Excellent video. I bought this ($5.54 for .47 oz) not knowing it came with the mixing tube. The tube would waste more than I need to use. I mixed it the old fashioned way. 5 minute epoxy generally means you have 5 minutes to mix and apply, then cures in 24 hours...just like this stuff
My whole point was that there was 20 different epoxy products and they all said 24 cure or didn't say a cure time except this one. It plainly said cures in an hour. The product is good I just don't like when they put inaccurate info on the packaging.
It's very temperamental stuff. The trick is a hot room and as thin of a layer as possible. Clamp both sides of the object to push out any excess and you get the best bond
Jb weld is great stuff. All other formulas state 24-hour cure time. This formula stated a much shorter cure time. I wanted to see if it did what it said. It cured the same as others.
I have use JB clearweld well over a hundred times. Prep your surface properly by scuffing and then cleaning with acetone. In High temperatures it'll cure just fine with low humidity. I also don't glob it on like Snot LOL.
I have used JB weld for 40 years. I have used it to rebuild the end of a crank shaft on a truck and it lasted for years. My complaint is on this package the stated cure time is significantly less that all the others. At the stated cure time it was not cured. After it cured over night it performed as expected.
@@ShopRamblings I have used J-B clearweld far more than regular J-B Weld. I put a space heater next to the workpiece maybe abour than a foot away and I run a fan to circulate air. I find that it's an hour and 40 minutes till cure time for me.
If it is not mixed completely or not at the correct ratio it will never cure. The original JBweld was the standard for years. This is not even close to the original stuff.
It does stink real bad so don't use it in the house. I do believe it says somewhere to let it cure longer for best results. I'm glad I watched this video because I did the same thing and thought it was empty already. Didn't notice the cap. Other videos never mentioned it. Thank you
I used some of this stuff and 48hrs its not curing. I mixed it thoroughly despite using the syringe too. Ive used a decent amount of epoxy over the years and this stuff is junk.
I grew up using JBWeld. Used it once to build up a crank shaft on a truck that the end broke off. It ran for years after. This suff definitely does not live up to the JBWeld name.
Did it ever fully cure? I’m having the same issue and think that the mixing nozzle didn’t mix it well enough. I used it over 24 hours ago and it’s still a little tacky and gummy.
The only reason I even timed this was that every other brand said that their products set and one to two hours and cured in 24 this particular product said that it cured in 1 hour. Other products of the same brand said 24 hours cure time.
Yes it fully cured in 24 hour like all the others stated they would. While the package stated cured in 1 hour I believe it is a 1 hour set time. It is a good product. I liked the applicator. I was looking for fast cure time and this stated it was faster than the other products but wasn't.
@@ShopRamblings I was wondering the same thing. Said 1 hour but it still felt soft even a few hours after first applying the epoxy. Until I read the fine print on the back that says "sets in 5 minutes and will fully cure overnight"... "overnight" Further research on the interwebs I discovered that after 24 hours, most epoxy will be 95% cured and 100% cured after 72 hours. Somewhat misleading if you'd ask me. Surely a useful product, but definitely not a quick fix. Will not eliminate super glue in some applications.
That is the thing. All the other brands said 24 cure. This one said 1 hour cure. It did not have the fine print stating 24 hour like the other brands. It is just a little dishonesty in the packaging.
@@ShopRamblings I mean it was written on the packaging as of the one I bought a week ago. Wasn't on the front of the packaging, but was written mid paragraph on the pack.
Yea, I don’t know what’s up with this stuff but god damn, it is taking forever to set and cure. I was repairing some glasses and came back after an hour of clamping and as soon as I released the clamp they pulled apart. I thifirn maybe I didnt get correct ratio. So I literally cut the plunger to add more hardener and still, no cure
Found this stuff at a dollar and was going to use it for a knife handle, but now I think I just need to go to HD and get some gorilla brand epoxy or something.
You are not supposed to pour it on like freaking gravy son, the max thickness is 15 millimeters for it to cure in one hour hell at that rate it did better than fiber glass resin. Lol good job man.
15 mils is not 15 millimeters. A mil is a thousandth of an inch and is used mostly to measure plastic sheeting. Converted it's less than half of a millimeter
I want to use this product for making hanging china cup bird feeders. I'm assuming I need to clean the china first with acetone or alcohol and then allow to dry for at least 24 hours in a humid summer temp. I am worried about it gelling up and coming apart in hot sun. does anybody know if that will happen or will it hold up?
Deff didnt cure in 1 hour lol.. but thats ok. I bough this stuff for a 1942 German double barrel shotgun gun stock. Hopefully it works because the stock is cracked bad. I also used wooden dowels.. i probably should have used metal dowels.. but if the wood doesnt work.. at least i can drill them out. I couldnt find what glue to use.. like you they have like 30 types of glue all claim they are the best... And i dont wood glue can hold up to a gun shooting.. but well see i guess.. if it cracks again.. ill use steel dowels and try another glue
I only used epoxy because I was attaching different materials. I do mostly wood working. For wood to wood I would use Tite bond III. Properly applied the surrounding wood will break before the joint.
@@ericschulze5641 too late.. i already did it over a year ago.. used Jb weld two part clear epoxy.. and wooden dowels drilled and tapped into thick points of the stock.. then used wooden walnut plugs and lintseed oil to match the stain on the walnit stock.. came out good. And it fires again. I also had to weld and file down both trigger levers in the gun which were broken.. and find a 1900s remington safety spring. Which matched but was too long so i had to chizzle some wood inside the stock make it fit. Works great now. Fires.. even both triggers.. it held up fine.
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305... I acquired an old jc Higgins 18 gauge that someone decided to cut the stock off at the halfway point. I used dowels and Elmer's wood glue and clamped it. That was back in'97. It's still holding tough after all these years.
WARNING: I am posting this on every video review of Clearweld out there. This stuff STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I epoxied something almost three days ago now and have to keep the item in the garage ever since. The entire garage smells like burning hair+skin I can't even go near it because it still smells nearly overwhelmingly strong after 3 days.. If the stench doesn't go away I am going to have to scrap my entire project and try to find another adhesive - that's how bad it is. Came very close to vomiting when I squeezed out the first line of this stuff onto my work piece. Even just opening the cap of a brand new syringe you can smell it from 10 feet away and the stench lingers in the room for a long time. I can still smell it in the clothes I took off and put in the hamper the day I used it...had to move those to the garage too. BTW I only used a tiny amount of epoxy, about two thin lines on a 5"x10" panel. It is horrible.
I just applied it to a project of my own, with a space heater blowing on it full blast. windows closed. doesnt smell that bad, at least for those of us that expect the stench of epoxy. it wont smell forever, go open a window, burn some sage, maybe a swab of vicks will do. people buy this product for the cure time and tensile strength, not because it smells good
there is no way you are serious, if you are either you're an idiot or a cry baby or both. Learn how to use a product or don't use it at all. It's epoxy, it's going to have a slight smell until it cures. the fact that your a grown ass man making this comment, like you're a wittle winey baby. i've used it a hundred times and never have i almost VOMITED (LOL) after just opening it. Grow up, and if it really is bothering you THAT MUCH, just use a different product.
I've used JB clearweld well over a hundred times. Use proper temperature and humidity when curing and prep your surface properly by scuffing up and cleaning with acetone. works like a charm. haven't had a failure yet. About 1.5 hours cure time.
Just used the product, and it took nearly 24 hours for the leftovers on the mixing surface to completely cure.
Did you package say"cures in 1hout"?
Exactly my experience with it. I don’t like that.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong but I tried to glue two pieces together with this and four days later it was still rubbery and not holding it

Yes. It took 24 hours.
I use this stuff a lot. It says cures in 1 hour if you apply it 15 mild thick. Or .015 of an inch. I assume that's why it takes longer to cure
I will keep that in mind next time. Thanks
i installed some anchors into concrete with this stuff, waited 3 hours and they pulled out! still stretchy/sticky!
That would suck.
😢 I don't think pulling it from the mixing attachment back into the tube is a good move.
Check
I've used this many times for thin applications (~1/8 to 3/16 inches) and needs at least 12 hours to sit.
The only reason I even timed this was that every other brand said that their products set and one to two hours and cured in 24 this particular product said that it cured in 1 hour. Other products of the same brand said 24 hours cure time.
Did you check later?

You need to let it set longer since you piled it on so thick.

It takes 24 hours to cure. I don't know why they claim it cures in an hour. It just makes their product look bad.
Probably didn't mix it well enough
@mattyb5817 Funny, I used it and mixed it by hand, 3 days later, it's still not cured.
Found this stuff at a dollar and was going to use it for a knife handle, but now I think I just need to go to HD and get some gorilla brand epoxy or something.
Good idea
Could have shown us after a couple hours then 24hours :/
I will keep that in mind next time. Thanks for the feedback.

I think you need something to convert metric-to-standard - 15mm is a little over 1/2 inch. At most, he applied 1/4".
15 mils is not 15 millimeters. A mil is a thousandth of an inch and is used mostly to measure plastic sheeting. Converted it's less than half of a millimeter

It should work. I would let it cure 24 hours. It says it cures in 1 hour but it didn't for me.
@@ShopRamblings thank you!
Use Elmers China and glass cement for China. That stuff truly bonds, even holds up through the dishwasher
Pull back on plunger before opening and after use to prevent that
Thanks
CAUTION: my JB weld DID NOT CURE after 24hrs !!!! never had a glue do this to me EVER Going back to 5 min epoxy
