Default How do you use JB Weld?

OK JB Weld fans. Here's your chance. Let's hear how you use this wonderful product. And let's keep it honest, only JB Weld users please. no duct tape users.

While I was attending MMI in Orlando I could not afford to have my eye glasses fixed. I used JB Weld to fix them on several occasions....looked better than using tape and being all nerdy.

when one of my agents busts an oil pan with the towbar on our self-loaders...we drain the oil, wipe the area with carb cleaner and glub up the crack...let it dry and refill, then send the car to the auction

I just recently used it to resecure those threaded inserts to the inner part of my FLHT Batwing. Seems a previous tech had overtightened them to the point of pulling them out, then tried to glue them back in....NOT. Great stuff!!

Used it on the oil tank tubes on the H-46 Helicopters. 20 years later its probably still holding strong.

I use it to secure knife handles to some of the knives that I make.

My son recently used it to fix a broken piece of his stator housing on his bullet bike....says he is going to sell it soon.

Sealed a crack in the block of a Kohler motor on a lawn mower and it lasted for more than 4 more years until the innards of the motor finally let go.
