J-B Weld 8267-S SteelStik Steel Reinforced Epoxy Putty Stick - 2 oz

This is a great product with several uses. Once opened seal in a plastic bag to make it last. Price here is standard and of course prime makes it even sweeter a deal

I have used this amazing product for more applications then I can remember. It provides a permanent repair. Easy to mold and adhere to anything. Hardens rock solid. Easy to paint and blend to the job. This stuff fixes everything from rotting wood, to rusted plumbing fixtures, damaged wheel rims, Hot tubs, concrete pavers, etc. Great as an adhesive as well. Repair anything and you'll never have to worry about it again.

Let me start by saying...I LOVE THIS STUFF!! I mean it! It is my favorite purchase in a long, long, long time!What it is: it is putty stuff shaped like a tootsie roll...or a cow tale (if you are familar with that candy!) In the center of the cylindrical putty, is another darker colored compound. You cut off a slice the size you want and knead it in your fingers until it is all the same color. Then you use it to fill holes, fix cracks, stick stuff together (yes it is adhesive, too) etc.I had it one day and I fixed an old drilled hole in ceramic tile, a hole in a concrete wall, a piece of molding on my garage door, a wheel on a footstool, and a chip on a lamp. I am glad I bought 3 tubes! It is like sticky poster putty, but it dries hard (doesn't shrink) and permanently. Ready for sanding or painting. I admit I have even used White Out and nail polish (on the red lamp) to paint over it! Those little bottles of appliance paint are nice for tiles, too because they are shiny.It really sticks to every surface I have tried. And you can shape it, not like drippy glue. I like that it not only sticks stuff together, but fills too, so if you are missing a little piece of something broken, you can form another one or fill in the space! I am even contemplating using it to make a little missing finial on an antique clock.It does dry dark dark gray (almost black), so you have to paint it to match. I wish it came in a white color. But it dries HARD...like cement....not crumbly like joint compound, though. You have to work somewhat quickly, so if you mixed too much and look around for other projects while it is in your hand, it starts to get hard in about 10 minutes.I just love this stuff and find myself looking for it often. Really does work like it says! You will find many uses for it!edit: I did indeed use it as a "sculpting" compound. My kids have this silly yard decoration that looks like a rabbit. And the grass cutter dude knocked it over and broke one of the ears off. We couldn't find the ear anywhere. So I took a blob of this and kept shaping it as it dried. When it is too wet is it a little sticky, but as it dried it becomes more like play-doh. And ta-da!!! A little touch up with appliance paint (it was the only white I had!) and their little bunny is just like new!

I have used various brands of epoxy putty sticks over the years and they all are amazing. The JB Weld product is no exception. Cut off a length with a knife and blend for a minute or so. Mold it and stick it to whatever and wherever you want. It hardens like steel. I find the best blending technique to be an initial push together and using my hands I just roll it into a long thin (1/4") string. I then fold this string onto itself and twist and roll again. I repeat this rolling and twisting process several times until the colors are properly blended. When the colors are blended and you have a single uniform color the product is ready for use.My most recent project was to repair a rusting gas line. The line wasn't broken but was badly rusted at the ground level. I brass wire brushed the loose rust and then applied about 1/3rd of a stick of the JB Weld around the pipe and pressed it in place. Before it had completely set I wrapped and pressed in a length of drywall mesh tape. I then applied another third of a stick and repeated the process. I eventually used the entire stick to secure the pipe. While the drywall mesh tape was not intended for this purpose it did assist with my molding efforts to maintain an even application around the pipe.The repair job is now as hard as steel and should last a very long time.The next day two of my neighbor's kids came over and were having difficulty with their newly hand-made racing cars. The kit supplied axles kept falling out of the wood block body. One of the cars didn't meet the weight requirement for an upcoming race. Luckily I had purchased two tubes of JB Weld and used it to better affix the axles. I also mounted an old 35mm film canister to the one that didn't meet its weight requirement and we filled it with nuts and washers until it was heavy enough.Epoxy putty may not get used every day but it is really handy when you need it.It seems to store well in the original tube as I have used previously opened tubes after a year or more without a problem.

This putty works extremely well. I have used it for two automotive applications so far. My oil pan was leaking due to a few deep scratches. I was able to easily seal up the scratches with this product. It becomes hard after about 1 minute, so you need to work relatively fast, but it is perfect for use in an area if you don't have a long time to wait or can't clamp well. It has been about a month and it is bone dry under my oil pan still. I also used it to fix a plastic piece that held my throttle cable in place, which had snapped (see picture). Again, it was perfect because there is tension on the throttle cable and I had no way of clamping while the glue dried. I held the putty in place for about a minute, and it was strong enough for me to let go without the tight cable moving the newly repaired unit. Highly recommend for just about any use.
