 

J B Weld works the balls. Lever uses it for foot pegs! :up:

 

but what is the safety wire for?


that brings back memories :up:

 

RTFRB.

 

I prefer QuikSteel. Sets up much quicker and it's easier to use. Tried JB weld on a cracked case and it didn't hold. Quiksteel fixed it right up.

 

There was a bolt running through the peg!!!

 

but what is the safety wire for?




JB is a temporary fix, but it is really just a good grade of epoxy. They call it steel but it isn't. My advise is to get the radiator repaired. The epoxy will turn lose over time and your leak will come back.

 

And JB Weld and epoxies make it a Pain In The Ass to Weld when used on aluminum, you have to get it ALL off, so think about that when your smearing the stuff all over the broken parts.

 

Is that a whine I hear?

 

No kidding, anybody got some cheese and crackers?
