I own a vacuum repair shop and it was so cool to watch you repairing something. That is what I do every day :) It's a great feeling to restore something to working order, right?
4:58 -- "find the end of the crack and drill it out." I learned something today. Thank You.
Me too
But did he need to drill it, if he was going to patch it with up with the epoxy anyway?
I know that like on a windshield crack , instead of just filling the crack with adhesive, they drill the end of the crack to prevent the crack from running.
@@RomanticPopPunk Absolutely. Drilling a circular hole at the end of a crack reduces the point stresses that cause a crack to propogate. The JB weld patch is just that - a patch. To properly 'JB Weld' that cover he would have had to grind out the crack and fill it with the epoxy mix in much the same way as a real molten metal weld is carried out.
That's what I was hoping to see as I've got a seriously thick (nearly 2") crack to fix on a part that would cost $600 to replace.
Can this be done on a hot water heater that's busted on the side corner?..I want to try using the weld 1st, before buying a new one...
JB Weld was just a standard item in our tool Kits growing up in the country. Aluminum or steel welders were not always available.
It's your channel, Cody. Do whatever you please and those who like it will follow. Those who don't will hate and guess what? They still viewed your video, they still had to go through ads (if you have any on the video) and they still improved your overall TH-cam stats. So yeah, hang in there and keep it up! I love going through all your videos and I have learned a plethora of different things from watching you. Thank you so much! :)
If everyone who complained would instead volunteer in some capacity to help somebody else, we would be living in a much better world. Thank you for what you do Wranglerstar.
Yep... I said to one of my frieds, many a year ago: " if everyone would take just 30 seconds, every day, to make life easier for someone else, what a better world we could have..." ... many years laster, he repeated this to me, as one piece of advice that had "stuck"... as you say.
If everyone who complained would instead give me $20 in some capacity to help me, I would be living in a much better world.
I thoroughly enjoy your wildland footage, I am so grateful for the men and women who put their lives on the line in those fires. Watching your footage has made me greatly consider becoming a wildland firefighter. I've wanted to be a firefighter in the past I received my EMT cert and was going to go to school to become a medic but the school I was attending got rid of their paramedic program. My wife and I are actually thinking of moving out your way for me to go to a paramedic school in Oregon. Keep up the great work, and God bless.
I absolutely love jb weld. I cannot tell you how many times it saved me. I once even used it to fix a cam position sensor on my buick. if it wasn't for jb I'd would have had to scrap the car. also used it to fix an awning during hurricane Sandy. and fixed a crack on a Transfer case. it's the stuff of miracles.
I was once attaching a projector horn to the stator of a siren--no small task. I was shaping it as I had put two homemade parts together and wanted to make it extremely strong to withstand any vibration. So I used JB Weld ! I've never questioned that wonderful product.
my father swore by JB Weld....and I still use it today. One difference....he always used vinegar....white...to prep metal.....I do today.....and the FF stuff...won' t miss the deleted lost souls for one instant.....it's good to show that stuff.....as you so accurately note; a few younger folks could well be inspired to jump on board a most respectable and commendable, project!!
Using a slower setting epoxy instead of a faster one is always the better way to get a stronger bond. This is because a slower setting epoxy has more time to wick into cracks, pores, etc., (going deeper) before it sets up. Using a corse abrasive to prep also helps by providing a better mechanical hold between the surface and the epoxy. If you are not under a time restriction, always go for the slow.
Epoxy is the best, I swear by it, I used it to repair an old three wheeler gas tank an it worked great ! Thanks again Cody for all the knowledge you share with us !
I agree with you 100% Cody I was a mechanic for 12 years and I got out of a lot of jams with this stuff on my own parts and for customers that didn't have a lot of money, it's all in the prep,!! Like u said, fix a lot of ford exhaust manifolds with it
Can this be used on transmission drips hairline part of housing ?
Totally behind you on your explanation for filming during the firefighting! I know several professional firefighters, and there are always little moments of safe down-time. They DO also need more volunteers and professionals, so getting the videos out of what it's really like is IMPORTANT! Thank you and keep up the great work and vids!!
I love your stuff Cody, especially the firefighting stuff. Keep it up and to heck with the commentators that have no idea what you do or who you are.
Also, growing up my dad used JB Weld to fix a pontoon on his boat and it's still holding to this day. Atleast 15 years ago!
Don't let the Haters and Safety Sally's get you discouraged, Keep being you and thank you for sharing. Life is all about taking chances and living in faith. Doing the best we can day by day. I am going to be adding some JB Weld to my list next time I visit the hardware store.
I think the replacement parts are so expensive because in the case of production lines and storage, the manufacturer has to make surplus stock for replacement parts, then store them for many years, just incase someone wants one 10yrs down the line.
We're probably only a handful of years away from affordable 3d printing to order.parts will be cheap then. Imagine you could go into a Honda shop and order an obsolete part from 30yrs ago, the parts guy taps in a code and it prints same day.
It's only a matter of time before this is a reality! :) Who knows maybe companies will release CAD files as open source for older designs and you can just take it to a kinko's style shop to have it printed out.
Sooner than that man, they are really developing that tech here in china at breakneck speed, its scary actually how quickly they are involved and improving a technology, it will be available soon
It's more likely that companies will protect their intellectual property and you'll have to pay for that data. It will be interesting to see how this technology diffuses into the world and how manufacturers protect their profitability, but I assure you, they aren't going to allow technological innovations to endanger their market positions. This is the age old lie that we keep getting fed. That one day technology will un-encumber man and society. That will never be. The sad fact is, as new technologies emerge, corporations will invent new means to control them and own them and exploit them, and governments will do nothing to impede it given their loyal devotion to 'free' market ideologies. Take it from a guy with qualifications in 3D parametric modelling, mechanical engineering and a degree in design and innovation.
Cody I would never tell you how to do anything as I learn so much from your videos. My only concern is your dogs. Living way out there in the trees and all. Thank You So much for your time. Love to all your family Ron(71) from Las Vegas
jb weld is magnetic. you could put a magnet on the other side and pull it in the crack!
Thank you. That is the only thing that I learned from this video.
That's a great idea. But wouldn't that have to be the steel reinforced version of JB Weld? I don't think there's any steel in the cheaper, original version.
Would that work on a dime size hole in a small mini cooper transmission or will it get to hot and too high in compression and re- blow?
Shredders I don't know about steel in the "cheaper" version, but in tests all over the internet, the original J-B Weld is consistently the strongest bond on just about everything people have tested. The Project Farm channel has done the most accurate, consistent and well thought-out tests of every type of epoxy, and the original J-B Weld is consistently the best. BUT, you have to let it set for at least 24 hours. About 47 or 48 years ago I discovered and used the original J-B Weld to fill pitted areas and other defects in the aluminum head of a 1958 Mercedes 220S engine(blown head gasket from the pitting), and the repairs and new head gasket were still working perfectly when I sold the car, about 8 to 10 years after making the repairs.
Shredders the jb-weld he used in this video has steel. The black tube literally says steel on it. You can see glitter like grain in it too.
I am a TIG specialist's and my Resume includes the B1 Bomber F 14 Tomcat, missile parts, Aerospace and so much more but I have to tell you that Tig isn't always the answer for example, I am building an intercooler that fits in side the intake manifold and unfortunately because of the tight space, I just can't get one of the aluminium tubes from leaking because its impossible to do a 360 degree weld in an area that is less then 3/16" so what Cody is saying works for me! And for all the Tig experts out there, yes I have extended the Tungsten and have done everything possible without success. Hey, I used to weld inside the manifold for big block Chevy's when they found 25 extra HP just from extending the runners! I used a cut down torch and welded it up side down! No, not me up side down, I welded the manifold turned upside down. My mom always told me that I had a big mouth because I would give all my secrets away! I have no big ego because that's used to be a waffle anyway?!*
Thanks a lot Cody... I got yelled at by my doctor when I went there and had my broken finger covered in JB Weld..
Why did you go to the doctor? JB Weld is a perfect cast!
Hahaha, KEYLITHO that was really funny:-))
"you should be out there fighting fires, not filming..." I *KNEW* people would comment that. None of your footage you shot looks like it's detracting you from your duty. Like you said, it has inspired many (myself included) to get into or at least look into volunteer fire fighting. KEEP IT UP! :) LOVE the fire videos.
Ive used JB weld many times. That stuff is the bomb.
except that hole should have been tapped. Then put in a bolt with locktite. Grind off the excess bolt on the inside.
Been in the trade over 20 years. Rivets wouldnt work like a bolt does. What i failed to say is you repeat the process down the crack slighty overlapping each bolt.

I didnt do the one in the pic. But i have fixed a cracked block like that . worked fine.
Possibly. I've also found in life there is more than one way to approach a challenge, there really is no wrong fix as long as it gets fixed.
Just started watching your videos recently and I would like to tell you, as a compliment to you your lovely wife and sweet son that I like you all. I being a Christian myself and a jack of all trades find that I learn a lot from you, specially in the old manual/manpower ways of doing things and explanations. I wish I was younger and not disabled, so that I could do the work you do, since I love to work and accomplish positive deeds for the good of all as you do. God Bless you and your family and I'll keep watching. Bye
As for the naysayers who poo poo the JB Weld, not everyone has a TIG welder in their garage or down the block. You learn other ways of doing things. JB is good stuff and I've seen many a repair effectively made with it. And as for the people who yak about shooting video at a wildfire instead of putting it out... stay in your burbs because you don't have a clue. Wildfires aren't "put out," they are contained. I agree with Cody, don't talk about things you know nothing of. There is a saying, "It is better to say nothing and let people wonder if you are stupid than to open your mouth and prove it."
Right. I could never justify spending the money a proper TIG welder cost, when it's a tool I would use only every now and then. It needs to be said tho - JB weld doesn't fit every situation, but this, I wouldn't be too worried. However, I happen to have a welding shop "down the block" :).
I love JB Weld, have made replacement gears that were plastic to start with, and made casts of gears from wax and another from clay several years ago and gears still working like new..
Your real fans know that you put in the hard work every day, AND you manage to video at the same time. Just block/ban the trolls ad libitum :-)
Preach on!
"you just can't silence the voices you don't like that's where the conversation ends." -Philip Defranco 2016

Not sure I'd block and ban everyone, just ignore them. Let them stay and see what a good man and a good family looks like though... Wranglerstars are a role model all should see... more grit than I have by a country mile that's for sure!
You can't learn if all your audience shares your same mindset, Then everybody just pats everyone on the back.
I'm sure the JB weld will hold fine, but I think over time the epoxy might soften from water sitting in the pump unless it's drained after every use. Weld would be stronger too.
Probably the right move to JB weld instead of trying to weld it, cast alum if you don't know the alloy can be worse off for the attempt. I'm surprised its not zinc really. I wonder if a vacuum set on low & drawn across the outside of the housing would have helped draw the epoxy into the crack more? Another way to go about it is find somebody who does sand casting and have them make another one 1/3 thicker out of alum and never worry about it again! Good channel I love your stuff so far!
Totally agree about the JB Weld. Used it two years ago on an emergency mid-winter repair to a 65 yr. old steam boiler heating my house. lasted the season, emergency solved, house and 7 people warm inside. Summer came and we had a new heating system in place. Mid winter is no time to take 4-5 days to replace your heating unit.
Bravo for your attitude to capturing a bit of your fire work, Cody - a wonderful insight into that work and your perspective. Thanks for all you do and for not being intimidated by those that don't understand!
Wow, where I'm from we all have a whole lot of gratitude and appreciation for our fire fighters. Paid firefighters don't get paid enough to do what they do and Cody isn't even getting any money to do it. Shame on you, whomever you are, for your ignorant and disrespectful comments toward Cody. I have even more respect and more interest for what firefighters do thanks to the videos you upload sir and I appreciate the Extra effort you go through to make these videos, on top of all the hard work you put in to do the job and through the exhaustion. I'd like to give a special thanks to any firefighters reading this comment for the work you do, recently my home, family, work place and friends homes were kept safe from two very large fires in SoCal that were both very close to me. If anyone has one ill thing to say about any of these real life heros, just try doing their job for a day and you'll see that they walk into the mouth of hell and see things that would leave you curled up sucking your thumb, to protect people and property of complete strangers.
Thank you VLM
I'm lazy and cowardly and generally useless (aside from my job). But you know what, if I don't have to pack up my family and run away in a panic, forest fire fighters (paid or not), when they have a spare moment, they can whip out their cocks and rub one out for all I care.
It's these self same assholes who bitch about wasted camera footage, that need these vids shoved in their faces to SHOW... just what goes on out there.
In fact, you know what, Wranglerstar, I think you should do some "in the shit" vids. If you don't have a neck cam, I imagine a gofundme will get you one in short order.
I agree, I think people should show cody a little respect.
Show some respect please Clint I now have to stop my son watching these vids now because of you comments
Used JB Weld to repair a gouged & cracked cast magnesium oil pan on a motorcycle.....just drained the oil & didn't even remove it from the bike....10 years & 50k miles later, and not a drip, leak, or speck of oil since. JB Weld is the best!
And yes just like with painting, prep is the MOST important part
Sir you don't need to explain anything. You're doing right. Bottom line. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.
If you wanted the surface cleaned well and roughed up a bit, why didn't you use your sand/media blast cabinet?
I was thinking that if he ground off all the casting plugs and gave it a bit of a polish, then the water would flow a lot smoother.

I have done many quick repairs with JB weld. It is fast, easy, and works surprisingly well.
Too bad I don’t know if it worked
I think that we are all getting soooooo tired of the ignorant trolls that just wait for an opportunity to criticize what they see on the videos. They are a pathetic waste of time to even respond to them. I wish TH-cam could do a better job of weeding them out. The fact that you volunteer your time to fighting these fires is commendable and should be heavily appreciated and honored. And to you TROLLS, go get a life if you have enough ambition to !!!!!! Thanks for sharing all of your great videos with us Cody.
You can recast it with aluminum if you have a furnace and some green sand
in the name of Moses .. pls add fiber/structure with the jb weld mixture .. to make it much stronger ... You can use old jean fabric ... thin aluminium plate .. fiberglass ...etc..etc ..
You are on the right track with the firefighting videos, I have been considering firefighting lately and the only reason is because of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Speaking to the end commentary: I have some minor wild land fire fighting knowledge due to my forestry degree, and a few summers doing controlled burns for the state in Louisiana. There is occasionally down time in a fire. I thank you Cody for taking your down/rest time to share your experiences on the job with all of us watching.
Thanks for sharing the video. So very sorry that you felt the need to use precious video time to respond to online idiots who posted negative comments without having all the facts. They are just 'Mouth Breathers' - Don't waste your time or energy responding to them, just keep on delivering educational YT content, - Peace be with you Wranglerstar.
I'm enjoying this video series, not that I think I will ever need this skill set (the info is nice to have in the back pocket though lol) but just because of the stories you have shared with us. Thank you Sir
Just dropped by accidentally , ....checked for availability of JB Weld over here , can get it on Amazon , at least !
Looks like very useful stuff , gonna keep it in mind , ....thanks for posting , ...greetings from northern Germany
dude JB weld is amazing stuff. I fixed a radiator crack with it, held for 4 years. I was hoping you used this as an excuse to get a nice tig setup ;)
Please do not get discouraged by the idiotic remarks by armchair firefighters!! I was a volunteer FF for 25 years and there are ALWAYS someone that can do it better, faster, easier and such and they have no idea of what goes into being a volunteer firefighter. I'm proud of you for doing what you do.
You know what, if we're me, and I love the Idea of fixing stuff If there isn't an alternative or it's not supper critical if it fails. but it's a firepump, I would suck up the 300 bucks. keep the repaired part as an emergency spare.
I have a wagon that is held together with JB weld and bits of wire. Great video
Back when I was in high school my family and I were on a road trip in Michigan and the radiator on my dads pickup blew. The seam along the top that crimps the metal grate section to the plastic top section split about half was across the the length of it. The auto parts store in town didn't have a new one and would take a week to get it if we ordered it. Me being me and us running out of options we could afford, I went to the Lowes in town and bought JB Weld, a butane torch and soft solder. I uncrimped the plastic section, sanded down the metal and soft soldered the split seam back together, then crimped it all back in place and gave the whole seam a nice thick coating of quick setting JB Weld. We ate lunch and hit the road. 3 weeks later after all the heat and pressure the soft solder gave out, From the look of it the JB Weld never failed. Good stuff, especially when you do proper surface prep.
The tiles on the Sydney Opera House are held on with Epoxy Resin :)
13 minutes and 46 seconds of video and you did not even show us if the repair held.
You are correct. Even WORSE... he made a later video showing "CATASTROPHIC" failure and the water COMPLETELY destroys the JB WELD....
...so HOW does he not investigate and SHOW US how / why it failed?
Love this guy... but that's just NOT HONEST.
I just wasted 10 minutes listening to a philosopher. I have no idea if the "fix" worked. Why put the answer in a second video which is not even linked?!?!? Go ahead and block me but you have to take constructive criticism.
I like and use jb weld often, but when it comes to aluminum you should really check out the aluminum solder. I dont know what exactly it is made out of but you heat the work piece with a propane or map torch (map being necessary if the workpiece will act as too much of a heatsink) and the stick of aluminum solder will flow into crack. It takes 650* if I remember correctly in order to melt it so it is good for most applications that aluminum is used in and it can be sanded, polished or bead blasted to match the finish of the workpiece. It truly makes it look like it never happened.
Not a pretty fix but it should work. Fixed a tractor PTO case with this when I was younger. These days I would tig weld though...
In doing this kind of repair, I have done a bit more work with the die grinder to make a bit of a "V! along the crack, just like prepping for a weld, to give an absolutely clean surface, with a lot more surface area for the epoxy to 'grab'... I fixed a hole in the crankcase (a loos bolt got caught by the kick start mechanism, and crunched a nice hole..) of my first motorcycle, using a slow-setting 3M epoxy, with a thin aluminum plate hammered to fit, ket it set up sitting on our hot water tank for 2 days, and that repair lasted the rest of that bike's life.
Another little idea that I use, is to put a vacuum cleaner on the 'outside' of the crack that's being filled, to give the epoxy a bit of 'encouragement' to sink into the crack further.... also; if I may say, as you had noticed a bit of a 'shift' in the threads, I would clamp the case together, after applying the epoxy, to get the parts into closer to original alignment.
Sorry to go on, and on, but these repairs can be real money-savers, and, sometimes, life-savers!
Look up Alumi pro welding kit. Way stronger than JB weld. Easy and fast to use.
www.duluthtrading.com/store/product/alumi-pro-welding-kit-28407.aspx?&src=T13WFSHP1&admkt=&mkwid=sCTVDtuqQ_dc&pcrid=119915908081&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=Cj0KEQjw6O-9BRDjhYXH2bOb8Z4BEiQAWRdukxwesUyV84ycHftpfETxhsIHMN-opqJMhAofLV9R0JkaAlZZ8P8HAQ
yes
+Hunterdude How about an exhaust manifold?
The Griffin Benchmark idk it may get to hot for it.
The kit is cheap and works on a lot of stuff. Plus it wont dry out like jb weld will over time.
I like the stuff always worked for me, you talking about Henry Ford, I bought a new john deere tractor years ago, the dealer clamed he sells at cost to him said makes his money on parts and also kickback from factory for selling so many and he did sell a bunch of them.
"Drill a hole at the end of a crack to stop it" I learned something new
my dad taught me that years ago, noob
@@bittasweetsymphony726 good for you!
Respect brother! Thanks for blocking trolls. Keep the vids coming
A soon as you started mixing that jb weld I swear I could smell it!
That story about your prankster friend was really funny. Great video.
I have a concern Cody! Don't do this! Why? I had tested the PTO pump on my fire engine in the morning. When I got to a fire, still small and unnamed, but just starting to crown in that afternoon's heat, I pulled up where it was going to cross a dirt road - knowing I could knock it down with two hose reels and a side fixed wand with a thousand gallons. But the wire someone had used in lieu of cotter pin sheared when I engaged the PTO and it left me there dead in my tracks. Obviously I survived, but the 1/2 acre fire ended up burning nearer to 1000 acres of the Deschutes NF. Oregon's Spring Butte Fire. I blistered my FS Engine, melted the plastic blinkers and reflectors on that side of the truck, and worst of all lost that fire fight right then and there. You risk VASTLY more than a few dollars when you short your fire equipment, especially a pump. At least TIG weld it. It may break just when you need it the most.
If the JB Weld does not hold you might try taking your die grinder and opening up that crack so you can get more surface area to bond to. This is a common practice in welding as you know. I think it will work as it is just fine. Love that stuff!
95% of home appliances now days are designed to only last a few years before a part breaks forcing people to buy a expensive replacement parts which is why when I get my own place I'm going to get an older stove so I can repair it for cheap.
Well that is because most people don't want to pay the extra cost of buying things that last a long time.
Thats an assumption that many people make to rationalize making cheap crap. Given a option is the better way look at snapon tools for example they are not out of on their rears with all the cheap crap tools in the world.
M3tcalf1 No the reason people make cheap crap is because they can sell it. You have to be very rich to have great quality for everything in your life, and if you only use a wrench a couple of times a year then paying double or more for it is not going to be an attractive proposition for you. Good enough is the reason we have so pleasent lives in the west as we have, its a much more efficient use of time and energy.
+STGN01 some people may choose to have less.... and have quality
Actually you may like AvE's BOLTR series, and it's baffling what's going on there. Most tools don't differ all that much in the amount of effort they take to make, and the material and parts cost differences aren't all that huge either, but there's a huge difference between brands as to whether and where they put in deliberate failure points. That's a distinct drawback of capitalism for you, where brands that do the best work carry the greatest risk of putting themselves out of business!
JB Weld has been in my garage for several years. Used it just last week to fix an old starter motor.
This is firefighting equipment and you cheap out... not your style to make excuses for half-a**ed work... weld it next time...
Easy for you to say. This is a piece of equipment I'll most likely never use. The $300 is better spent other place.
After watching you make 8 video's about a worthless hatchet that can barely split soft pine and go on and on about how your tools are SO MUCH BETTER than anything else you can BUY when in reality an admittedly inferior store bought tool will in the end do EXACTLY the same job I find your argument at odds with your prior positions. This could have ,, and should have been a 6 episode lesson...
I'm just pulling your leg ,, it's good to see that you're finally coming around to my thinking that wasting so much time on tools is a complete waste ,, it's the results you get out of them that count...
Nothing cheap about JB Weld, other than the price. We've been using it for years, with no problem
First off, I am sure that Cody will thoroughly test this before relying on it for firefighting. Secondly, This repair only needs to hold 60 psi from the inside. Cody completely analyzed the crack and realized that pressure from the inside would not compromise the repair. Lastly, Welding Aluminum is very HARD TO DO, It is also a VERY EXPENSIVE process, due to the need for specialized equipment. I will bet the JB Weld holds long enough for Jack's kids to use the pump !!! Maybe even Jack's Grand Kids !!!!
+Brian Tracy didn't your moma teach you to bite your tongue instead of say mean things. haven't you and common decency.... where's your pump repair video huh?
Ever try ALUMAWELD rods. Spelling may not be proper. But all you need is a grinder, blow torch, and the rod. Has worked great for me in the past many times.
Thanks Cody. Keep up the great work that you do. Just like soldiers, fire fighters main focus is to protect people. Those who don't step up should say thank you for their service and be quiet.
I sealed a quarter size hole in a Chevy 350 block with JB weld. That motor was as good as new afterwards. The fix held for as long as I had it which was at least three years.
I run a maintenance department in a fairly large older hotel, I can't count how many things I have had to repair with jb weld mainly because in some cases parts are no longer available for some of the equipment.
Just Keep Being YOU Cody !
I absolutely Love your channel because you are you ! There will always be haters, just block them ALL .
Proverbs 3 vs 5 & 6
Keep up the good work My Friend.
I have that same band on my seiko my brother gave me for Christmas, it's used but new to me! What a hunk of steel! I'm like you though I like to change out these bands, mine is the orange face diver so color options are a little difficult
I like the fire videos. I also loved the water pump series.
JB Weld is a 2 part epoxy that has metal filings throughout it that make it much stronger than regular epoxy resins.
Seems like I've seen aluminum welding material at the big box home centers. Seems like the better thing to do, especially to stop the crack from growing. I do use JB Weld and in fact, my toilet tank has an 11" crack that i patched with JB about four years ago.
i did some extensive testing with jb weld on a custom appilcation... i had a fanatec sim racing steering wheel for pc that was belt driven... loved my wheel a lot... but sometimes racing gets crazy on iracing and you are working on these points extensively... and my wheel broke... completely shattered the shaft that connected to the wheel to the belt/motor... so i started making parts from bolts and washers custom cut and jb welded... which i did get the wheel working and operational. i used it in a few test sessions then ran some laps with it... "i was like awesome i think its ready!" so i started a race and within the first 5 laps the jb weld disintegrated. i have no idea the forces that the points of jb weld were under. but it did not hold. it broke away into powder... that was my best run at it... i worked to try and make this work for like 2 months and got a lot of experience with jb weld.
(the wheel was driven by 2 motors if i remember right? and the original part was plastic... so i thought if i took a bulky bolt and used jb weld as lock tight i could sieze bolts together on two sides of a large 2 inch washer and cut the washer to shape... all this worked but when it came down to the jb weld it failed everytime.
again you are vigorously cranking on the wheel in iracing, and i played with some force feed back.... but down to the point of the center of the wheel where the motor met the shaft it just would not hold up to the forces... jb weld has its uses this just was not one of them. it was never the less an interesting experiment... i ended up buying a logitech g27 wheel and raced for a few more years.
Hey Cody, what are your thoughts on Casey taking a break from vloging?
I'm proud of him. Take a week off and enjoy Candice,
everyone needs a break Casey i think deserves it hell be back hes addicted to TH-cam give him a week
TH-cam is work, regardless of how easy creators make it look. That being said, people take vacations from their "normal" jobs. So I completely agree with Casey taking time off! Entirely overdue!
They do the same thing with new refrigerators nowadays. $900-$1000 for a new refrigerator. $500-$600 for the replacement circuit board. Plus labor!
Great video, so much good information you shared with all of us.. Why pay when you can repair it your self and feel good for doing it afterwards.. Thanks for sharing..
I think it's like 70% of the nations fire fighters are volunteers. Thanks for All the hard work Cody.
Wranglerstar So how is the repair holding up?
Great video. I'm getting some of these tools. The drill hole to stop a crack....great info.
I wonder if you put some fine steel wool in the weld? It seems to me that that would reinforce the joint. Just an idea much like steel mesh in concrete.
That has to be one of the best JB Weld stories I've ever heard. Thank you.
Cody, why didn't you sand blast the crack inside and out?, just a thought, I think you mentioned in past video's that you have a sand blaster. I have had good success blasting aluminum and JB Welding.
I recently used J-B weld to fill a dime size hole in a water passage 0f the head on my truck engine. I would suggest roughing up the surface to give the epoxy something to adhere to.
JB Weld, Great Stuff. Fixed my Carburetor and water heater. Sold the car, still use the water heater.
Also check out all the specific adhisives they have. No, I don't work for the Justice Brothers.
Nice man. I've just never had luck with JB. It's just too brittle. But may hold up on that..
I'd just use that main part as a template case and cast a new one. You already have a hot enough forge, you have the template, now you just need a large enough crucible for that much aluminum - make out of steal, you have a welder. Get some play sand and some used motor oil mix. Or sift the sand and kitty liter mix. Whatever that part weighs, just get a bit more of AL from the scrap yard.
;)
We once JB Welded a few layers of a pop can to the bottom of the case of a Quadracer 250. Rode it for a year and a half after that before a small rock finally wedged in between the laminated pop can layers and the steel skid we made for it. Ah to be a broke teenager again.
Hey Cody have tried JB 80 it is some what like wd 40 but way better
Excellent an practical. Thanks for posting.
T.V. commercial...
"If ya' got a broken arse - - J.B. Weld it shut. (For all yer cracks 'n' holes.)"
please do a review on your makita tools
Prefer the putty epoxies myself. Works well when rebuilding the balance chamber on centrifugal pumps. A good source of info on epoxy repair is Devcon.
Great Video
Would this work on fixing a small rust hole in a metal washing machine drum?
Interesting to know about this JB Weld. Does it bond and repair plastic bumper bar as well? Some of the plastic clips on the right side of the rear bumper bar (panel) have been stripped off and I have no plastic where the clips hold the rear mudflap of the 1999 Nissan Pathfinder. I though of finding some two-tube mixture that bonds well with the plastic without being brittle when dried and then place the mudflap back on with the clips on the same spot as they were before damaging the side bumper bar. The clips are of push/insert types that uses screws to put it back in place. If you have seen a 1999-2005 Pathfinder, you will understand. I accidentally reversed into a log and it tore the mudflap off. I wanted to fix it but with all these blasted lock-down, I haven't been to a Nissan vehicle recyclers to get another bumper bar for several months.
regular J-B Weld can cause a galvanic reaction to aluminum or magnesium they make one for non ferrous metals as well I learned this the hard way on an outdrive for boat it did work for a while but eventually broke down the metal
The internet is a wonderful place where everyone is the smartest person in the world.
I used JB Weld (putty) to fix my go-kart aluminum engine case that had a hole in it from shoddy welding too close the engine. All the oil would slowly leak out, till i found the hole. I used the JB Weld putty. it was like chewing gum when mixed. Plugged the hole from the inside. Pushed JB Weld putty threw the tiny hole to the outside of the case, hammered (tapped) it flat like a cast iron rivet. it held. then i sold it.
At the end of this video while you were talking there was a smaller video windows showing previews of other videos. you had a radio (transceiver) on your dash. Did not look like a CB. Must be GMRS or Amateur radio. What is/was that radio? Is there a video on it?
This appears to be the suction side of the pump. No positive pressure but rather a negative pressure since the tank is the same elevation as the pump suction. Also the plastic drain plug dictates low pressure.
How did it turn out?
👍😁😆I’m cracking myself up because I watch this channel just for entertainment ☝️BUT this time I actually want to know if JB Weld actually works because I want to give it a try on a door pull on my boat instead of using screws. 👍💞...😳Wait😮😧...what??? I gotta watch another video.
