But JB weld makes a waterweld epoxy putty that's not only made to be water resistant, but it's also NSF certified drinking water safe. It's made to even be applied underwater.
It would be helpful to see how JB marine weld would be also, that is made for water applications, and maybe let it cure more than 24 hours(24 hours is supposed to be on air).
im restoring a single shot shotgun the screw weld broke that attaches the stock to the barrel so used jb weld to reattach it and clamped it down four hours later seems to be holding now i hope its water proof lol thats what brought me here hope i can still hunt in the rain...... thanks
Well, the fact it cured above water (lol) you should be good. It’s not an automatic so the heat of the barrel should not be a factor. Thanks so much for watching! Keep us posted if it doesn’t hold.
I tried the JB MARINE weld also(the 2 tubes the classic grey color). It doesn't work at all, looks even worse then the video with JB original. I removed the parts with my fingers(set and cure underwater). I tried also to set 2 hours on air and the rest underwater, failed also completely. Don't use JB marine weld to cure underwater! *water penetrated it at least 1.5mm deep, making it soft and not able to bond
It was the first time i used epoxy, maybe i did something wrong, but it failed completely, if you feel like testing JB marine weld, i would be curious on testing its strength also, because in my tests it was so bad, stainless steel didn't glue at all, even when dried i could crack it with my hand, even if not underwater. Again i might did something wrong!
This test seems better suited to their marine weld product. Is there a way to compare the relative strength of a bond if it sets (not cures) out of water vs. in water. I am thinking an emergency situation wouldn't allow enough time for a full cure.
GREAT point. I recently went to a marine supply store and they only carried Original Cold Steel which got me thinking if it would activate under water. COMING SOON: head to head vs Original vs Marine. I’m doing it. Thanks so much for watching and the suggestion!
@@FieldGuidetoDIY Was it tested and videoed? would like the answer since it will be useful for undewater boat repairs. If its done then i can't find the video.
@@FieldGuidetoDIY Cool, test also if you let it cure first and then put it underwater almost forever, will it detach from the material (especially plastic)? Was the steel sanded by the way or it was as is, smooth finish? I highly recommend bringing this by the way for an emergency: a 1m by few cm carbon fiber + scissors (true carbon fiber will conduct electricity, best to have a Kaiweets colored LCD mutlit-meter or something more popular like a Fluke, carbon fiber edges are fragile to handle, especially the more complex weaves but the 1 x 1 weave is easier to handle, doesn't untangle as easily), if you have an emergency JB Weld Original is a good matrix to especially if JB weld sandwiches the carbon fiber get by until you're ashore (perhaps if a blade hits a rock and breaks or some fishing gear. Cabon fiber's best glue from the center/away from the edge not the from it's edges). God bless.
@@FieldGuidetoDIY You're welcome. If you can add, how fast it cure if it's heated (for example something crucial brakes while one is in the middle of an ocean, perhaps a JB Weld carbon fiber composite (I guess coz' of the OceanGate sub, I'm into carbon fiber and epoxy composite nowadays) can temporarily save life out in the ocean but perhaps there's a blowtorch on board too, from a few centimeters, perhaps if it's heated without burning it, will cure in a few minutes or an hour which is manageable in terms of survival? Thanks again for the open-mindedness.
To be fair, it took a vice and hammer and chisel to force the pieces apart. If you're fixing a leak in a toilet tank, it will probably help.

Great idea! Coming soon. Thanks for the tip!
yep leaky radiator kept from curing...had to geyt it all bone dry
Exactly my results. Thanks for sharing your experience! (also, thanks so much for watching!)
JB ROCKS. BEEN USING IT FOR 30+ YEARS
I'm newer to JB than you are Joe. I've got to agree with ya. Thanks so much for watching.

@@FieldGuidetoDIY i will thanks for the advice watching your video on jb weld strenght test now.... learning alot :)
is that shotgun repair with JB Weld still holding, and did it handle the rain?
@patrickchen623 it lasted two years and I didn't use the waterproof stuff but it held for 2 years

Thanks for the heads up. I've had that experiment on my list since I made this video. I'll share my results soon. Thanks so much for watching.

Whew! Thanks for this video. I was about to try it on my pool skimmer.
Absolutely Blue. So glad it helped. Thanks so much for watching. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
@@FieldGuidetoDIY ok thnks so much
