This is a replacement for one which ran out... to fill in a number of holes, caused by corrosion, on my car. Having sanded them with coarse sandpaper then applied a rust converter I set about patching the holes with this JB Weld, which was left for at least 24 hours to fully harden. Once dry it was easy to sand it flat before the primer stage. This product is perfect for dealing with small holes needing a repair, without the need for conventional welding. I don't have any experience of welding, nor the equipment so JB Weld is ideal for me. Highly recommended!

I welded a carburettor on a lawn m...ower with it and it fell off when it got hot. If it is JB Weld Original why do they call this NEW JB8265? The high temperature one is like a putty for bunging up holes in things that get hot. I don't think you could could join parts of a broken engine manifold together with it. Richard

this is far and away the best p...roduct I have ever used of its type.I used it to fix a petrol tap into my motorcycle tank because the tank thread was damaged.I first tested it by gluing a pair of large new nuts together with this JB weld after cleaning and roughning them they were put into a jar of petrol.After 2 weeks in the petrol they were taken out and were still fixed together and could not be pulled apart.JB weld sets rock hard but unlike many other products it really does STICK.I would recommend JB weld way above any other product of its type.

There was a hairline crack in the cast iron crank... case of my tractor, which resulted in a significant oil leak. I cleaned the crank case and using meths, followed by a light touch with a power file. I then applied a small amount of J B Weld along the crack line. 24hrs later I started the engine and it has cured the problem. It’s a couple of weeks since I made the repair and so far so good. If the problem occurs again this is an easy and quick fix.

Hit a big rock on a car rally abroad. Alloy ...sump cracked and developed a small oil leak. Classic car, so replacement part very expensive and labour cost also very significant. Drained and carefully cleaned external surface damage. J-B weld applied combined with patch of fine alloy mesh over leak spot. Easy to mix epoxy and applied in thin coat over damaged area. Leak cured and confident to use car with infrequent visual check on repair. Not easy to get attractive finish but nobody sees it and if it works who worries. A truly excellent product that seems to do exactly what is claimed.
