JB Weld?
Anyone ever use this stuff? I'm thinking about using it for the 1st time. I had a nut that was welded to the car and I broke the weld. I was thinking of just Jb welding the nut back in place and go from there. Will this work?

Re: JB Weld?
I'd never go anywhere near a car with JB Weld. Whatever you're doing, there's a better solution than JB. It's garbage. It's weak, and it's shear and peel strength sucks (it doesn't stick very well). If it's a captive nut, JB Weld isn't going to bond it back on if it needed to be welded in the first place. I don't think I have to explain that JB is not as strong as a weld, and if you broke a weld, JB is not going to come anywhere close to being an adequate repair.

I've used it to patch boost leaks. It would have held if I had the patience to wait for it to cure, I think. The shit that was leftover was strog as hell.
It all depends on the application, IMO.
