I had a LOT of fun testing each of the brands and JB Weld is simply amazing! Thanks for all the video suggestions too! Best regards, Todd Flex Glue: amzn.to/2CQI20v JB Weld: amzn.to/3j2Hy6P Loctite: amzn.to/2YnnBj2 Gorilla: amzn.to/2CTqocs
There's nothing better then JB-WELD!!! ANNNND If you want to get technical, all of those glues are two parts, it's not one chemical in those glues, there's different chemicals in each one of those glues, so technically they are all two part systems!!
Have you thought about testing the different variations of JB Weld against each other? They have several different types. It would be nice to know how they stack up against each other. Thanks for the videos. They're great and I appreciate the time you put into them.
@@picklerickdic8955 no they aren't a two part system requires mixing before application the other's dont a two part system has glue as one part and a activator in the other part
Long time J.B. Weld user, but still amazed by the results. One application it's not suited for: muffler repair -- or any continuous exposure to very high heat. Very suited for some rather unorthodox repairs: I used it to seal up a turtle's shell that I apparently ran over with a bush hog and cracked it very severely, so that you could see his insides. By the time I found him, the flies had already blowed his innards, so I had to flush out the maggots with hydrogen peroxide. I always wondered if the repair worked to save his life, until I found him again over 3 years later, very much alive and kicking, J.B. Weld repair still intact. Needless to say, I named him J.B.
This story made me quite happy. I'm always saving animals most people never give a thought about. Like nursing frogs back to health that had been injured by cats or caring for injured birds. It's the little things in life that make life worth living. I'll JB the next turtle I find! lol
@@Gruntsworth -- Good to hear. If you think the story made you happy, imagine me finding him alive over 3 years later. Fortunately it was in an isolated hay field, well off the road so no one could see. But, I'm sure I looked the perfect fool, jumping up and down, whooping and hollering, and dancing all about, all while holding J.B.up in the air waving him around. LOL And to think, all it took was a little turtle to make me feel so happy. Your sentiments are spot on.
Pilot twist [ 1 ] - *He works in railroad industry and use JB Weld for joining them .* Pilot twist [ 2 ] - *He just cut a piece from his neighbor rail road crossing*
Very impressive J,B,weld saved my life once! I was out on my dirt bike riding when I crashed my bike. I was at least 22 miles away from anyone or anything! I'd broke my ankel and cracked 3 ribs. My bike handle bars snapped right off. I had J,B,weld in my tool bag Along with plires and a tire patch kit with my hand pump. There was no way I could walk back to my truck. I J,B, welded my handle bars and within a few hours, I was able to coast down a hill pop it in gear and Ride back to my truck. I was very happy I'd had my J,B,WELD with me that day.....
Didn't save my life, but I did have a heavily modified '87 Honda Trx 250r that blew a hole through the crankcase out in the dunes. I had to tow it back to camp and I had some JB weld in my toolbag and said fuckit. I applied it, let it cure, applied another layer, let it cure again. I shit you not, I kicked the bike over and it ran with no issues ! Stayed together until I sold the bike a year later. JB Weld user for life.
Tip for JB-Weld users: warm up the tubes in some hot water for a few minutes. Results in a significant reduction in viscocity, making it MUCH easier to squeeze out of the tubes.
Back when I was a mechanic there were stories of guys that used JB Weld to fix holes in engine blocks. Seems far-fetched until you use the product, it's nuts.
@@rustyshacklefordspocketsqu8162 I am 100% understand what you're saying. Good on you. My original post was actually a compliment ( I hope you understood it that way), so I thought you misunderstood. Good job on the "creating the reality you wanted to live in". Best regards, Dan
He is using different glue types so the test isnt valid. The contact adhesive Gorilla, The construction adhesive Loctite, the epoxy JB Weld, whatever FlexSeal is. This just tells us what glue type is better not what brand.
From my experience, it's even better than most other epoxies. Specifically talking about clear epoxies because I've never tried any other metal infused epoxy. It even stinks less than half the different kinds of epoxy I've tried.
@@BurningCole963 well sure it doesn't smell good but at least it doesn't fill my house with stench. I only use original jb weld since qwik weld is far weaker.
really depends on what your doing with it... i wouldn't patch a roof with jb weld... i have used flex glue for that and its lasted 2 years.... though i wouldn't flex glue an alternator arm on... or patch an old steel radiator with it....
This guy must have a full month worth of hours into this video, I can’t even imagine all the time for all these tests and all the editing. You never cease to amaze me with all the hard work and all the hours you put in. Truly amazing! All the effort and thought you put into your content!
I had a piece of stone break off my house when I hit it with the lawnmower so I immediately said to myself I bet project farm has a video on the best glue/adhesive and sure enough here I am.
STONE...I ALWAYS USE CEMENT CRACK FIX...IT HOLDS...ALL CONDITIONS...JB WELD IS EXPENSIVE...AND AMOUNT IS SMALL...HOWEVER...CEMENT CRACK REPAIR REALLY HOLDS SLUMP STONE AND OTHER ROCKS CLIPPED BY A TRACTOR OR CAR...
At 115 lbs the glue failed and when the weights fell on the material, that's when it broke. Go back and look again, he shows you where the glue comes apart.
I'd definitely put my stamp of approval on it. Around 25 years ago I broke one of my golf clubs. Mainly because it was to long. So my old man shortened it and put it back together with JB Weld and after years of me using it and even my kids using it some, it is still holding together.
I had an old Escort with a crack in the oil pan that leaked a little bit of oil. I looked up how hot the oil pan gets when the engine is running and how much heat JB Weld can take. According to the internet JB can take the heat so I fixed the crack with it. It never leaked again during the time I owned it.
Nah flex isnt meant for this kind of testing. Mostly marine stuff like advertized. I can bet you that flex wins with water tests, since well.. its designed for that.
I'd say JB Weld should sponsor you but the fact you aren't sponsored is what makes these videos so reliable and enlightening. Easily one of the best channels on youtube.
After a few years of watching Utube I have to say Project Farm is NUMBER ONE IN TESTING it is to bad that corporate America overall has NO ONE on the payroll that does any kind of testing , they make us consumers do their jobs, they just want bottom line profit... Back in the 60's and 70's almost every corporation had a quality control team today they use China and many times the Chinese factories will run an entire order and never do any testing nor do the assemble and test their products to see if it works for its intended purpose??? Yes I worked in China for a few years doing QC for an American company that cared and put thousands of dollars extra profit in their pockets every quarter...
You can see a lot of tight editing went into this production. Your late hours at the computer aren't in vain. This video is well done. Thank you and Merry Christmas, Project Farm! :-)
As a retired engineer, there are times I really wonder where you get your testing criteria for a given type of product, but to be fair, nobody can be an expert in everything. I've come to both appreciate and enjoy your tests. I guess what I'm saying, is that even though you're not an expert in everything, you do a pretty damn good job in creating interesting, informing and fun videos. Thanks and keep up the good work. Cheers, Dave
I grew up in a farming community turned oil exploration community. Farmers are freaking amazing. Successful farmers must be near expert in several diverse domains, ever curious, simultaneously optimize their plans while planning & executing, boundlessly motivated by completing their tasks and projects, interleave and prioritize multiple plans together at any moment as conditions change. While specialization is a great thing, having experience and knowledge in other domains help inform the former. The flexibility, agility of mind, critical thinking skills, and ability to research combined with enthusiastic work ethic is insatiable.
I know this is old as all hell, but do you have any suggestions or questions (mostly regarding specific videos, since his testing criteria changes depending on product type)? I am curious as while I do have a very limited engineering background, it's really more just enough to like, barely understand everything going on in the videos. For the most part, most of the things he tests, while I wouldn't have thought of, make sense. So I'm just wondering if there were something better he could be doing.
I'd like to see a video on duct tape because some of the brand such as gorilla T-Rex duck and 3 m duct tape and any others you might want to put in there be interesting to see I would bet on T-Rex they sell that at Menards
I worked in an adhesive development company back in 1995 and basically we were trying to assemble an entire car excluding the engine with only glue glue adhesives are the future again your controls are amazing love your stuff
Good Ole 91% rubbing alcohol from Walmart. JB Weld was very impressive. :-) My only problem with JB weld, it starts becoming flexible when heated over 200 DEG F. The higher you go, the more rubbery it gets. Great video Todd. Have a very nice Christmas!
Wow, I used to use JB Weld but switched to other products because of the A/B mix issue. You just taught me I need to always have it in my tool kit since there isn't anything else close to it's strength.
If you're worried about the A/B mix, just use the JB Weld in the Mixer Syringe with the Static Mixers. You'll get a perfect mix every time, with no more worrying about a bad mix.
Sal Stotibrigovic yeah jb weld is some good stuff a friend of mine used it to patch a cylinder wall on a off road if vehicle and as far as he knows it’s still on and holding tight
I have used JB Weld for the valves that had broken on several small engines a few times and they all still running today with the same valves I glued together. This was about 25 years back.
Done that to a hole in the oilpan, essentially the same thing. It worked great despite me using too little hardener. It cured with a droopy drop shape but lasted forever. 1980's era ford 302. JB weld baby!
MY friends ninja 300 was backed into and he sealed his valve cover with JB, i know its not a hole in the block but it still saw some heat and oil on it and held up fine
@John F. Bramfeld good question. After using too little hardener once I started following the directions scrupulously and mixing as long and vigorously as I could, the idea being to warm the mix some with friction. I always got good results doing that.
@@crucifyrobinhood , I did the same repair on an oil pan around the drain plug in 86 Mustang . Could never change the oil properly again but it outlasted the life of the car anyway .
I believe you use these videos as an excuse to dream up and create all the tests which is what you really love to do and we all love them too. Keep it up.
You continue to impress~!! I too have used JB Weld for years and have been satisfied each time I use it and will be loyal to it for the rest of my life. For carpenter types of usage I also prefer Loctite Premium especially for anything on the floor. Your energy and perseverance with these tests are very much appreciated~!!
They probably do. I do the best I can to provide accurate and fair testing. I don't accept free products or any sponsorship from any company to avoid any pressure from corporations. My objective is simple: may the best product win! Thanks again!
Project Farm do you get offers all the time. That would be really cool if you did but you were more dedicated to being accurate instead of being pressured by a company who sends you free things
I couldn't help but laugh out loud in astonishment, I've used jb weld forever (like alot of DIYers) and always spoke of what it can do. To see it in action though in a clinical study almost, speaks for itself
Yeah, me too. And I have to say... based on empirical evidence in this video... I suspect I'll be using JB for a lot of other things I "used to use" other products for.
In 1998, My wife and I, on our honeymoon, did a 3500 mile drive around the western US in a Plymouth reliant. Near the town of Moab on a small mountain, I blew out the radiator on the up side. I had a couple of gallon jugs in the car (I have no idea why) and stopped at a stream and filled them up and kept filling the radiator until we got to moab. Once in the parking lot of an auto parts store (that closed in 15 minutes), I saw that the seam between the cooling part and the large end pice (the radiators are tilted 90 degrees from what you normally would see) hat split and, at the top it was at least a 1/4 inch gap. got me some JB Weld. We then went to the grocery store and got a six pack of coke in cans and a pair of scissors. We dumped the coke (we don't drink soda) and used the scissors to cut them into rectangular aluminum sheets. I bent them into an L shape, slathered on a thick coating of JB weld and pressed them into place. We only let it set for two hours because we had to get to the California coast. To be safe, we had the jugs of water and another package of JB weld and the cans. Well, we made it to Mt Shasta before it started to show signs of leakage. The JB Weld had not been given the opportunity to fully set, so I was still pleased with that. It had become like chunks of rubber. I pulled it all off, did it again, and this time it sat overnight. We finished the trip, returned home to seattle, and replaced the radiator, though it never leaked.
My grandpa has reliant k, 1981 he gave it to me with 285K miles on it. I gave it to my cousin 2 years later, he drove it at least another few years. not sure if finally bit it or if he just sold it. Either way it was a reliable ass car ;)
Thanks for the laugh mate. Didn't expect someone to crack a joke on that level here. By the way I will be right back gotta fix that crack with you know what.
I've been bingeing a ton of your videos the last several days and this was one of my favorites. Probably because I've always been a Gorilla fan and was so shocked to see how poorly it performed (I don't mind being proven wrong!). I would love to see an update to this video, either with additional types of adhesives or epoxies, or just with new fun tests!
@@ProjectFarm FWIW I only now watched this vid and stepped through the tile fracture frame by frame. (wasn't willing to read through 13,000 responses to see if nobody else looked) It DID break at the JBWeld joint before it fell, so the joint was at least slightly less strong than the tiles themselves. Still, a great product. And your channel rules!
Auto makers use a bonding adhesive on sheet metal thats as strong as a weld you can buy it at auto body suppliers stores but its very expensive like ninty dollars a quart
I really appreciate your tests. You take such lengths to prep tests and give real world applications. You are so meticulous in all of your tests. What a great service you provide for so many.
JB Weld Is Very Stout By Itself ..... To Make It Double Or Triple In Strength , Cut Up Some Steel Wool With Scissors And Mix It Into The Paste ... It's Like Re-Bar For Concrete .... And It Gets Stupid Strong !! 😆
True story. I met a man named Larry in late 2018 in Encino, NM and we got talking about JB. He tells me a story about how when he was in the military in the 70's he had a filling come loose and was not near dentist/medic. He used JB weld to hold it in place temporarily till he could get it repaired properly. He still had it holding that filling in 2018 going strong.... I was mind blown by it
I once used JB Weld to reattach the power steering lines to my old Saturn SL1. The two bungs for the lines had snapped off the PS rack as one piece. The rack looked like it had 2 holes with a figure 8 of fresh metal around and between them. I drained the system and cleaned everything up then put JB on the mating surfaces. Lined everything up and then built a little volcano of JB around the bungs and the seam at the rack. I let it cure over night, torqued down the lines and filled the system. I was absolutely astounded to find that it didn't leak so much as a drop. I figured what the hell give it a shot. I didn't really expect it to work but trying was a lot cheaper and easier than swapping out the rack. I drove the car for another 3 yrs before I got rid of it.
JB Weld, which is an amine epoxy, is great- JB "Quick" which is polyester based (I think) is not good for much at all and looks similar (packaging) so choose carefully!
@@grexpex1807 I could see that as being a bit confusing! Amine epoxies are the ones that have a part A/part B rather than just a part A and a catalyst, they are typically mixed in ratios of 1:1 to 1:4 and the part B is most often an amine, like triethylene tetramine. They smell like corn chips, as opposed to polyester resin which usually smells like liquid styrene.
Jb is strong it's ridiculous. I don't know how strong their normal 2 bond is. But their Kwik weld 2 bond is really good for arts and crafts and even normal applications to a lot of things.
in another video he made a block of jb weld and carved a cylinder head out of it and it worked perfectly fine on the lawnmower handling a compression measurement of like 110 iirc
you mean flex *commercials* are impressive right? 0 inch pounds... a week to cure was it? What part of that "impressed" you? Not gonna get a cent of my money. ...although I was hoping something would dethrone JB just because that would be a jump in technology and usage applications... but nope.
@@weeral1 No, I never watched any flex commercials, I don't have a bias in that regard. The part that impressed me was how it performs comparably to Loctite, and I had no idea that JB Weld even existed, so you can imagine my reaction when I saw how it just destroys Loctite.
@@slicknick1213 I always figured they were called freeze plugs because they get frozen before insertion. Then hillbillies decided it's for water freezing in the jacket
Darn! Says someone who bought Gorilla a while ago to do a simple repair on some cracked plastic. But have been a JB weld fan for many years, and you were testing it on dissimilar metals(which it's sometimes used on too)..but it is frequently used on the same metal, and in my experience in that case is it is even stronger repair. Good stuff, and hope they never change the formula..and for those that say it burned up in something, they make high heat formulas too. Always good to see you test things for us, and we know it is done with an unbiased eye and intent, which is greatly appreciated.
@@ProjectFarm My friend you didn't wet the surfaces or clamp down the gorilla glue, both are required for it to work. The water activates it, when activated it expands and the pieces need to be clamped together. I'd suggest you try again with the Gorilla Glue. :)
That's because his test isnt accurate when ig comes to the gorilla. Gorilla has a 2 part mix weld like the jb weld. He should've used that gorilla product instead. Then he could've compared them. It wasnt a fare comparison
I was rooting hard for JB. Nice xD. I glued a couple of pennies on the curb in front of my friends house in Jb weld as a kid. I am 24 and they are still there
A lot of the tests some failed at zero and I was just going to write about the lack of... but then the next one was unbelievable in strength. Just shows how valuable the channel is for finding the right thing
For wood, you really should use wood glue :P Seriously, I'd be interested to see how strong JB weld joins wood when not applied to the end grain. End grain is not a good place to apply adhesives without first preparing by sealing.
Liquid Nails for wood, Loctite is also a very good product adhesive ,believe it or not in the twenties and thirties and forties the only adhesive was black tar
Spreading the glue over 100% of the joints and clamping would make many of the glues, if not all of them, stronger. Many of the joints failed as easily as they did because of less than optimum gluing techniques. JB would still be the winner though, of these glues.
JB welded saved me a costly repair on a radiator in a Nissan Altima the upper radiator hose fitting got real brittle and came apart so I got my pocket knife out and carved the rest of the remaining fitting so I could try and slide the hose and clamp back on but as soon as it got enough pressure built up it just popped back off and made a mess so I figured I try one more thing and I put jb weld on it and on the inside of the hose and tightened it down with the hose clap and then then casted where the hose and radiator connected and it never leaked again I had it for three years like that and I gave the car to a friend in need and he left it alone and it’s going 6yrs strong lol with no leaks.
JB weld won't work on wet or dirty surfaces, you have to clean and dry the area to make it work, so if you're JB welding cooling systems you need to drain that area and keep it dry for the curing time.
That was a awesome test 👍👍..iv been a automotive and diesel mechanic for 35 yrs and iv used JB weld on many things and it is amazing on what it can do...iv put it on a cracked engine block that froze and cracked on the outside of the block and after 13 yrs it's still holding and being used daily...the key to it working properly on anything is preparing the surface and letting it cure properly.... great video thanks again...
@@kitecattestecke2303 I use Seal All a lot, and just a silicone adhesive caulk, which they work great for the applications I use them for. Idk about wood, I don't do much with dead tree carcasses lol
The Gorilla polyurethane glue is one of the toughest single part wood glues out there and with a bad fitment beats epoxy as it will expand like a foam and fill the imperfections when you introduce water into the seam. It will also mess up your hands like nothing else because the chemical reaction burns water and you happen to be mostly water.
Great testing! My father introduced me to 2-part epoxies over 50 yrs ago and I believe JB Weld was his favorite. I've used it many times and I'm very rarely disappointed. Thanks for the test!
Here is an idea....I have so many oils in the workshop...chainsaw oil...air tool oil...3/1 machine oil...2 stroke oil...car multi grade oil.... if I had to use just ONE oil....for everything....which would work best?
I thought your tests were well thought out and quite comprehensive; and the results speak for themselves, I appreciate the time and effort you have put in to doing these tests (especially the preparation which is so often skipped). Well done!
Back in the 80's my brother had a crack engine block from him not using antifreeze in the cold season. It cracked at the cooling passage. We used JB Weld and used a halogen spot lamp to cure it. It held up and saved us big $$$
Ive been laughing along watching this video, its so funny watching all the other products market themselves as 'best product ever' and nobody talks about jb weld, then watch jb absolutely destroy everyone else 🤣
I used JB weld to repair the suction fuel line on the top of a 60 gallon truck fuel tank. Originally, this line was installed at the factory using solder. This was supposed to be a temporary repair but lasted well beyond the five years I owned the truck.
Gerald Trice Nice. A buddy of mine his dad back in the day used the JB Weld on a cast iron I think it was a Model A Farmall with a cracked block and it stopped the coolant leak.
I love you dedication to using the tools at your disposal but taking the time and attention detail to make sure the results are meaningful. Loctite seems to be great for medium use, and J.B. Weld for everything else.
We knew that JBW would stand out in the end. And yes, it's probably not fair to compare 1-part chemistries to a 2-part expoxy. But that aside, I did watch the video from start to finish. I would have liked to see the surfaces prep'd to a more uniform level as in a couple of the tests, the "smear-on" techinique left me wondering if the surfaces had been cleaned enough, and the application details matched enough, to provide a uniform test condition. Other than that........ not for commerical-code work, but at my home shop, I keep multiple paks of JBW in the quick-cure and standard cure chemistry. It's my go-to "joiner" for stuff that I think needs to only stay together for the next few weeks........ yet I end up keeping the repaired item for years....... and without a failure or fault in the JB product. BTW... they're still a family run company, and when I called for technical support, a family member answered the general office line. (I was impressed...)

I noticed the uneven application of the Gorilla in a couple of places and thought maybe there was a problem. I still do not like the expansion, but wondered if there was a different formula for each application tested.
Got to say, we've used JB Weld for years, honestly, I'm not a big fan of epoxies, but they do have their place!! As I'm sure you know, there's thousands of different epoxies out there, most are great for one thing, but not much else. I've used JB Weld on leveling a diesel engine block.. last I heard, the truck it was in was still working on a farm in Eastern Washington... JB Weld is the only thing I've found that works worth a 💩💩 💩 on the plastic tanks and frames on chainsaws.... Works well for repairs on livestock water floats... Rubbermaid makes an EXCELLENT float, but has no insert the the garden hose connection, so... When the threads finally stretch out too much to hold, I JB Weld an adapter in to it... Works very well!!! Now, my point... I am awestruck at the results of the plastic pipe test!!!! I figured it would do well... But not that well!!! Thanks for another great video!!! And, Merry Christmas!!!
@@elmerk1 that's pretty impressive!!! I thought filling in a few pits and low spots on a 262 Cummins block was amazing... All it had to do was fill the gaps for the head gaskets... But to have cam lobes hold up.. definitely impressive!!!
Thank you for taking the time to do all the product testing and showing which one preform best. I have used JB weld on many repairs and it seems to last a long time whether it's used on plastic or steel. Thanks again for doing what you do.!!! Happy Holidays.
Most Gorilla glue I've used say you have to apply to a damp surface because the water causes a chemical reaction with the Gorilla glue. Double check the label please.
I was thinking the exact thing. I have used it on bone dry butcher block table tops because it's waterproof, and when you add the moisture, the glue just starts bubbling like crazy. BUT it won't bridge a gap. I did some tests on the original Gorilla glue and when it foams, there is no strength in the the foam, so the parts have to be pretty well perfect fitting to work. I have never used this product so can't say if it's the same chemical makeup but the moisture is definitely needed to activate the original glue. When it didn't stick to the end of the 2x4, I thought that was maybe the problem. The original says there is usually enough in the wood to activate it but I don't trust it and always add some to the wood first.
Great video. I am a HUGE JB weld fan. Just last week, our main inbound water line developed a pinhole leak on a 90 degree copper elbow. It is located near the floor, in our bedroom bathroom. It is also has a shutoff valve next to the elbow. With no time to properly repair the leak, I cleaned the elbow joint (after shutting off the main), with emery cloth and a wire wheel attached to my drill. Applied JB weld to the hole with "crossed" fingers, hoping it would buy me some time. I used a heat gun to warm up the copper before applying the epoxy. After 2 hours I turned the water supply on and, a week later, no leaks. (Yes, I am correctly repairing replacing the pipe). I've used JB on other repairs and I am amazed with this product. I've used all of the products you tested. I'm not impressed with Gorilla Glue. The entire "Flex" line of products is total, complete junk. Phil Swift is an idiot with a huge marketing budget. Locktite has never let me down. Again, great video.
This is the best channel on RUclips. Thanks for what you do. This Loctite reviewed here is construction adhesive. Really good for sticking wallboard to wood, or gluing wood together in large quantities in homebuilding or other construction. JBWeld is amazing for small repairs.
brocktemple25 Wrong Quicksteel only is better (proven) by handling higher temps as far as adhesive properties goes?! Jb weld totally wins....which this video reflects, it's about adhering properties..
This test was spot on, I have found the exact same results. JB Weld is just amazing. I run a sawmill, and one night I ran a stick through my tractor radiator getting a tree out of the woods. I was dead in the water, every repair shop was closed. The only thing I could think of, was to try and seal the hole with JB Weld. It was a hail Mary pass. The hole was about 3/8" . I used the JB Steel Stick that you tested in one of your other videos. It set up in an hour, and sealed completely. I ran the tractor for another 2 days before I got it repaired, and not a drop leaked. As you would say.... "Very impressive!!". JB Weld rules!
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into doing these tests! You're very methodical and precise. You produce results we all can take to the bank! Very well done! :)
Extremely well thought out and informative tests. Well done!! I use JB-Weld myself for various things, but I must say, I didn't expect it to be this good.
@@Gw0wvl It'll take any heat a gearbox can put out. It fails at around 550 or 600 F if I remember correctly. That's hotter than some heat treatments and if your gearbox ever gets that hot your oil will have failed long before the JB Weld will.
@@SpaceCoast_ My biggest success with it was fixing a valve seat that came loose on an Onan 20hp twin. Those air cooled engines run pretty hot, and this was an exhaust seat. Roughed it up, used a center punch to kinda swage it out a bit and give the JB something to hold onto, punched a little in the seat's recessed cup a little (in the head), then JB'd her in there, had to use a little hammer tapping to seat the seat, and last I knew it was still going. Amazing stuff.
I've been using JB Weld for a long time but this test surprised me how good it really is. My first use was on a five speed transmission in my 79 Dodge Arrow. The shift linkage mount broke and I JB Welded it back together. It held for about six months, I redid it and it lasted ten more years till the car was written off. It's a good addition to any car tool kit. Thanks for another great video
I had a LOT of fun testing each of the brands and JB Weld is simply amazing! Thanks for all the video suggestions too! Best regards, Todd

JB Weld is alien technology.
Long time J.B. Weld user, but still amazed by the results. One application it's not suited for: muffler repair -- or any continuous exposure to very high heat. Very suited for some rather unorthodox repairs: I used it to seal up a turtle's shell that I apparently ran over with a bush hog and cracked it very severely, so that you could see his insides. By the time I found him, the flies had already blowed his innards, so I had to flush out the maggots with hydrogen peroxide. I always wondered if the repair worked to save his life, until I found him again over 3 years later, very much alive and kicking, J.B. Weld repair still intact. Needless to say, I named him J.B.
Repairing a turtle's shell--impressive!
Now that's a BIG scar to show off for mating!
This story made me quite happy. I'm always saving animals most people never give a thought about. Like nursing frogs back to health that had been injured by cats or caring for injured birds. It's the little things in life that make life worth living. I'll JB the next turtle I find! lol
@@Gruntsworth -- Good to hear. If you think the story made you happy, imagine me finding him alive over 3 years later. Fortunately it was in an isolated hay field, well off the road so no one could see. But, I'm sure I looked the perfect fool, jumping up and down, whooping and hollering, and dancing all about, all while holding J.B.up in the air waving him around. LOL And to think, all it took was a little turtle to make me feel so happy. Your sentiments are spot on.

I was at least 22 miles away from anyone or anything!
I'd broke my ankel and cracked 3 ribs.
My bike handle bars snapped right off. I had J,B,weld in my tool bag
Along with plires and a tire patch kit with my hand pump.
There was no way I could walk back to my truck.
I J,B, welded my handle bars and within a few hours, I was able to coast down a hill pop it in gear and
Ride back to my truck.

Didn't save my life, but I did have a heavily modified '87 Honda Trx 250r that blew a hole through the crankcase out in the dunes. I had to tow it back to camp and I had some JB weld in my toolbag and said fuckit. I applied it, let it cure, applied another layer, let it cure again. I shit you not, I kicked the bike over and it ran with no issues ! Stayed together until I sold the bike a year later.

When the material fails before the bond,that's pretty impressive.

I'd definitely put my stamp of approval on it. Around 25 years ago I broke one of my golf clubs. Mainly because it was to long. So my old man shortened it and put it back together with JB Weld and after years of me using it and even my kids using it some, it is still holding together.

As a retired engineer, there are times I really wonder where you get your testing criteria for a given type of product, but to be fair, nobody can be an expert in everything. I've come to both appreciate and enjoy your tests.

damn skippy !
I grew up in a farming community turned oil exploration community. Farmers are freaking amazing.
Successful farmers must be near expert in several diverse domains, ever curious, simultaneously optimize their plans while planning & executing, boundlessly motivated by completing their tasks and projects, interleave and prioritize multiple plans together at any moment as conditions change.
While specialization is a great thing, having experience and knowledge in other domains help inform the former. The flexibility, agility of mind, critical thinking skills, and ability to research combined with enthusiastic work ethic is insatiable.
I know this is old as all hell, but do you have any suggestions or questions (mostly regarding specific videos, since his testing criteria changes depending on product type)? I am curious as while I do have a very limited engineering background, it's really more just enough to like, barely understand everything going on in the videos. For the most part, most of the things he tests, while I wouldn't have thought of, make sense. So I'm just wondering if there were something better he could be doing.
MAYBE "EXPERTS" AREN'T NECESSARYLY PRODUCT OF FORMAL SPECIALIZATION BUT OF A CREATIVE MIND !!

Wow, I used to use JB Weld but switched to other products because of the A/B mix issue. You just taught me I need to always have it in my tool kit since there isn't anything else close to it's strength.
Thanks for the feedback.
If you're worried about the A/B mix, just use the JB Weld in the Mixer Syringe with the Static Mixers. You'll get a perfect mix every time, with no more worrying about a bad mix.

Done that to a hole in the oilpan, essentially the same thing. It worked great despite me using too little hardener. It cured with a droopy drop shape but lasted forever. 1980's era ford 302. JB weld baby!
MY friends ninja 300 was backed into and he sealed his valve cover with JB, i know its not a hole in the block but it still saw some heat and oil on it and held up fine
@John F. Bramfeld good question. After using too little hardener once I started following the directions scrupulously and mixing as long and vigorously as I could, the idea being to warm the mix some with friction. I always got good results doing that.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud in astonishment, I've used jb weld forever (like alot of DIYers) and always spoke of what it can do. To see it in action though in a clinical study almost, speaks for itself
Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, me too. And I have to say... based on empirical evidence in this video... I suspect I'll be using JB for a lot of other things I "used to use" other products for.
In 1998, My wife and I, on our honeymoon, did a 3500 mile drive around the western US in a Plymouth reliant. Near the town of Moab on a small mountain, I blew out the radiator on the up side. I had a couple of gallon jugs in the car (I have no idea why) and stopped at a stream and filled them up and kept filling the radiator until we got to moab. Once in the parking lot of an auto parts store (that closed in 15 minutes), I saw that the seam between the cooling part and the large end pice (the radiators are tilted 90 degrees from what you normally would see) hat split and, at the top it was at least a 1/4 inch gap. got me some JB Weld. We then went to the grocery store and got a six pack of coke in cans and a pair of scissors. We dumped the coke (we don't drink soda) and used the scissors to cut them into rectangular aluminum sheets. I bent them into an L shape, slathered on a thick coating of JB weld and pressed them into place.
We only let it set for two hours because we had to get to the California coast. To be safe, we had the jugs of water and another package of JB weld and the cans.
Well, we made it to Mt Shasta before it started to show signs of leakage. The JB Weld had not been given the opportunity to fully set, so I was still pleased with that. It had become like chunks of rubber. I pulled it all off, did it again, and this time it sat overnight. We finished the trip, returned home to seattle, and replaced the radiator, though it never leaked.
Impressive repair!
You should have bought the radiator in Moab. EVERY parts store had/has K-Car radiators in stock!
Good story about JB Weld®, though!
Plymouth Reliant? Now you know why they stopped making that model....
My grandpa has reliant k, 1981 he gave it to me with 285K miles on it. I gave it to my cousin 2 years later, he drove it at least another few years. not sure if finally bit it or if he just sold it. Either way it was a reliable ass car ;)

Excellent idea. I'll try that sometime.
Fiber reinforcement, essentially. I'll have to try it.
I have tried that before, it is insane how much stronger it is. Best part is it can still be drilled and tapped.
True story. I met a man named Larry in late 2018 in Encino, NM and we got talking about JB. He tells me a story about how when he was in the military in the 70's he had a filling come loose and was not near dentist/medic. He used JB weld to hold it in place temporarily till he could get it repaired properly. He still had it holding that filling in 2018 going strong.... I was mind blown by it
Thanks for sharing the story.
He probably lied. That tooth is probably rotten from the shoddy re-fitment when he glued the filling back.

I once used JB Weld to reattach the power steering lines to my old Saturn SL1. The two bungs for the lines had snapped off the PS rack as one piece. The rack looked like it had 2 holes with a figure 8 of fresh metal around and between them.
I drained the system and cleaned everything up then put JB on the mating surfaces. Lined everything up and then built a little volcano of JB around the bungs and the seam at the rack. I let it cure over night, torqued down the lines and filled the system. I was absolutely astounded to find that it didn't leak so much as a drop. I figured what the hell give it a shot. I didn't really expect it to work but trying was a lot cheaper and easier than swapping out the rack. I drove the car for another 3 yrs before I got rid of it.
Impressive repair!

A lot of the tests some failed at zero and I was just going to write about the lack of... but then the next one was unbelievable in strength. Just shows how valuable the channel is for finding the right thing
Thanks!

That's a lot of damage :P

You could actually pull that off if you correctly use .p.c.7 epoxy ! Everything else is inferior!
Your channel is one of the most useful on RUclips, thank you for the time and effort that goes into these videos. Thank you 👍👍
You are welcome!
Sooo JB weld for everything exept wood, gotcha.
Thank you
For wood, you really should use wood glue :P Seriously, I'd be interested to see how strong JB weld joins wood when not applied to the end grain. End grain is not a good place to apply adhesives without first preparing by sealing.
Liquid Nails for wood, Loctite is also a very good product adhesive ,believe it or not in the twenties and thirties and forties the only adhesive was black tar
For a long time there was just Elmers Glue also
Spreading the glue over 100% of the joints and clamping would make many of the glues, if not all of them, stronger. Many of the joints failed as easily as they did because of less than optimum gluing techniques. JB would still be the winner though, of these glues.
JB welded saved me a costly repair on a radiator in a Nissan Altima the upper radiator hose fitting got real brittle and came apart so I got my pocket knife out and carved the rest of the remaining fitting so I could try and slide the hose and clamp back on but as soon as it got enough pressure built up it just popped back off and made a mess so I figured I try one more thing and I put jb weld on it and on the inside of the hose and tightened it down with the hose clap and then then casted where the hose and radiator connected and it never leaked again I had it for three years like that and I gave the car to a friend in need and he left it alone and it’s going 6yrs strong lol with no leaks.
Impressive repair!
Didn't work on my radiator, only very temporarily.
@@joepatrick477 Preparation is everything, when using adhesives.
JB weld won't work on wet or dirty surfaces, you have to clean and dry the area to make it work, so if you're JB welding cooling systems you need to drain that area and keep it dry for the curing time.
I laughed every single time he said “that’s a lot of damage”
I had a lot of fun with this video!
Cracked me up every time. Should’ve started the video with “project farm here!”
Tony K “Project farm here with JB Weld” 😂
I laughed a while in the brick test :)
So, 3 times.
That was a awesome test 👍👍..iv been a automotive and diesel mechanic for 35 yrs and iv used JB weld on many things and it is amazing on what it can do...iv put it on a cracked engine block that froze and cracked on the outside of the block and after 13 yrs it's still holding and being used daily...the key to it working properly on anything is preparing the surface and letting it cure properly.... great video thanks again...
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
None of the Gorilla products (tape is ok) have never impressed me. Great work as usual. Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The glue is kind of ok, very good for porous stuff like broken wood on toys
@@kitecattestecke2303 I use Seal All a lot, and just a silicone adhesive caulk, which they work great for the applications I use them for. Idk about wood, I don't do much with dead tree carcasses lol
The Gorilla polyurethane glue is one of the toughest single part wood glues out there and with a bad fitment beats epoxy as it will expand like a foam and fill the imperfections when you introduce water into the seam. It will also mess up your hands like nothing else because the chemical reaction burns water and you happen to be mostly water.
I used Gorilla wood glue on a Cerwin-Vega speaker restoration project, and nearly 6 years later still good as new!
Great testing! My father introduced me to 2-part epoxies over 50 yrs ago and I believe JB Weld was his favorite. I've used it many times and I'm very rarely disappointed. Thanks for the test!
JB has lots of different glues. Which one is best according to your experience?
Here is an idea....I have so many oils in the workshop...chainsaw oil...air tool oil...3/1 machine oil...2 stroke oil...car multi grade oil.... if I had to use just ONE oil....for everything....which would work best?
Thanks for the video idea!
(Spoiler alert) -- Marvel Mystery Oil.
The right one.
Good idea. ANY oil is better than no oil.
Different applications, different oil.
I thought your tests were well thought out and quite comprehensive; and the results speak for themselves, I appreciate the time and effort you have put in to doing these tests (especially the preparation which is so often skipped).
Well done!
Thanks!
Back in the 80's my brother had a crack engine block from him not using antifreeze in the cold season. It cracked at the cooling passage. We used JB Weld and used a halogen spot lamp to cure it. It held up and saved us big $$$
Ive been laughing along watching this video, its so funny watching all the other products market themselves as 'best product ever' and nobody talks about jb weld, then watch jb absolutely destroy everyone else 🤣
Great point! Thank you
"For The Toughest Jobs on Planet Earth" Yeah right Gorilla Glue
I mean, real workers talk about jb weld.. thats all the marketing it needs in my mind lol
JB Weld has always performed for me, I love the stuff. Locktite 8X, is stronger than the 3X, and it too has worked excellent for me.
JB Weld is an epoxy. Gorilla Glue also make epoxy as do many other companies.
I used JB weld to repair the suction fuel line on the top of a 60 gallon truck fuel tank. Originally, this line was installed at the factory using solder. This was supposed to be a temporary repair but lasted well beyond the five years I owned the truck.
Impressive repair!
Temporary fixes are permanent solutions
The ReeferMadness That is until they break again
@@skonky that's when you really fix it

Nice. A buddy of mine his dad back in the day used the JB Weld on a cast iron I think it was a Model A Farmall with a cracked block and it stopped the coolant leak.
I love you dedication to using the tools at your disposal but taking the time and attention detail to make sure the results are meaningful. Loctite seems to be great for medium use, and J.B. Weld for everything else.
Thanks!
JB May be two part system but all those others advertise as a competitor in at least in as much as they are intended to work on the same materials.
Yes, that's exactly my point. Thank you!!!
We knew that JBW would stand out in the end. And yes, it's probably not fair to compare 1-part chemistries to a 2-part expoxy. But that aside, I did watch the video from start to finish. I would have liked to see the surfaces prep'd to a more uniform level as in a couple of the tests, the "smear-on" techinique left me wondering if the surfaces had been cleaned enough, and the application details matched enough, to provide a uniform test condition. Other than that........ not for commerical-code work, but at my home shop, I keep multiple paks of JBW in the quick-cure and standard cure chemistry. It's my go-to "joiner" for stuff that I think needs to only stay together for the next few weeks........ yet I end up keeping the repaired item for years....... and without a failure or fault in the JB product. BTW... they're still a family run company, and when I called for technical support, a family member answered the general office line. (I was impressed...)
Thank you!
JB Products still a "family owned" business...I did that know that until now...Thanks for the info Al Sterling...

I noticed the uneven application of the Gorilla in a couple of places and thought maybe there was a problem. I still do not like the expansion, but wondered if there was a different formula for each application tested.
Would regular formula of jb weld be sufficient to fix an exhaust leak on a 150cc scooter? Or should i get try the extreme heat? Thanks in advanced.
Stop writing novels pal..... Shut up!
Got to say, we've used JB Weld for years, honestly, I'm not a big fan of epoxies, but they do have their place!! As I'm sure you know, there's thousands of different epoxies out there, most are great for one thing, but not much else.
I've used JB Weld on leveling a diesel engine block.. last I heard, the truck it was in was still working on a farm in Eastern Washington...
JB Weld is the only thing I've found that works worth a 💩💩 💩 on the plastic tanks and frames on chainsaws....
Works well for repairs on livestock water floats... Rubbermaid makes an EXCELLENT float, but has no insert the the garden hose connection, so... When the threads finally stretch out too much to hold, I JB Weld an adapter in to it...
Works very well!!!
Now, my point... I am awestruck at the results of the plastic pipe test!!!! I figured it would do well... But not that well!!!
Thanks for another great video!!!
And, Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Yea Ed, that plastic pipe test had me saying "no way!"
Great video. Have you made a video of different products cleaning oil stains off a concrete shop floor?
I had a friend who used JB weld to build up worn cam journals in a motorcycle engine and it actually ran for a few years after that.
@@elmerk1 that's pretty impressive!!!
I thought filling in a few pits and low spots on a 262 Cummins block was amazing... All it had to do was fill the gaps for the head gaskets... But to have cam lobes hold up.. definitely impressive!!!
Thank you for taking the time to do all the product testing and showing which one preform best. I have used JB weld on many repairs and it seems to last a long time whether it's used on plastic or steel. Thanks again for doing what you do.!!! Happy Holidays.
Thanks and you are welcome! Happy Holidays!

He's the uncle we never had!
Most Gorilla glue I've used say you have to apply to a damp surface because the water causes a chemical reaction with the Gorilla glue. Double check the label please.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
I was thinking the exact thing. I have used it on bone dry butcher block table tops because it's waterproof, and when you add the moisture, the glue just starts bubbling like crazy. BUT it won't bridge a gap. I did some tests on the original Gorilla glue and when it foams, there is no strength in the the foam, so the parts have to be pretty well perfect fitting to work. I have never used this product so can't say if it's the same chemical makeup but the moisture is definitely needed to activate the original glue. When it didn't stick to the end of the 2x4, I thought that was maybe the problem. The original says there is usually enough in the wood to activate it but I don't trust it and always add some to the wood first.
@@qoph1988 for wood = elmers waterproof wood glue. The board will break before the joint will.
That would really only make a difference with wood. You're not going to apply glue to damp metal

My word, you put an amazing amount of work into these tests, always impressed.
Thanks so much!
Great video. I am a HUGE JB weld fan. Just last week, our main inbound water line developed a pinhole leak on a 90 degree copper elbow. It is located near the floor, in our bedroom bathroom. It is also has a shutoff valve next to the elbow. With no time to properly repair the leak, I cleaned the elbow joint (after shutting off the main), with emery cloth and a wire wheel attached to my drill. Applied JB weld to the hole with "crossed" fingers, hoping it would buy me some time. I used a heat gun to warm up the copper before applying the epoxy. After 2 hours I turned the water supply on and, a week later, no leaks. (Yes, I am correctly repairing replacing the pipe). I've used JB on other repairs and I am amazed with this product.
I've used all of the products you tested. I'm not impressed with Gorilla Glue.
The entire "Flex" line of products is total, complete junk. Phil Swift is an idiot with a huge marketing budget.
Locktite has never let me down.
Again, great video.
Thank you!
This is the best channel on RUclips. Thanks for what you do. This Loctite reviewed here is construction adhesive. Really good for sticking wallboard to wood, or gluing wood together in large quantities in homebuilding or other construction. JBWeld is amazing for small repairs.
Awesome, thank you!
JB weld is in a league of its own
Thank you!
JB weld pulled away on a plstic joint with a nylon reinforcing strap so I repared it with a build of superglue and baking soda. Great fix.
brocktemple25 Wrong Quicksteel only is better (proven) by handling higher temps as far as adhesive properties goes?! Jb weld totally wins....which this video reflects, it's about adhering properties..
Absolutely!
The original, yep.
This test was spot on, I have found the exact same results. JB Weld is just amazing. I run a sawmill, and one night I ran a stick through my tractor radiator getting a tree out of the woods. I was dead in the water, every repair shop was closed. The only thing I could think of, was to try and seal the hole with JB Weld. It was a hail Mary pass. The hole was about 3/8" . I used the JB Steel Stick that you tested in one of your other videos. It set up in an hour, and sealed completely. I ran the tractor for another 2 days before I got it repaired, and not a drop leaked. As you would say.... "Very impressive!!". JB Weld rules!
Thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into doing these tests!
You're very methodical and precise. You produce results we all can take to the bank!
Very well done! :)
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm :)
Extremely well thought out and informative tests. Well done!!
I use JB-Weld myself for various things, but I must say, I didn't expect it to be this good.
Thank you!
I’ve tried everything out there and original JB Weld is the best on almost any material and, crucially, it works the best in high heat applications.
Thank you!
What sort of heat does it take ... I've a small crack in a gearbox I'm looking to repair ...
@@Gw0wvl It'll take any heat a gearbox can put out. It fails at around 550 or 600 F if I remember correctly. That's hotter than some heat treatments and if your gearbox ever gets that hot your oil will have failed long before the JB Weld will.
Fixed many of old radiators with it and it was a long time fix
@@SpaceCoast_ My biggest success with it was fixing a valve seat that came loose on an Onan 20hp twin. Those air cooled engines run pretty hot, and this was an exhaust seat. Roughed it up, used a center punch to kinda swage it out a bit and give the JB something to hold onto, punched a little in the seat's recessed cup a little (in the head), then JB'd her in there, had to use a little hammer tapping to seat the seat, and last I knew it was still going. Amazing stuff.
I've been using JB Weld for a long time but this test surprised me how good it really is. My first use was on a five speed transmission in my 79 Dodge Arrow. The shift linkage mount broke and I JB Welded it back together. It held for about six months, I redid it and it lasted ten more years till the car was written off. It's a good addition to any car tool kit.
Thanks for another great video
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
How about “can you use JB weld instead of wheel lug nuts?”
Garage 54 has probably already done it.
Because you need to be able to take the wheel off eventually.
