J-B Weld WaterWeld

First off i do like the product, it seems to work and hold strong. I used it to cement/glue some rocks and wood together in my aquairum. After finishing it seems well put together to where i trust it with fish in the tank. But It was hard to get it to stay on the rock as it didnt want to get off my gloves that i used to apply it. That was the most difficult thing about the process and it easily stains objects like rocks, wood and potentially glass if you accidentally get it on them. I add to use some glue to add moss on the spots i used it and accidentally touched to hide it as it itself and its residue are noticeable.

I refurbish and repurpose cast iron cookware and pretty much anything that's cast iron because it's my passion. When my boss who owns a barn in Connecticut that was built in the 1700's found this out, he immediately thought it would be a fun challenge to start digging up old cast iron pots that he would find in the ground in his barn to bring to me to see what I could do to bring them back to life. The first project he gave me was an antique S&P Kettle pot. It was severely cracked on the bottom. When it comes to cast iron, you have to weigh your options and in this case it really wasn't worth having somebody weld it together for me because it could have created more damage because the crack was that severe. I felt because this wasn't going to be used for cooking and a great repurposing project, I consulted with my service managers because they work with these kind of materials and would know what kind of bonding agents in materials would be best to use that would be effective to do the job for these kind of projects. Because my job involves working with plumbing and cast iron and things of that nature, I knew that I was talking to probably some of the best resources. They recommended this product and I purchased two tubes from Amazon because I wasn't sure exactly how much of this stuff I was going to or needed to use. Sometimes it's always hard to tell from the picture on Amazon as opposed to what you get when you actually receive it in the mail. It is a putty type material and it is white. I only used one tube and not even close to half of it so a little goes a very long way! The putty works perfectly and it goes within the crevices that you needed to and you can shape it but you have to make sure you do it quickly before it dries because it does dry quickly as well which is great. I didn't want it to be perfect I shaved it enough to fill in the huge crack. Because it's white I knew I didn't have to make it look pretty because I knew I was going to be repainting the whole pot once the putty had dried. Before I did any painting, I did a test just to humor myself and I filled the pot with water. I have to say that no water left that pot anywhere and if I wanted to use the pot for just a planter at this point, I am incredibly confident that I could do that without any worries of leakage. So I have plenty of this left for the next time I come across a crackpot repurposing project and I'm excited with the fact that I have a product that is amazing and will definitely be able to use and it will work. So whether you're going to use this for plumbing needs, repurposing needs or whatever, not only is the price right, but this stuff is awesome. It does the job. Again though just to be clear, it is white and dries white so if Aesthetics are an issue for you, you should count on definitely painting over it with the color that matches the item that you're working on.

This stuff works really well. It's sort of a "Mighty-putty" type product if you ever saw those comercials. Make sure you wear gloves when you mix it because it's super hard to get off your hands and it smells pretty bad. I used it to patch a small hole in the tile in my bathroom where the guy who installed the tub faucet cut the tile too large and there was a gap. This worked perfectly. Where it didn't work was outside on this wooden beam that had a chunk out of it that I wanted to fill in. I thought I could stuff some of this in the hole, wait for it to harden, and then paint it, but I guess it doesnt stick to wood very well. It kept just falling right off. There's endless uses for this though. I keep it in stock at my house for when something comes up. There was a little gap in my baseboard and some ants were getting in and I used this to patch it. You get the idea.

I love JB Weld products, but this putty did not work on a pressurized pvc pipe with a tiny pin hole drip. I sanded, wire brushed, cleaned and dried, mixed putty wrapped it on pipe smoothed down edges and it started making bubbles under the putty. I knew it was not going to work then, i kept soothing it out trying to clog the pin hole, i let it sit for an hour checked and it is still dipping. Gotta get some pvc parts and get to work. IM sure it works for some applications, not with active drip I gave it an hour and checked back it was not leaking, two days later still not leaking. JB weld is good stuff.

Good

Ich habe den J-B WaterWeld Epoxyd-Kitt für meine Pool-Filteranlage benutzt, weil am Deckel ein Riss war und ständig Wasser austrat. Obwohl die Anleitung nicht auf Deutsch ist, war die Anwendung absolut selbsterklärend: Stück abschneiden, kneten, auftragen – fertig. Meine Erfahrung: Sehr einfache Anwendung, man braucht kein Vorwissen. Nach dem Aushärten absolut dicht – 100 % erfüllt, was ich mir erhofft habe. Ideal für Notfälle im Pool- oder Sanitärbereich. Wichtig zu wissen: Das Ergebnis sieht nicht unbedingt schön aus, eher wie ein grober Flicken. Wer Wert auf Optik legt, sollte das bedenken. Handschuhe sind Pflicht – das Material klebt stark und ist schwer von den Händen zu bekommen. Fazit: Der Kitt macht genau das, was er soll: abdichten. Für mich hat er ein teures Ersatzteil gespart. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die schnell und zuverlässig etwas reparieren wollen.

This stuff works awesome, good thing to keep on your boat in case you get a leak or damage
