Used to fix water tank for a caravan
Arrived as ordered.Used to fix new tie bar into a damaged thread in the base of a caravan water heater. The tie bar is constantly in water being heated up to 70 degrees.I needed a non toxic putty that can be used under water. It mixed as per instructions and set as promised and showed no sign of deterioration after a 7 day trial. (The test scratch was still clear)So, so far great.

Failed to seal a leak on white waster pipe
Followed the instructions closely but it failed to seal a leak on white waste pipe. Ended up removing all the pipe work and replacing it. So waste of money.If you do decide to use it you will need disposable gloves to avoid getting the compound on your skin. These are not included, so more expense wasted getting disposable gloves!

Very easy to use, does exactly what it advertises :)
Does exactly what it says, just follow the instructions and no problemo. Fixed a leaking toilet cistern no problem, works a treat

It may be waterproof, but needs to be dry to stick to anything.
I've used epoxy putty before, with great success. Therefore I was expecting one specifically for water-related repairs to be just what I needed.You always mix too much up, so it's good to start off with the smallest amount you think you'd need and build it up.I find rolling into a worm shape, folding over and rolling again works best to thoroughly mix the two parts. You can feel it's exothermic as it gets warmer as you mix.Unfortunately the surface to bond to must be perfectly dry. This was used to repair a small hole in a copper pipe, which I had to heat up a bit first to dry off. Thoroughly mixed, applied and left to set for a few hours it seemed quite hard. Unfortunately the application of water pressure caused it to puncture straight away. It's not quite as hard as it appears at a thickness or about 4mm. More drying, more putty and another bout of hardening fixed the problem of the water bursting through the putty. It just leaked a bit around where it joined the clean and roughened copper pipe.I'm sure under little pressure this would be excellent. The claims for 900psi must be a bit suspect, as I'm sure it would change depending on the thickness and shape of the hole you're plugging!

Patches holes effectively
Waterweld is very effective at stopping leaks. I used it on a large blue plastic barrel adapted to hold rainwater. It mended a leak in the bottom of the barrel which is now totally in use again. A very good product.

Didn't work for me
Failed to seal a water leak in a plastic cistern....took several hours for it to harden completely...

As expected
As expected – its epoxy putty. It is a binary compound that when mixed is malleable like normal putty for a few minutes. It then sets rock hard and can be drilled/filed/sanded/painted ect. It is formulated for use with either wood, plastic, metal, or water. This is the type to use with objects containing water as it is non-toxic once set.wood: J-B Weld 8257 KwikWood Wood Repair Epoxy Putty - 1 oz Size: 1-Pack, Home Improvement Tool plastic: J-B Plastic Weld Epoxy Putty metal: J-B Steel Stik Reinforced Epoxy Putty water: J-B Water Weld Epoxy Putty
