Description:

J-B Stik Weld is a hand kneadable, steel-reinforced epoxy putty adhesive/sealant tha will plug holes and make permanent repairs on wet and dry surfaces. It will even cure completely submerged in water or GASOLINE! Simply knead thoroughly, with your fingers, a portion necessary for the repair and apply. J-B Stik will fully cure 20-30 minutes; and can be drilled, sanded, filed, tapped, machined, and painted. J-B Stik requires no tools or "prep time", and makes no mess.

How does it work?

Simply knead thoroughly, with your fingers, a portion necessary for the repair and apply.

How to use it:

Use J-B STIK as an adhesive, laminate, plug, filler, sealant, and electrical insulator. Squeeze out equal portions from the black and red tubes. Mix thoroughly. Clean surface to be bonded. Apply J-B STIK, and let it cure. That's all there is to it!

Like metal, J-B STIK can be formed, drilled, ground, tapped, machined, filled, sanded, and painted. It stays pliable for about 30 minutes after mixing, sets in 4-6 hours, and cures fully in 15-24 hours. It's water-proof; petroleum-, chemical-, and acid-resistent; resists shock, vibration, and extreme temperature fluctuations, and withstands temperatures up to 500° F. J-B STIK is super strong, non-toxic, and safe to use. Before it sets, you can clean up with soap and water. (print instruction sheet)

Uses

What does it bond to?

Virtually any combination of iron, steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, pewter, porcelain, ceramic, marble, glass, PVC & ABS, concrete, fiberglass, wood, fabric, paper -- just about any porous and non-porous material.


Properties (psi)
Tensile Strength: 3960
Adhesion: 1800
Flex Strength: 7320
Tensile Lap Shear: 1040
Shrinkage: 0.0%
Resistant to: 500° F
Mechanics -- you can use J-B STIK with confidence. It is designed for safe, reliable, permanent repairs in engine compartments and heated environments up to 500° F (twice the heat-resistance of competitive products). It's strong as steel and impervious to water, gasoline, chemicals, and acids. Working with J-B STIK is quick, easy, and convenient -- and saves you time, work, and money!
Not recommended for use on manifolds, exhaust systems, and other engine components which normally operate at temperatures above 500° F.

Ah Jasus, you'll get that stuff in any motor factors, sure even B&Q stock a version. _ _ _ _ Epoxy putty - there's loads of brand names for the same stuff. You're not the "J" in JB are you?...

Don't be too hard on yourself.:D Its just another brand of the same old stuff, pretty much all 2 part epoxy putties are the same, some just have a better website and packaging.

don't say it out loud, but I find all those epoxies to be crap. I've used some serious quantities(think €60k+) of them on big jobs mixed with 3phase industrial stirrers, and they never, ever last. They look lovely for a while but their basic structure and expansion/contraction rates do not match other materials closely enough and so, ...they separate. If what you are sticking them to is 1.wet(forget it) 2.gets hot(forget it) 3.Vibrates(forget it) 4.is not surgically clean(forget it) 5.is subject to high stress(forget it) or 6.is somthimg you rely on to keep you alive(forget it). Usually it's ok for modelling, or for recreating an architectural feature, but if it has to actually do work, use somthing else.:)

JAMES VTI S

why do they use them to seal cracks on engine blocks then

i would agree with pottler when it sets first it looks like steel ,it can be ground or drilled but it seems to deteriorate and become brittle after a while, anything i have used to repair it with has broken again

JAMES VTI S

well i went to tesocs today and found JML Fix It, so i used it
seems tought bit not got 24hrs yet

lostboy

dont really agree with you pottler, Jb is more of a "chemical metal" than an epoxy glue, i know some who have reinforced engine ports on 2 strokes that would be broken through with porting and it seems to work quiet well.has to be used right though

we are talking not about jb weld but jb weld stick .. it a putty

This stuff saved my hide on a roadtrip through France last summer. Bad potholes on mountain roads caused my radiator fans to come off their mounts and tear a tiny nip in the radiator.

Lost all the coolant after a short while, luckily spotted the problem on the gauge before went t!ts up.

Short stop at a Bricomarche (French B&Q type thing, plastered some of this onto the hole in the rad, and let it dry for an hour.

Not only got me home, but I ran the car with that on it for another 6 months before replacing the rad

Every toolbox should have some. It's up there with velcro, duct tape and tiewraps.
