JB weld strong enough? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

How strong you think JB weld is? I just recieved this glass zenki headlight that I brought, and the entire bracket is fucked up but the glass cover is PERFECT. I wonder if I should just swap the bracket or should I JB weld it up.

JB weld is some strong shit.. but it adds the "jank factor" onto ur car....

"jank factor" wtf?

syco3d · 04-21-2005, 01:44 AM

JB Weld is currently hold my cracked radiator togethor...hell I've even patched a fuel rail b4 with that stuff. JB Weld is god of the ghetto rigged kidz.

it's stronger then you would think.

some guy cracked his block and did a quick fix with jbweld. it lasted 300 miles before it finally went on him. that's some serious shit...

Andrew Bohan · 04-21-2005, 02:42 AM

i haven't had good results with jbweld. maybe i just use it on shit that it's not supposed to be used on. i jbwelded aiv and egr plugs, but they melted

then i jbwelded some plastic and it broke after 2 weeks. oh well.

i guess i just can't remember all the times it worked. kinda like how the news never reports how many airplanes landed safely, just the ones that crash

WOW!! JB weld fix then!!. Hmm where can I get some? Anyone in san diego got JB weld they want to share for like 10-15 bucks???

Yes it is. I have used it on Silvia headlights. It will do just fine. Be sure to clean the area real well prior to sticking it together and be sure to use plenty of the gooy gray stuff.

dude are you Serious? just go to kragen/autozone, or any autoparts store and they have it, its only like 8 bucks.

BTW- Anytime I fix a plastic crack with JB or epoxy I try to lay another piece of something with it to span the crack seam.

projectRDM · 04-21-2005, 08:46 AM

Make sure both areas are clean and a light sanding to rough it up a little helps too. I've rebuilt dash pieces using JB, it works fine if you mix/apply it right.

ghostuss · 04-21-2005, 12:18 PM

alright. Good to know hehe. SOrry I haven't got into this ghetto fix business until now, well I did, with ziptie but that doesn't compare with JB weld!! I am gonna hit up autozone sometime friday after midterm. Stupid MIdterms.

Hubie · 04-21-2005, 12:29 PM

My brother cracked his tranny plug hole on his prelude and we JB welded it back together and it held all the way up until he sold his car. Although, he did sell the car with a extra tranny.

ghostuss · 04-21-2005, 12:38 PM

wow the extreme JB weld cases.
