    Little tip for your Jb weld. Use this on any rounded surface.
    1:First Put Jb weld on dent 2find a stiffer wax paper or cereal box material 3 bend it over with your hand to match shape of frame and pull it over dent at about a 45 degree angle. You almost don’t have to sand at all👍

    Hey Cameron. Myself and my son are huge fans, I had a serious head injury few year back and lost all my memories, all my knowledge qualifications gone and now permanently disabled but I don't let it stop me or get me down and still restore stuff (as much as I can) anyway it's you that inspired me to restore again and you inspired my son and his hero and you are the reason he wants to go to college and university to get his qualifications and degrees in the bike restoration/repair business and he think he looks just like you as well he even has the same colour hair so basically he think he is you he even tries to talk and act like you (no joke) lol I'm on permanent disability and disabled due to my head injury and I don't have much money but with you're videos you have helped me budget with my builds and slowly get them done so you're my hero as well as my sons tbh! He keeps asking for some of you're mech gear, I'm not to sure what that is so if you could tell me what it is and where to find it I would really appreciate it I just hope its not expensive everything my son likes is usually either to expensive or I can't afford it or its not in stock 🤦‍♂️🤣 keep up the good work man good luck and all the best to you're future and take care.

    As a looooong time technician, over the decades I’ve used JB weld on occasion. Never trusted it to repair cracks or leaks on engines or anything high temp. I’ve used it in the same manner as you are here, as a filler in places where heat applied would weaken the structure. The normal cure time is 24 hours, but keep the his in mind. In areas like where I live, where humidity is constantly at 70% and higher year around, give it more time to cure, and it will adhere very well.
