Just thought I would start a fun thread.

I have used it to reinforce mini T rear hub carriers that always seem to break.

Glue in a motor magnet.

Fill the hole an a yokomo shock cap when I lost the screw.

I put neo magnets in place of ceramic and used TOO MUCH and of course the 3 magnets on one side, well 2 had the right polarity but the middle one was opposite. To make a story short, i used dremel to take all 6 out. Now all you need is a dab on each corner to hold. Here's the kicker, i didn't talk FRENCH the whole time i was dremeling out! LOL- Oh yes , i put one neo on each side with a dab of ca and it's holding, now you know the rest of story!!

Everything!! For R/C I've used it to put a magnet back in a Ti can. I tried epoxy the first two times. It has been in there for a long time now with no trouble at all.

I held a valve seat in my lawnmower engine in for an entire summer a few years back. It ran great.

Cracked the engine case on a 1970 Honda 90 3-wheeler and used JB Weld to fix. It has been holding for 10+ yrs now like that.

Plus many other items.

JB Weld, Duct tape, bailing wire, WD-40, and vice grips are all you'll need! :)

I had some pores in my aluminum heads on my racecar engine that were weeping a little water into the combustion chamber... My engine builder said the only choice was to replace the heads. A litle JB weld pushed into the pores and allowed to dry. checked the heads for flatness and not a single problem since....

JB saved me big $$$ on that one!

Most recent use to lock a set of Clodbuster differentials. Have used in the past to repair threads in a mower engine and multiple household repairs :thumbsup: Wouldn't be without the stuff.

We must be related :D

Fix cracks and splits in bodies, broken body mounts, lock diffs and anything else that breaks.
