What happened to the JB Weld thread?

carwash · 09-28-2009, 11:01 AM

There was a thread... "Best JB Weld fixes" or something like that...did we lose it?

ugh... anyway, here's my most recent...

Cracked the left side case on my crf450. Laid it down in a creek and an unlucky rock pushed the shifter into the thin magnesium case and cracked it in a couple places... so i JB'd it! Did it all fancy, taped off the area and everything... Reason: New sidecase is almost $400!!

So, lets see your fixes!

I could have tig welded it for ya. Does look pretty damn impressive though!

I had a chain ram into the rear of my 400EX's case and split it and had success with the same method. No pics though. ;)

I could have welded it myself, but would have had to pull it off... i would never trust it welded, just as i wont trust it jbwelded. this was just to get the bike back on the trail til i locate a used case half.

thanks tho!

i don't have any pics, my best use of it was when i blew a chunk out of my stock tank on my yj, appartently my vents must have plugged, and my cap wasnt' venting either, my turn down for a tail pipe fell off on my way to work one day (1.5 hours each way back then), and all teh hot exhaust was blowing right onto my full tank, busted the tank right at the seem. i jb welded that ***** the next day, and it is still going strong today, 10 years and 100,000 plus miles later.

wow, metal or plastic tank?

I need to dig up my last fix pics... glued vw cv bolts in with it, and repaired a brake caliper... held the rest of the weekend at livingston, and we beat the **** out of it.

carwash · 09-28-2009, 08:59 PM

Found them.... This cv held the rest of the weekend, in fact it took some serious work to get it off to do a real repair. The caliper held amazingly well also. the black tape was just to hold it in place while the JB dried...

KargoMaster · 09-28-2009, 10:29 PM

I remember that day. And the "fireworks" that night.

Is that the same weekend we were all driving about 40 MPH down the trail about 6 inches away from eachother?

carwash · 09-28-2009, 11:57 PM

Yeah, it was like a nascar race on the main trail!

Jackhole.

I have plans... lots and lots of plans.

To get back on topic, I've seen JB weld used on a gas tank to stop a leak... with a screw and some old bike tire inner tube

I've also seen threaded JBweld...

Love that stuff...

carwash · 09-29-2009, 09:36 PM

hell yeah, once it's set you can drill and tap it like steel....

JACKHOLE huh...i love you too

speaking of plans, did you tell momma yet about the impending/upcoming JACKHOLEnapping for the fall crawl?

jb weld: used it couple weeks ago to fix the radiator while in Independance trail. i prefer the solid jb over the dual liquid type. i find it takes too long to set up/messy and it is easier to pack around

carwash · 09-30-2009, 02:21 PM

solid? what???

KargoMaster · 09-30-2009, 04:35 PM

I think he's referring to the dual phase "sticks" (for lack of a better word) that you mush together, rather than the more liquid-ish tubed variety...
I have to agree that the sticks are my favored delivery method as well.

And yes, I believe that Momma know's of my absence for a Fall Crawl ride-along...

carwash · 09-30-2009, 11:18 PM

Ah, i like the liquid tubes, as it can run into areas you need it to. Imma get me some of them there sticks tho, seem like they would be better for a trail box...

Coppertop · 01-16-2010, 11:19 AM

Went to wash the Haspin mud off the Heap yesterday. Hooked up the pressure washer and discovered it spaying water all over the freakin' place.. Guess I forgot to drain it ..now the outlet tube is split from freezing.

Looks like a JB Weld fix in the making..

At work we have the monitor mount for the GPS in the dozers break. I take it home at night and weld them up when it happens on the dozer I run. My boss wanted to weld one up and he bubble gummed it all up.

He took some JB Weld and smeared it across his so called welds so they looked good. It broke a few days later then I fixed it right. I still tease him about it.
