The weight on top is what did it. It squeezed out all the weld in the middle. It’s actually better to just give it a light press (weight) to hold it down.
Yeah.... But I've tested this on other stuff.. and it failed on the easy crap too.
I wish I would've taken it apart. Since this time I've restored it on the channel Pro Level Restoration and it's really no big deal to rip it apart, WELD it and get it back to to right.
Peace
And you needed to clean and prep the area
I find the JB Weld two part putty works better. Knead it until the two colors turn to dark gray then apply it. Hardens pretty quick then let sit for 24 hours
Ty for the 411, JB Weld off the list. I use Gorilla Glue often but don't think it would hold up either. Guess new replacement part if could find might be best long term fix but might be a bigger job than wanted replacing. Welder sounds good and quick too.
I'm a big fan of Gorilla Glue and it hasn't failed me yet. I just used it on a rear-view mirror and it's working great so far.
JB Weld would probably work on something that doesn't have stress on it.... like a sealer for a pipe or something.... but the name of the crap is misleading.
Vibration is the culprit here, I believe strongly that JB weld is not your long term solution, although its a darn fine epoxy. Your little Craftsman compressor looks to be a little beauty and they don't make 'em like that no more so fabricate a small metal plate or have it welded and then mount it on thick rubber washers to help minimise vibration... take good care of that little work horse!!
Indeed... Vibration is the root of the problem.
I did stop most of the vibration before I ran the review and when I got it welded up all the vibration stopped.
I'm going to follow your lead and completely restore this old work-horse. It's been good to me.
Peace.
You could have used a Dremel with a small grinder wheel and made vertical slots on both sides and on both sides of the break then filled the slots with the JB weld and it would hold for years.
If jb weld can work on a car muffler it can work on anything.
The mount should of been cleaned prior to applying JB Weld. Always best to scuff break with sand paper to get to clean bare metal. Then I wipe down with isopropyl alcohol to remove any oils. Allow to dry, then apply JB Weld, clamp, wait 24hrs.
Thank Mr or Mrs Glue-pro.
I will call you if I need you to glue something.
JD Weld
A wait of 48 hours gives the best results, but spot on. Without doing all those steps it will not work.
You need to gloop it on thick, in otherwoods use up the whole tube on that, also do not put any in the break just over the top, it binds both pieces superficially, hope this helps
It worked for me 100% on my broken Thule Cargo Carrier Hinge.
Good!
Peace
I'm at the 3 minute 11 second Mark into this video and I hope the JB works out for you I just prepared a table also with JB weld but I put a threaded rod through it and hopefully it'll work. Edit finished the video I was surprised at the quick failure.
You should be fine with your table. This motor mount is a tuff job for any adhesive because of the constant vibration and moving parts.
@@JohnDisque Yes sir thank you
What psi was your JB Weld. I would have drilled a hole for a bolt and tapped the matching threads. I would have still justed JB Weld as you did but also run my new bolt in. Should have been able to use it right away afterwards and it should hold for years to come.
44.52947892 psi.
Thanks for you suggestion.
I got 2 motor mounts broken on my motorcycle on the bottom of the engine. Was thinking about jb weld bc I don't have the time or money to take it to. Machine shop. What did u do to end up fixing it?
My buddy came over with a mig-welder and fixed it in about 2 minutes.
In your case.... if you can't just replace the mounts - a good welder can do it but I stress "good" because I've seen some really bad weld-jobs and you need to get your job as straight as humanly possible.
These type of repairs work best if you drill a small hole (1/4" or smaller) in each piece and use a flat piece of steel or aluminum to connect them with a couple of bolts and nuts.
Good tip.
I'll remember that.
Yes that would actually work a lot better
Adhesive joints don't work well in tension. So a simple butt joint is unlikely to hold up for very long. You'd probably have better luck with a couple of butt straps cut out of sheet steel bonded either side . That way you're taking advantage of the much better shear strength of an adhesive joint.
The dart in your hand is a nice touch
Thanks.
It’s all in the prep mate. Sand down the area and clean real good. No oil or grease deposits.
When mixing make sure you mix well. And correct amounts.
With yours you should of really built that up around the area that was weak. It wasn’t enough . But good try .
👍
Thanks for the tips!
Take a piece of plumber's tape bend it 90° take that 10 mm case stud off which has a nut on the other end of the engine put that through the hole in the plumbers tape of the washer bolt it back down and bolt the other end to the top of your compressor?
@@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965 I love JB Weld Experts.
Come here and get ya some!
Looks like the middle of the motor was fouling on the top of the tank causing it to pull the motor away from the bracket. You would need spacers on both sides
the only way for jb weld to work is to leave a big amount of the glue on the outside right now I am convinced that is the only way it works as advertised, I have had some issues with jb weld I am currently still experiencing issues, what I have found is that if you dont care for how the piece looks like, meaning you dont care for aesthetics this works to some extent but if your application needs to be clean and keep the piece aesthetics then this in most cases wont work, right now I got to this video as I am on the search for structural epoxy resins that could glue aluminum to aluminum as my motorcycle fell and the thread piece in the radial master cylinder where the rear view mirror goes broke off and am trying to see if I could spare me some $$$ by using epoxy or whatever I may find.
a little recap on what I did so far:
I prepared the piece,
drilled some holes on both sides where it broke
with the dremel made some gaps to allow for better adhesion and allow for sort of a ring of glue to be formed on the inside as I carved the pieces,
when broken piece is seated they fit precisely and on the inside its hollow the idea is to fill with jb for more strength,
applied a generous amount of jb weld and made sure it went all the way in into the wholes and gaps on both surfaces ( with a metal wire made sure the jb weld went inside the gaps and wholes)
seated the piece and pushed it manually to allow for the excess to drip out.
removed any excess from the outside with some scott shop towel, and with a clamp made sure the piece was strongly secured into place to allow for a stronger adhesion,
fast forward 24+ hours I tried screwing back the mirror and even though jb weld stick to the aluminum the epoxy "monolith" that hardened inside the piece cracked and broke without even applying great force to the piece, wasnt even screwed all the way in before it cracked..
if anyone has an idea on how I can glue the piece I am open to suggestions.
I just bought JB Weld for my diy stuffs. Your video makes me wonder if this glue will work well. Coming from Asia theres possibility I bought fake JB weld. I have been using 3M CA40H, its a great glue but I dont see anyone talking about it on youtube. Anyway, great video!
Recently tried the jb clear weld fastening a plastic battery box holder to inside of metal detector thats aluminum, soon as I broken tab off the product it had the worst smell & just doesnt go away at all & if you get it on your fingers the smell will not be able to come off for days even using nail polish goo gone the smell will disappear days later by wearing away using your hands on doing things round the house, I think the bonding may have held up so far but again the smell on the repaired area is not going away at all it may be there for long long time.. If I ever use any epoxy glue again for any other repairs down the road it sure wont be any jb product no matter how well it works.. I dont understand why the manufacture doesnt disclose this on their products of the horrible smell it releases once opened & after applying the epoxy the smell can make you sick..
If it worked I'd welcome the odor but it doesn't. I'd be surprised if it clued two pieces of cardboard together. If there's any kind of stress or vibration on what you're trying to repair you can forget it...., but that's not unique to J-B... If the part is metal you should weld it or replace it.
Peace
Maybe it didn't work because you should have left a small gap between the two surfaces instead of forcing them together?
You're the only person to come up with a legit reason why IT MIGHT NOT have worked and I actually considered this at some point. I don't know and even if that's the case it should've at-least worked a little bit.
Even though it didnt work out for you, thanks for the video.
You're welcome. Thanks for your time.
It should has metal plates glues to the broad sides as well, like wrapping sticks around a broken leg with tapes or ropes, so gluing more metallic plates to the broken joints' broad sides, apply more of the glues, more layers of metallic plates glues around the broken joint areas, it's about gluing up more contact areas. So it's like applying more "tapes" on the front and back sides of the broad sides, the "tapes" are smaller metal plates or fragments, glue steel rods (nail thickness) on top of the metal plates as well, so bundle it up like a grenade - combining of glues, plates, glues, plates, nails, rods, glues, so it's like a bird nest! But since you are using up so much of the glue, why not try pay for gas, electric welding or laser welding ?
6 packs of the glues costing $120 NZD ($21 NZD each pack), at a strength of 3960 PSI.
Jb weld only works for me when I only use it on none moving parts or abject
Yeah, I can see it working on something with no stress or pressure...., but I think the name is very misleading.
@@JohnDisque the is very true about the name jb weld
The thing is, it's not glue. It's more like a very strong filler and should be used as such.
I used jb weld to put my hood ordement on my jaguar xj
Did you rough up the surface before apply. It usually needs something rough to grab onto
No, but I threatened it and pistol-whipped it like Kyle Rittenhouse. Then I swore I'd replace it with Elmers glue if it didn't work.
@@JohnDisque 🤣🤣🤣
I think youd be better taking the whole thing off, drilling through the broken parts taped together, tapping a thread in one of the parts & putting a counter sunk grub screw or machine screw in after you added the epoxy. That way its mechanically held as well as glued...the epoxy should stop it vibrating apart? Just an idea.. :|
I got it welded and it's been fine ever since. If it couldn't be welded I would've done something similar to what you suggest here or I would've purchased a whole mount if they're available.
Either way I wanted to see if this crap worked.
@@JohnDisque Interesting video... been wondering myself what you can use that stuff for. Guess its better just as a filler..
I'm guessing it would have worked If you first bolted the compressor down and then use JB weld to fill the crack and put a lot more JB weld on the outside of the crack... I would give it two days to cure....
You got one part right - you're guessing. I used the left-over garbage to test it on less strenuous things and it failed on that too.
This garbage is worthless.
The trick is to make sure you mix lots of cigarette ashes and cotton fibers into the mix, without adding any kind of mechanical support to the fractured parts.
From a guy with 3 subs, no content and is watching a video on how to use glue because he can't swing a hammer or turn a wrench.
Good luck to you and thank you for your time.
@JohnDisque you killed him dude 😂
@@FirstName-nf4fx You can't believe how hard life has been for me for the last three months have been, what with all the crying and therapy. At least i know how to use JB Weld.
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
I'd give it a whirl but I'm a gambler. I can't tell you for sure it's going to work and I can't tell you it isn't going to work but you're not dealing with all this vibration so the odds are with you.
Clean it up real good with alcohol and give it a shot.
Peace
@@JohnDisque I did worked great and it's like a rock no antifreeze leak I let it dry for 8 hours and when I drove the car for some reason made it even harder cause the pipes get hot so not sure if that cured it even more
I went bought some more and I added more on top and around for extra security before I close the the parts
I am keeping it open the area driving the car for some days before I put rest of the parts in
But amazing products I didn't think would work wasn't sure but when it cures it's like concrete super hard I couldn't even scratch it with screw driver
@@JohnDisque thanks for the reply
You would be better off drilling a hole in the top section and another in the bottom section then use baling wire or a pull tie to secure it together.
I would've been better off Scotch-taping it.
or a bracket with small bolts if your going to drill holes
Mounted a modified front fork on my scooter with only JB weld because I have no welding equipment. Now I'm kinda worried...🙃
Yeah - I don't blame you. Just pay a welder $20 to take care of it.... or practice your welding and do it yourself. It's a great skill to have.
Peace
He should have turned compressor upside down and affixed the broken piece on from the top. THAT would have worked. The pressure on the whole unit dissipated over both mounts. Not enough on the side needing repair!!
CAUTION: my JB weld DID NOT CURE after 24hrs !!!! never had a glue do this to me EVER Going back to 5 min epoxy
Have to degrease and clean surface first. Wire brush then rubbing alcohol.
Going by these comments.... I have to do a lot of things that are found no where near the instructions.
I followed the instructions to a T and should've just used Elmer's Glue... It couldn't do much worse.
LOL.
The glue-experts,....... searching for a video on if this nasty crap works.
@@JohnDisque maybe you should do a video?
It does say to clean the area and then use sand paper to scuff the area lmao
The part was clean forged aluminum. I've read more excuses for this garbage not working than I ever thought was possible.
People say they want the truth but they can't handle it. This shit is virtually useless.
I fix everything the exact same way... With a cigarette in the other hand.
OK! I have a cookie for you!
+1 for the cig lol. I think this product works on smaller things but for an object like this I would use a welder.
What's it work on? I tried it on a sneaker (rubber on rubber) and it failed on that too. I also used it to block water from leaking from copper tubing so I could bend it into a coil.... It failed on that too.
You didn’t do anything wrong cause you ain’t the only one saying that I seen other videos where is glue just don’t work at least on the application that you applied to the camera speak for the video
Try Bondic
I'll give it a try. Thanks for the steer.
Should of plated the joint with the 2 pack glue.
I should've used masking tape. It couldn't do any worse.
Should *HAVE."
Anything else I should know?
Doesn't look like you used enough by looks it was a smear... Compared to welding is differnce is the globs it has so suggest globbing it on there
This product is not only bad- it's obscenely-bad and all you glue-wizards of RUclips aren't going to change that.
Why are you here, Mr glue-wizard?
U did it wrong I got a spare lawn mower with a cracked block hit it with old JB she still runs today it's what I let my grandson ride around in the field witj
I just can't get anything by the Glue Patrol.
You didn't apply adhesive to BOTH pieces. And you should apply sufficient amounts to make it ooze out. Applying it and pressing it together as opposed to just pressing result in two different adhesive distributions in the crack. Also, alignment is key and the most important part of the process. I suspect that could have been more of the problem. The spacer was a good idea but without the other two techniques it was doomed. As someone mentioned, overweighting could be a contributing problem but if it was aligned and pressed together correctly with a sufficient volume of adhesive, overweighting would not have made much of a difference.
I've generally had good luck with it, tho I've never used it for something like this and I really can't think of any clear reason why it failed.
I have noticed tho, from past experience JB doesn't work all that well in humid environments (tho isn't applicable to this) but over time it seems to soften up if outdoors in humidity. If I had to guess maybe it wasn't clean enough for a good bond or maybe not enough pressure but beyond that I have know clue but from the video the bottom mount looks fairly flat without any ridges tho it might not have been that way in person.
Glues generally do a better job on rougher surfaces just more to hold on to. I did see the shim tho under it to shorten the gap, that seems like a good idea, maybe throw a washer under it as well.
You can try to drill a hole a little under and above the crack (tho I may crack again in the process) and just fasten it down with a metal zip tie.
Might not look the best but hey function over form.
Don't forget to smoke.
Oh - I won't. I'm a second-class citizen who's unfit to live in today's society.
@@JohnDisque ha!
Maybe the steelstix would have done a better job.
I think Elmers Glue would've done a better job. LOL
It couldn't be any WORSE.
JB weld works better on smooth surface andclearly those are rusty metals. You didn't even bother cleaning the joints. It works on my bike frame.
The metal is cast aluminum, which doesn't rust and clearly you're pulling things out of your ass in an effort to be a glue-expert.
Why does such a glue expert as yourself search for videos on if a glue works?
Why not just weld it together?
Because I wanted to make this video and I'm not a welder. Although a friend who is a welder did end up welding it for me.
I wanted to see if this shit worked.
Sand down the area and wipe with degreaser. Do proper prep.
Thats it.
JB has to be used the right way
And you're watching this video because?
@@zenitzenit9053 Oh look --- The JB Weld experts are here watching a video on does this shit work.
You like it? You buy it.
Dude put it on like he was superglueing a toy or sumn😂
Did a proper prep job and even embedded fibers in the JB Weld to make it stronger. It lasted 6 or 7 full send runs down my local jump line before it broke.
You didn't wire brush any debris off both edges of the break. It also might have worked better if you unbolted both sides, propped it up and fit the (brushed) broken pieces that way and applied a liberal amount to both sides of the break. Give it a few minutes then just unprop and set it down gently for 24hrs. The weight of the compressor should've been enough.
If possible, turn the machine over so there's no weight -- or gravity -- on that broken piece.
and clean it properly with 100% alcohol
you should have physically welded the metal or make a new piece
Well - I did. I got my buddy to mig-weld it, but I wanted to test this crap first.
@@JohnDisque nothing beats doingit right the first time :-) the manufacturer used cheap made metal casting for the footings on that. shoul dhave used solid metal or solid aluminum. as for fixing this.. even if you weld it.. its junk metal anyway.. i say make new brackets
What?
Who?
That fckng ciggs had me 😂 cuz mine has NorCal bud in it watching ...haw haw fckng haw.decent vid dude.😅
Plate of steel and two bolts
Big ol steak and two loaded taters.
Should mix glass fibres with it
Oh ---- I didn't read this on the instructions.
Is that what people do when they want this to work?
Should just use bubble-gum and prayer.
@@JohnDisque It would give it extra binding strength
OH -- The secret is in the glass fibers..... zzzzzzz. LOL
@@JohnDisque The glass fibres world give it extra strength as in glass fibres and resin = fibreglass as in boats, car body kits etc. DOH! Eyes roll
@@ArgosWarrior What's a glue expert like you doing in a place like this?
That didn’t look very even. I usually squeeze both tubes together at the same time
Thank you very much Mr. Squeezy-glue. You have been of great value to RUclips.
@@JohnDisque the guy that failed is a prick to anyone with advice that has had success.
Why is he talkin like that
So trolls come around asking that and he gets more views.
Why do you only have 300 subs and don't even have a channel picture?
This is the wrong repair to use it on... after all it's just a soft plastic that cures to form a hard brittle plastic. From watching a few of these videos I think the "weld" in the name is misleading, making people think they can use a tiny amount to join metal and it will hold in such a high stress environment.
Just paint it black. That should do the trick ;)
LOL I will try that! I mean - it couldn't be any worse.
@@JohnDisque You could also try drilling a hole through both parts and bolting a metal plate to it on both sides. Then paint it black. I don't know. It looks terminal ;)
Surface prep for the win!
Use Elmers Glue and Scotch tape. It works better, but thanks for your valuable input. I should've called on all you J-B Weld experts who watch videos to see if this crap works.
Sir can you send me in country nepal
What?
Of course it not going to work if you put in on like that 🙄🙄
Por supuesto que no. La próxima vez vendré a ti para hacer el pegamento.
Wonder if it would glue my annoying girlfriends mouth shut?
Probably not. In fact I would bet every on it failing. In fact.... there is nothing that works for your dilemma except chocolate. Just feed her lots of chocolate.
Peace
Are you talking from your bed
Ewwwwww.... Dude - you're watching the wrong video.
you applied the epoxy to a dirty surface, two actually, I saw no clean or prep. May as well been gluing mud clots together. If you actually welded it together do you think the surface would have been prepared first?
OK
Didnt mix right . didn't put enough on it
Why is there so many glue-experts on RUclips watching videos to see if this crap works?
You didn't clean the joints mate. A wire brush or sandpaper + some elbow grease and finish up with a wipe down with a clean rag and degreaser.
Oh - thank you Lady Glue Expert person. You are the glue-wizard of The Tube of You.
Not surprised. They may put the word "weld" in the product name, but it's not that capable. I used it years ago to seal a low pressure pipe. It worked okay for that.
What might work is drill some holes through both sides of the mount and span the gap with a bracket. (Just a piece of steel with some holes.)
I was actually considering what you're suggesting with a bracket.
I think it might work on something with no pressure or movement, such as a secure tailpipe, but if there's any stress on the part you can forget it..
Peace.
Not ur fault. JB weld is junk
Thank you! I swear this video has attracted every JB Weld employee alive to come and troll me and get me to delete this video. No one wanted this crap to work more than me. And then I used it to glue the soul of a boot (rubber on rubber) and it didn't work on that either.
People make videos and lie to their teeth to people so they can include affiliate links and make money off each sale. I refuse to do that when the product sucks. I'm going to tell people the truth and if it's great I'll rave about it.
Anyway - I'm glad there's some people that can still handle the truth.
Peace
not even close to proper useage
Are you the JB Weld expert watching videos to see if this garbage works?
But I think it’s shit lol
It is shit. Since this video I tried it on other easy stuff and it failed with that too.
DIG THE CIG!!!!
Who cares if he smokes thats something they call freedom, the anti smokers maffia seem to have no issues with alcohol while alcohol is actually a drug and kills way more than cigs. We call those kind of people hypocrites, just shut the hell up and enjoy the video.
zzzzz Really - I'm so damn sick of people like this.
