J-B Weld 8281 Professional Size Steel Reinforced Epoxy - Hardener and Steel Pack - 10 oz

Excellent product, J-B Weld epoxy is extremely strong and performs its function perfectly. Easy to mix and apply, with a strong and durable finish once dry. Ideal for professional and heavy-duty repairs. The two-pack offers great value for money. Undoubtedly a reliable product that I would buy again.

JB Weld Steel reinforced epoxy has been in my little workshop for 35 years. I've used it to fill voids of various sizes and shapes, repair axe handles, secure knife handles in place, and many other jobs. It will slowly flow to a level surface if you make sure the work piece is properly positioned. I generally overfill slightly, if possible because JB Weld is sand-able and paint-able. I have, on several occasions, drilled and tapped it with excellent results. It's good stuff!

JB Weld is the best epoxy I have ever used. I use it all the time for repairs, some that are downright strange. Example: I don't function very well in the AM before coffee, so I accidentally bumped the glass coffee pot for my coffee maker. Make a small crack on the outside of the glass, just above the bottom. So I thought, lets test this: so I applied a small square of JB Weld over the small crack (on the outside of the decanter) about the size of a postage stamp. Let it cure overnight. That was a week ago, and it's doing just fine. I can't believe it...it adhered to the glass and is holding like a crazy man. Saved myself $30+ on a new decanter. I repaired one of my wife's favorite earrings when the small ring that held the dangle broke on one side. Tiny amount of JB on it, let it sit overnight, and gave to her next day. She re-fell in love with me. :) One of the properties it has that I really like is how smooth and easy it is to mix and apply. Many epoxies have thick consistency and are difficult to mix and apply smoothly. JB goes on like warm butter, but dries hard as metal. I'm always using it for something and it's never failed me yet.

I thought this because of the 5 ounce tubs. I needed a large amount of this. I was able to complete my project because of this size availability. Thank a product works well and cures quickly. It’s sticks to almost anything. It’s easy to mix, the tubs can be a pain to squeeze. The smell is horrible as you should expect! But it’s a good product!

This stuff lives up to it's name, strong and hard as steel. I love the quick drying and the fact that you don't have to wait 48 hours to let it cure before you have you broken Item fixed. it take about 5 minutes to set up and a fast cure time of only about 10 hours depending on the heat and humidaty in the room. can take up to 24 hours for full cure. another great product from JB Weld.

The Epoxy works well with many materials. It does have a total cure time of 24 hours. On the front end, planning, clamping, mixing, and assembling the material is time dependent. Any excess epoxy dries to a dark gray color and my wife was not satisfied with my repairs to her china container. It was my mistake in not wiping off the excess after I had assembled the parts. This is the jumbo pack, so you have plenty to work with.

Great Quality, Great Buy

J-B Weld 8281 arrived intact. There was no tube leakage and when used appeared fresh. The white and black combo gives a grey final product. I was not sure it would bond with my application. I needed to repair a cheap broken valve at the bottom of a 60 gallon rain barrel. The barrel is a slippery brown plastic. I tried heating the plastic and screwing a threaded galvanized pipe nipple into the plastic but it still leaked. The Epoxy is messy to mix, I used a small flat piece of wood to stir components. Takes 24 hours to thoroughly harden but seems very strong and it stuck well to the plastic barrel and galvanized pipe. It is difficult to get a neat bond but I didn't care about that appearance. The rain barrel is now functional with no leaks, very happy. The Epoxy is a bit expensive and when I opened there was a considerable amount of air (perhaps 1/3 of volume) in each tube so there is less product than you think making it more expensive. I also used it on a small concrete frog statue which had the head broken off. It worked well to make that repair as well. These fixes are only several weeks old so I cannot comment on longevity.
