Make sure you use a large C clamp, with the jaws well padded where it contacts the cover of course, to hold the deflector in place until the epoxy dries.

 

Thanks for the offer Brother. Im gonna go with the high-temp JB weld fresh from NAPA. Autozone is closer but they cant get anything right, haha.

 

Yes, formula+ in the primary. Used standard JB Weld as well. Been on there for 4 years. No issues.

 

I used jb quick weld. Dries in 10 min. I didn't want to wait 24 hrs. Been working great 2 +yrs now.. Don't spend that much on he epoxy..clean the ares well. I used acetone to remove any oil residue

 

I've designed a few adhesive joints in my day. Oil resistance and strength are important but equally if not more important is matching the flexibility of the two things you're gluing. The joint is plastic to aluminum both of which grow when heated. The plastic much more than the aluminum. The adhesive needs to give enough to handle that.

For those that use JB weld (metal filled epoxy), next time the primary is off give the plastic tray a good jerk. IF it comes off then JB is probably not a good choice...my guess is JB weld is fine as the plastic tray weighs next to nothing.

 

This is the best 2 part epoxy IMHO.

I resuscitate this old post for a question§: JB weld sell different epoxy products, everyone with a specific numeric code, which is the right one to look for?
thanks

 

you may enjoy this linked review:


While I have seen J-B Weld make remarkable repairs years ago, in more recent years I’ve had it fail catastrophically several times. It is possible those failures were the Kwikweld formulation, I do not remember.

 

One poster mentioned he had good results with JB Weld High Heat Epoxy SKU #8297.

 

Just watched the video, my question is this. He keeps saying "quick epoxy" is he alluding to a 1 hour set time for the test time. JB states in their packaging of up to 8 hours cure time. Since there isn't any dynamic forces on the oil deflectors, i.e. push , pulling yanking or weight dropping on it. I don't see any problems and some of the statements in this thread are a testament to these epoxies.
