Are you talking about putty or resin?
Think grey Araldite. Same 2 part epoxy based adhesive. Just mix equal parts of the adhesive and hardener.

Is JB weld similar to Plastic Padding?
I used that to repair a hole in the sump of a Morris 1800 and a diesel tank on a T20.

Not the same thing, if I remember; JBweld is what you would use to weld two bits of steel together if you needed to, when you are stuck up a field and no electric or gas welder just to hand! A mate said he keeps a pack on the quad when they fetch sheep off the hill just in case, but I don't think the sheep are the important bit, its their quad that breaks! You would use JB when you are caught out and replace it when you get back home. How are you doing Ty Gwyn
I haven't spoken to you for ages. Do you know if Boarstall girl is hitting the Winter fair in Builth?

I tried JB weld.
It took forever to set, and did not stick half as well as I had been led to believe...
It wasn't warm and I know that temperature affects rate of reaction, but I would've expected it to be reasonably firm after being left overnight...
Duff batch perhaps? Or a fake?

Hairyloon, it is not a true weld, and I said the boys at work use it as a make shift, if they can't do the real thing, and replace it with the proper job when they can. So if it is me that has mis-led you I am sorry, and will send you the price of the JB weld.

Heavens no. If anybody misled me, then it was the advertisement, and as I said, judging from the setting times, I suspect a duff batch.
Am wishing I'd listened to Rose: am trying again with araldite, and it is looking very promising... (though some of that is a much improved method).

Phew! There's a degree of relief! Thankyou I was thinking it may have been my recommendation, which came from the guys at work who use it when they need to.

Also concerned that you had a duff experience with JB Weld. Never had a problem myself except when I used it to repair a motorcycle flywheel generator. But that was was totally down to human error, something I am really good at!!

I'm sorry to have caused you worry.

Human error is where I would look first, but I tried several gluings with it and they all took hours to set... pretty sure it says on the tin that it sets in an hour, and full strength in 24.
