| JB Weld, how's this stuff work? |

| SirPoonga:
did you follow the instructions correctly? JB Weld is some strong stuff. I used it to repair my car door handle that came off. My handle is still on after 3 years of slamming the door shut. |

Sure! It says to make sure the surface is clean. Mix the two tubes in equal proportions (as equal as I could get it, anyway) and apply. Wait several hours before use. I waited a couple days. It wa'nt gettin' any better. I'll try it again tomorrow, and double check my measurements. |

Peale: Don't feel bad. Every time I've tried the stuff it never worked either. There are people who SWEAR by it and tell me it's solved so many problems, but I've never gotten to stuff to hold. I did the same thing.. cleaned off the surfaces (well), mixed in equal proportions, it came out like chewing gum, then eventually (read: days later) kind of dried but was weak and flaky.. i pulled it all off by hand and scraped off the rest w. my nail. who knows *shrug* ::) --Nipsmg |

I use the stuff for everything. It is almost indestructible, although I have had a tube or two that were bad. JBWeld has a money back guarantee, though. It sounds like you didn't let it "set up" long enough before applying it. Here is a link to the JBWeld site which reflects the way I set it up. http://www.jbweld.com/instruction1.html |

I let it set up for like 20 minutes, then let it sit for a couple days. I think I got the mixture wrong. |
