    I want to see you apply a little pressure and test its strength . I can use other JB Weld products but not clearweld. With aluminum I scuff up both parts, cleaning with rubbing alcohol. I apply equal parts at room temperature ad stir and stir and stir. I then clamp the two pieces of aluminum together. I come back the next day and I apply moderate pressure and the two pieces snap apart. The grayish JB Weld works for me. I even repaired a broken oil cooler mount on a vintage airplane in the late 1990s and it is still flying today being exposed to the vibration of the engine.

    I'm welding my heater core pipe the pipe goes to heater core 2 small one it's leaking but very little because the seal isn't really matching 100% so will this join the pipe end to heater core ? Will it seal it ? The pipes do go inside heater core but the rubber or something making it leak there just little drips
    So my plan is put this inside the heater core ring and some around the pipe tip and fit them inside and put some more outside
    Plz let me know if this holds well and it's strong as they claim to be there is not much pressure but pipe might be little hot as its antifreeze going to heater core

      Great question Summer. It is rated to hold up to 620 pounds so that makes you think “yes”. But, in my experience it really depends how much surface contact you have for JB Weld to adhere to.

    If it's your first time trying it, I hope you didn't buy it that way, because it's definitely not the first time that tube has been used. That unit is almost empty. Having said that, I like JB-Weld, although it smells pretty god awful. Might be how all epoxies smell though. Not sure. The only issue I've had with it is when i tried tinting it the other day. The color came out fine, but it's been two days now and still hasn't cured. Overall, still pleased with its performance.

    I don't like the syringe. The instructions weren't clear (to me) and finally I just took the cap off completely. Then, the glue came out faster on one side than the other. By the time I got done, I had glue all over my fingers. Syringe - HATE IT. Next time I need an epoxy, I'll buy one that comes in two separate tubes that you squeeze individually. I don't need a syringe to measure out equal amount especially if the glue doesn't come out of one side no matter how hard you squeeze. Pretty soon one side is empty while the other side is barely oozing out. With two separate tubes, I can get two equal amounts to work with more easily.

    • @FieldGuidetoDIY

      This honestly is only a temporary fix even though carbon fiber pipe isn't cheap I have a ton that only gets to collect dust on racks. All I have right now is the clear weld and looking up its chemical makeup, it seems fine for the antifreeze im using in my old lincoln. I wasn't able to get around today so I had to use what I had.
      I've since learned the clear weld has actually been working out better in my favor as I can slightly flex the joints while fitting everything in before total cure.

    Attach:Snap off cap. Press E-Mixer down and turn clockwise to attach. ????? What?????.
    Ok there is no cap there is a small tiny tap of plastic over the spot where glue would come out. So snap that off? IDK. There is this small black piece of plastic between the plunger sticks that looks like that was to be used as a cap. Ok snapped the little plastic piece off where glue would come out and used razor knife to cut out what resembled a cap maybe from between the plunger sticks. However it does not twist on where i snapped the small plastic piece at the tip of the plunger unit. I tried every which way to twist it on. Its definit no go. So confused I have no clue.
