Project Farm hey I hope all is well! May be an old video, and sounded like you had a sore throat or at least something was off. Anyways, I’ve watched a lot of your videos and have found them incredibly helpful. I always search your channel first when I get into a project and am using a product that is new to me. Finally, take care and keep up the great work!
I'm impressed with your thourrouness in all your tests.
My Gorilla epoxy went funny about a year after opening its like it doesn't want to set. Not quickly anyway. Ive never had an epoxy do that before. I liked that it was clear though. Well slightly yellow.
&
If you were going to epoxy an enamel badge to zippo lighter which would you recommend.. so far my research leans towards 'Loctite Metal Epoxy'
Please help if you can.. the sentimental value of both these objects is through the roof.
As far as I'm concerned this is one of the two or three most useful channels on CZcams. Consistently useful information, good tests, total transparency. You test, and then I take advantage of your tests when I purchase.
Exactly, started watching this guy a long time ago and I knew he'd definitely reach at least a million subs if he kept producing content
What are the other useful channels? I love recommendations.
Right? I just started watching this channel two days ago, and I'm surprised by how good it is. Consistent testing and honest product reviews. Not to mention the occasional mechanic gore video where he spoon-feeds an engine sand.
Thanks. Don't forget AvE. His channel has taught me so much.

Speaking as an engineer, your videos are consistently the best thought out and executed tests I've seen on youtube. I also appreciate the straight forward delivery without all the forced-over-the-top-personality injections so common.
Thanks for the feedback.
@wranglerstar
Also, as another engineer, I agree with TomD that your tests are well planned and most complete of any I see on youtube. As Jack Webb would say, "just the facts". I was looking for more high strength epoxy and this prevented me from wasting effort trying the new high temperature JB Weld. The old JB Weld remains my first choice for this kind of job although I use lots of other epoxies in woodworking and boatbuilding.....TomL
What epoxy is good for a cracked plastic shelf that holds a glass fridge shelf?
@@charlottehall6769 Don't think I'd use an epoxy for that situation. There are glues made especially for plastic, like pvc glue, model glue, etc. You'd have to take the shelf out for the repair.
Thanks. 5 years later...and your video is still helping people.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Just looked it up today after the construction adhesive test 😅
You legitimately deserve ALL the likes simply for being a genuinely good guy. There are countless people who have such a great appreciation for what your doing and your just doing it just because it's the right thing. Yeah man, I'll like every video and watch every add considering it is the absolute least I could do to show said appreciation. People like you give me hope for the future.
Thanks!
Takes a lot of work and determination to do this test..
@@knocksensor3203 For all his tests not just this one and he has hundreds if not thousands of tests
I just did a quick check, JB weld original tensile strength 3950psi, devcon 2500psi, other quick setting epoxies ~ 1500psi, so your tests are spot on. You showed what these numbers mean in real life situations, great video, thanks!
Awesome! Thank you very much!
an actual steel weld has a tensile ultimate strength of ~58,000psi
@3:35 GRAVITIONAL FORCE? hahahah Ooh u must believe the Earth is round, its "fluid dynamics" that pull things to Earth, HEY great Idea, an amazing test, Prove if the World is Flat or Round or Pear Shaped!!!.
I am from the autobody industry and we use some amazingly strong panel bonding adhesives.
All the adhesives require the adhesives to be scraped into the sand scratches for greater adhesion. This is to provide a greater surface area to adhere to. That could be part of why some didn't adhere to the base metal.
Most all the panel bonding adhesives have similar strength and adhesion properties and have been crash tested.
The one product that I found to have exceptional strength was a special BMW adhesive designed for their weldless body joints.
Normally, splice joints are welded, but with this adhesive it's strong enough to take the stress of an open joint with a backing. To finish the joint, it must be filed or ground to contour finishing. It literally dulls grinding disks.
Amazing stuff, but very expensive. I can't remember exactly the product number, but I'm sure a call to BMW would work.
A note, adhesives generally are weak where they can peel or high heat.
Karl Lentz you are a fucktard
This is what I call quality content. I can tell you're one of those guys that holds themselves to a higher standard. Amazing work.
Thank you!
I'll second that! It's very impressive to see how thorough he is!
Its just a glue test vid calm down
Another guy who holds himself to a higher standard is: obsessed garage. Check that guy out.
Since finding your channel, I now review your video tests before I buy products for my home use. Your tests are very fair, transparent, and well explained. The videos move along at a quick pace and are entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work - love your channel!
This is exactly what I needed for a project I have in mind! Thank you for putting this together! It's surely saved me hours of time and trouble and who knows how many dollars?! I appreciate your thorough yet no-nonsense approach. Very informative, clear, and well-presented!
Thanks and you are welcome! Glad to hear!
I bought a boat with a cracked block, I just drilled the ends of the crack and ground the surronding areas to bare metal and smuckered on some JB-Weld, 6 years later still not a single issue with the repair. JB-Weld gets my vote
Impressive repair!
Had a corner of aluminum intake manifold break off half of bolt hole. Couldn't find piece that broke off so drilled two small 3/16 holes wallered out a little either side 1/2" deep bent 3/16 threaded rod into u shape fill holes JB weld insert u rod made form around it fill with JB weld mixed with fiberglass strands insert 3/8" x 1" spring, washer and bolt with teflon tape wrapped on it screwed in a little let sit for 2 days took manifold back off bolt came out easy from teflon. Sanded edges cleaned painted with little silver heat paint. Installed intake back torque bolts etc. Figured it would last a couple days to a week then crack at bolt. Nope still working no leaks etc 7 years later. Only reason I did it I had everything easy to work on and flat broke waiting till next payday and find new manifold or get it welded. 1988 chevy Suburban 350
JB weld is the best.
My 4.4 mercruiser got a freeze crack on the outside of the head in 2005. I ground it stop drilled and hit it with Devcon. It’s still running fine 800+ hours later.
@@boysrback5690 Damn, man, that's a beautiful story...
Do you think JB weld is better than pc 7 ?
One of the most scientific, honest, down to earth, unbiased product testers on the youtube universe, period. Trust this guy.
I totally agree
One of the best comments describing PF vids!
Did you not see him eyeballing his epoxy mixes. Not exactly scientific lol.
BINGO!
He is without a doubt the best and most trusted. He follows the Scientific method better than a lot of scientists this day in age!
Thanks for all the hard work you put forth to keep the masses informed. I really enjoy watching your videos. They are precise, to the point and never boring.
I really like how you labeled everything, mixed everything, and displayed everything. This IMO, is a real world test. Great demonstration.
Thanks!
Protip for mixing epoxy that i discovered this week:
1) put it in some clingwrap
2) twist the clingwrap into a bag
3) massage it around to mix
4) cut a hole to squirt out the mixed epoxy
Its cheap, disposable, easy cleanup, and its a built in dispenser!
Thanks for the feedback.
Brilliant! I'm going to be doing this from now on. thanks
That’s pure genius thanks man
could also get some transparent plastic bags for this purpose as well.
Doing it this way could also prevent mixing any air bubbles into the epoxy, which is important for some applications. Great tip.
I’m always so impressed at how much time and planning goes into this. You’re so careful and methodical. I really admire that.
Thank you! 😊
This is by far the most interesting and useful content on the net. Keep up the hard and honest work!!
You do an awesome job with your reviews. When I'm looking for the best of a product to purchase I check out your channel to see if you've reviewed it. No one else comes close to the in depth product tests that you do. Please keep up the great work!! Thank you!
Thanks, will do!
I'll add some more: I was a race bike mechanics and I've built many engines back in the days where 2 stroke reigned the streets and tracks. We could not trust Devcon for internal modifications as it can't withstands heat and fuel/oil mix in two stroke engines. We usually stuffed the crankcase and the crankshaft pocket with JB weld to increase primary compression ratio. Also streamlined the transfer ports, intake, and the carburetor with it too. JB weld will sticks and keep the ported shape for years while Devcon simply "swell" (increase the volume), turned brown, and oftentimes... found in the exhaust pipe's chamber.
This is great to know. Thank you!
That's interesting to know. I had heard JB Weld worked well for porting but Devcon B was better in 4-stoke motors? Intake ports run at around 150~190 (I think deg C?) Two stroke cylinders will probably be running a fair bit warmer? Maybe that's what the JB High Heat was developed for?
@@peterjones6945 AFAIK, Devcon F rated for up to 122°C max working temperature. JB Weld rated for up to 260°C continuous and 315°C intermittently.
In 2 stroke engines, intake temp is much lower than 4 stroke. But the transfer ports in 2 strokes is exposed to combustion heat, although intermittently near the end of the power stroke cycle. Its a harsh place for most epoxies because of the thermal cycling between cold intake stream and hot expanding combustion blow down.
This is EXCELLENT info. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
Would you advise JB weld for gluing friction material to the inside of 2 stroke rotary valve covers?
Watching even older content and still great! the effort its worth to mention and a really god job! You really help us all! Have a good day! Thanks for the vids!
I appreciate that!
Thank you for all the tests, you certainly cover all the basics. I used Delco Remy epoxy, and later JB weld to repair broken crankcases on a few motorcycles, back in the 70's, 80's. Also plastic and other repairs. Both having flexibility in varying temperatures, pressures, oil, vibration. I love all your stuff, people can save a lot of time, money, and frustration with the knowledge provided in your great videos.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Back in 1992, my ex brother in law bought a 1987 Yamaha YZ-80 for $400. The oil crankcase was busted/cracked. The owner was asking $800, but after not selling it for 4 months, he took my BIL's offer of $400. It had a 3 way "Y" crack with a section broke out in the crack. My BIL cleaned everything with gas first, mineral spirits, then alcohol. After he JBW'ed it, he let it dry for 36 hours (just to make sure). That motorcycle is still running today, with that same JBW crack repair. The engine has been rebuilt twice, but the JBW has not failed......yet!
Impressive repair! Awesome!
I have a 1999 r6 with a crack in oil crankcase too I put like 10+ layers on and though it slowed the leak down to where I can ride, it still leaks a fuckton when it sits for a long time :(
@@ProjectFarm Acetone is the best, "most commonly available" degreaser and prep for bonding adhesives that there is. Lacquer thinner is also good.
I learned from a registered, professional engineer and I bonded epoxies (and strain gauges) to sanded and prepped steels. It is important to follow a rigid, disciplined procedure so that you do not contaminate the acetone and that you repeat multiple times, with clean applicators and wipes, so that no oil residue or contaminants are left behind. A freshly ground surface is not clean!
@@escargod Not to throw shade but how did you expect PF to know to use acetone, and what layman is going to go grab acetone to clean a surface before JB Welding it? That's some 'old master' knowledge that not many are privy to.
@@Anomaly188 I don't take offense. There are even better chemicals but they are quite expensive, dangerous, restricted, etc. Acetone should only be used in a well ventilated area. Repeated exposure to your fingers will cause skin damage. After 60 years of abuse, my fingers will crack and bleed just looking at solvents. Use swabs, hemostats, etc. and nitrile gloves if you're going to use a clean rag or cotton ball to wipe with.
The next time you have a raw surface you have sanded, ground or as it comes from the mill or manufacturer, wipe it with acetone and see what comes off! Very often when you are sanding, grinding, etc. you are smearing surface contaminants around as you work. It's good to do a general degreasing/cleaning before you even work on an area. Most don't prep properly and then bonds fail. None of us know it all, but I'm a pretty good bricoleur.
It's amazing to see how absolutely consistent and informative your channel has remained, but also how much you have improved. Your presentation, recording quality, energy, and more have only gotten better!
Thank you so much!
Best channel on CZcams! Can you compare epoxy to Titebond III for bonding wood? I know aircraft builders wood appreciate it.
Awesome! Suggestion: In the table at the end, highlight in yellow the winner in each category. You did this for an earlier super glue test and it was *very* helpful. Thanks again, I watch your videos all the time.
I appreciate the time and effort.This shows what I have found in my attempts with epoxy…JB weld the original has always (given I prepped the material)proven to be the best for me.
Well done. I appreciate your adherence to good scientific technique and the excellence of your photography. It is also noteworthy how well spoken you are.
Thank you!
Proper enunciation is a huge plus, for sure.
the torque test was biased with a downward/upward force though. Not a consistent, scientific test. Also the width of the layer may be diferrent, the roundness of the sanded bolt surface. Good enough anyway.
Extreme heat seems to have a diferrent application
I love how detailed he is who agrees ? I love all your videos keep it up!
Good vid...but one aspect he didn't adress, mixture consistency (hardner-epoxy ratio) could make a difference.
One more observance, with most chemicals,some, not all,seem to work better when allowed to cure at slower rate.
konner obe absolutely 🤙 And as diligent as we would be 😎 gotta love it !!!
i know for once i feel like there is a legitimate video on CZcams
Extremely detailed, thorough, and 100% impartial. That, and a very good attitude make him one of the few reasons I even use CZcams anymore.
I love his videos
Fantastic and very thorough test. Thank you for doing this! Immensely helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Really interesting to see how they actually perform in the field. Always very difficult to know what to choose at the counter for a particular application. Thanks for all your efforts!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Why am I just now finding your channel? Finally a no bullshit, real life FAIR and USABLE test of all the top products. You set the bar!! Thank you and hope you still at it. Thanks again
Some comments on epoxy adhesives in general. For consumer use manufacturers are really limited on the type of chemistry they use primarily for liability reasons. Most are based on what they call "Bisphenol" resin and "Polyamide" curing agents. Those are your standard work life products. The fast cure products either use a "mercaptan" curative or an aliphatic amine. The issue with fast cure is just that , no properties except for fast curing. The only other variable is "filler", the mineral powder or metallic powder used as reinforcement or for shrinkage control. There are also couplers such as silane so and/or wetting agents that lower the surface tension of the adhesive and allow it to wet the substrate better. I really like the original JB Weld. I suspect it's a Bis-F resin with a Versamid curing agent and AEP accelerator. Probably has some silane in it and the filler looks like black iron oxide. That filler will reduce shrinkage and can transmit heat pretty quickly giving the adhesive better overall heat resistance. The extreme heat version, as a guess, has a higher % of iron oxide so it doesn't wet as well and hence doesn't bond as well. The cross-linked bisphenol type epoxy heat resistance is about 250F long term and 300F intermittent. Fillers help but I wouldn't count on epoxy above 300F and at 350 the polymer degradation happens pretty quickly. Don't want to appear like Cliff Klaven but I formulated epoxy adhesives for more years than I want to remember!
Wow! You have tremendous knowledge on this subject matter! What "professional grade" epoxies do you believe are the strongest? If you could, could you please create a new comment so I can easily find your reply? I'd like to test the more expensive products in the future to see just how much better they are than consumer grade products. Thanks again!
Project Farm The professional grade epoxies tend to be formulated for one or two specific properties, high temp resistance or gap-filling for instance. Also, the commercial grades tend to be brittle, something not tolerated in structural or aerospace. If you can get small quantities here are some suggestions:
Henkel Loctite
EA-9320
EA-9359.3
EA-9309.3
EA-9330
3M
2216
Armstrong
A-2
What you should see is higher peel and cleavage strength and less brittleness. Good luck!
Wondering which would be best at plugging a rock hole in a 4X4 metal gas tank? Even Bondo, which is basically 3M fiberglass resin will do "for awhile" but eventually succumbs to either the petroleum or the ethanol additives. Is there one that remains impervious? No.. JB says it is - tried that first - but it pulls away after about 6 wks..
I or 'we' are using Loctite, 3M and Huntsman. I am working with carbon and glassfibre composites and aluminium honeycombs. E.g. Loctite gives us a good component to 'break through' the aluminium oxide layer.
We are using 2K epoxys and film layers, sometimes with a mesh. Actually some epoxys are 'off limits' for a private home-use, just because they are very unhealthy.
Overall, not revealing to much, the 'private things' out of the general store are a good solution to lend a hand in private areas. At work, we need more specific characteristics.
For all those who want the real deal epoxy they shurely bought: If you get yourself a 2-component adhesive that will cure at room temperature (alway take a look at the data sheet), let it cure at room temperature. BUT a lot of em need a final post-curing (see data sheet, maybe for the dedicated shear stregth). Some will go right above the 260°F range. So many of these will show only a 'far piece' of the final strength after a pre-curing (room temp). A post curing will cure it to the final strength.
Attention: This does not apply to all bonding agents.
This is my new favorite channel. All of your test seem to be really scientific and consistent. It looks like you put a lot of hard work into it. So it greatly appreciated. I've been telling my friends about it.
You did an amazing demonstration. Thank you so much. The video was very helpful and detailed. Thanks again.
You are welcome!
Even 5 years after posting, still a very useful video. I love watching your videos and always reference them when making decisions.
Fantastic work, thank you for doing it.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thanks for showing metric unit too, imperial units are hard to grasp sometimes!
Thank you!
Imperial measurement units are a joke.
What is this, the time of Charlemagne?
the joke is simpleminded metric NAZIs, who get so easily confused....
and Imperialism is dead....since on on this side of the pond its called SAE units of measurements.....
unstoppableExodia i, an american agree with that. Less multiplication since everything is by 10s. Got a meter, just make it a kilometer
unstoppableExodia the only things that make sense to use in metric are hand tools and drug weights. Other than that the metric system is dumb.
I recon your video's are the most thoughtful out of all the test/comparison videos with the added bonus of being enjoyable to watch and appreciate the time and effort put into making them. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
We really appreciate the time it took you to provide so much detail. I love that these tests provided unbiased "real world" results. Thank you so much!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Keep up the good work.
Your product testing helps me know what to stay away from.
Which product I should choose is still a $ factor.
On the epoxy thing, I have wondered about what the results would be if I played with the mixture ratio.
Or choose items I would never want to glue to each other.
Maybe I would have more time for such experiments if I just stopped watching CZcams videos.
Hey man. I really appreciate the time you take out of your day to display real testing on these things. Save me ALOT of time, money, headaches, wondering/worrying if this time will it work, and repetitive work. Thank you SO much. I'm a subscriber for life. GREAT JOB!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
Thank you for all your hard work my friend. I’ve watched most if not all your videos and not one time have I thought “I wish he would’ve done that different”. You approach your task from every angle. Great work!
Wow, thank you
Love these tests and reviews. They are really helpful in making purchasing decisions based upon whatever my specific needs may be at the time and what I can afford.
Thanks so much for sharing. 😎👌🏼
Thanks! Glad the videos are helpful!
Fantastic - well presented, clear and concise - exactly what I was looking for and you'll be pleased to know it was one of the first search results that came up from a google search.
Thank you very much!
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
Fantastic video as always! Your tests are so thorough I feel really informed as to which products to use in the future. Thanks again!
You are welcome!
Thanks for taking the time and resources to do this. Helped me in making my choice of epoxy selection.
Thank you!
I have to say, I watch a lot of your videos (old and new) on my way to the hardware store. I appreciate the pain you go through so I can score easier wins. I started futsing around in the shop this morning, all the sudden all the parts to assemble my perfect shop dust broom appeared. But, I've only used sanded masonry epoxies so I needed to go to school. Thanks for the lesson.
CZcams recomended has been showing you to me more and im so please with these tests I feel way more informed on what to buy because of it and comparing this to the more recent stuff the channel has come a long way keep up the great work
Thanks, will do! Glad to hear!
I'm so happy this popped up in my news feed. I've been stuck in "paralysis through analysis" on a snow blower paddle mod forever. I need to attach paddles made of D.O.T. mudflap to the steel auger on my snow blower. I don't have room to use self tapping screws like most people do. I've been befuddled trying to choose an epoxy. We just got a foot of snow in Denver and I still have my machine taken apart. It looks like the J.B. Weld original is the one for the job. I'm new to your channel. thanks for making this video. It just might lift me out of a rut. (literally)
My gosh, you've got some great content. There goes my whole darn day! I can't stop watching your vids? Why? Because they are so well done and so useful and answer so many questions I've had for so many years! A huge thanks!
Wow, thank you!
I am hooked on watching your tests. Great impartial evaluation of products. Thank you for the extensive library of videos. Please keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Five years since you've posted this video, and I'm suddenly grateful for it. I need a strong epoxy to bond metal together. Keep up the great work! Your experiments are unmatched.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Love this channel . Saves time, 💰 and frustration when he tells you what's a good product. Tests everything better than anyone. Thank you sir.
You are welcome!
You put in a lot of hard work and you're very meticulous in what you do, GREAT JOB, thanks for these videos. You need your own TV show!
I would like to see a test where you drill a 1/2" hole, completely fill each hole with each type of epoxy then drill and tap a smaller thread (say, 5/16" or 3/8") then test it to see how much torque each epoxy is able to withstand before failing. THAT would be interesting.
Great suggestion! Thank you.
Good video idea
I seldom buy a product that I’m not sure of , without checking your videos First ! 😅
Again, as with other test I've seen, are you measuring the amount of epoxy that you use of each product, if not then this test proves nothing, also how long did you let them set for, some do take longer then others.
@@jameshaywood878
I believe it's a valid test if you keep all things uniform ie: the hole size drilled (depth x diameter), tap drill bit size and tap size and depth. The uniform size of all of these elements involved should provide an adequate baseline for the comparison.
Awesome video!
It was very well thought out, & entertaining to watch. I liked how you sped through the tests that didn’t fail & let the video play when they did fail. Definite like 👍 & subscribe
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching and subscribing.
You and your processes are wonderful! Can't thank you enough for your testing. I"m subscribed and really look forward to your videos!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Totally worth it! Your viewers are the clear winners. I'm really glad you kept making videos because I just found your channel xo
Welcome aboard!
Your channel is the best for getting past all the marketing fluff! Thank you for providing your processes that lead to your conclusions!
Great video . I have used JB quick on pitted aluminum intake manifolds and also cylinder heads and it worked well for an extended period of time . General Motors used Devcon in a recall on Oldsmobile aluminum intake manifolds and it too held up very well . I typically resurfaced cylinder heads but when the customer had budget issues , JB was the go to .
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Love your channel and your attention to detail in making sure all the products you test get a fair shake. Keep up the great work. You deserve every subscriber you have and more!
Thank you! Will do!
I’ve definitely used 5/6 of these and always wondered about a controlled test like this. Saving a lot of people a lot of time and money. Thanks a lot man
You are welcome!
Thanks, Todd - I love your testing - Very impressive. six years still helping.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I love your channel and it’s amazing how much the videos have progressed with time. You’ve come a long way and just seem more comfortable and confident as you have progressed over the years.
Thank you so much!
I didn't think there was that much difference in Epoxies, appears i was very wrong.. Thx for the education.
I didn't realize this either and was quite surprised by the results. Thank you very much for watching the video and commenting.
This is probably the first time or at the least one of the first time I have ever commented on a youtube video . I think you do a great job at all your test and do your best not to have or show bias to anything or anyone . Thank you very much for your effort and diligence in all you do.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks so much for all the hard work editing,moving camera angels,expenses it’s very time consuming my hat off to you from Germany!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Your CZcams channel is nothing shy of awesome. Thank for all you works.
Excellent testing... Load bearing test, torque test and impact test... this should cover almost all scenarios of usage and give a good idea of what compound to use.
Thank you!
Missing heat tolerance.
That's what I need to know.... really good video tho i agree.
I for one, love what you do and as a workshop/mechanics/science enthusiast I do appreciate the quality of your production. I even began to perform tests like this myself for the stuff i build/use. So yeah! keep it coming man! It´s just sad that some of the products you test, are not available here, like these epoxies. Yet, from now on i will buy 24hours epoxi since there´s a hell of a difference!
Wow, thank you!
Always excellent content with the best comparison evidence! THANK YOU
Thanks and you are welcome!
Best show of this type out there! You are a great host! You have saved me money an time and it’s fun to watch. Thank you, Cheers!
Thanks and you are welcome! Glad to hear!
Awesome illustration , quick to the point I really like this video all my questions and doubts gone two thumbs up!!!!
Glad to hear it!
"None of these should fail at 5 inch pounds."
[JB Weld Extreme Heat then fails at 5 inch pounds]
Great point.
The point is that JB Extreme Heat is not designed to perform in a test like this. The name should give you a clue as to what the application is. It is to seal under extreme heat conditions (muffler leaks, boiler joints etc) and needs to be completely dry before use (at least 24 hours or longer). Hardly fair to test it under these conditions but interesting results anyway.
@@regwatson2017 JB also says if its soft to hit it with heat to make it cure.....I dont think it cures at low temps......
The logical understanding is that it adheres up to a higher melting point... "Sticks less than mediocre but does so at a higher temperature" isn't a very solid sales pitch. J-B failed at this product, plain and simple.
And if you're using JB weld on a boiler, you've met the minimum threshold of clinical insanity.
The quality you put into each video is amazing. I could go to the end of your videos to find "the answer", but then I would miss your personality and appreciation for all the work you put into each video. Thank you so much!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Excellent channel Love the unbiased testing you have on your channel. I ll be subscribing.
Thanks! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Another great video, thanks to you I'll just keep buying J-B Weld original
Brian, Thank you very much for the positive feedback!
I would like to see the same test repeated against concrete.
I'm a New Fan! Cool video. hope to see more.
I had given up on glues years back. I dislike people lying about how they work as well. Thanks to u tho im using jb weld as we speak
Thanks again. I realize that this video was produced almost three years ago but I just came across it now. I have got to give you credit on the innovation you apply in devising tests. Yes, your subscribers may suggest the “what to test” but you put together the “how to test” part. Serious thinking goes into this in my opinion. Then, that must be followed by faithful and consistent execution. And then more serious thinking again about the interpretation of the results and what they mean. I also appreciate your speaking pace and staying on topic. Video editing is superb, I never feel like you are wasting my time; you show everything that is relevant while editing out the content that does not add any value. Great work… Have you ever considered publishing a collection of your findings? This could be a nice add on to the channel. Publish a .pdf document for a nominal fee. I realize this might detract slightly from views but the information you report is perishable to some degree as (better/stronger/faster) are always coming out and things will change. Perhaps you could publish once per year and update with new content annually for the next edition.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks fir the demo! It was very useful and I now know which weld to by for the project I will be working on. Thanks again!
You are welcome!
Love your channel!! keep up the great work!. i like how you get to the results very fair for each company, in straight solid results, that dont take long to watch.
Thanks, will do!
EXCELLENT VIDEOS AND INFORMATION THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING ALL THIS VIDEOS FOR US THEY HELP AT LOT 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Project Farm seriously keep it up wish I c would give more thumbs
Don’t doubt yourself!!!
You do a great job with these videos!!!
Thank you!!!
Thanks!
I enjoy watching your test. Quite informative, and keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Watching some PF classics, the channel sure has come a long way. If this video was done today I see the process being much different. Still a good and entertaining video.
Thank you very much!
He smiles more in the newer vids 😅
I loved the video and u just saved me some money keep up the good work and have a great day
Andy, Thank you very much for the positive feedback!
Project Farm I can't really think of any other glues that you could've used, but maybe you could try strengthening JB Weld by adding metal dust or metal shavings and see how it holds up to plain JB Weld. Would be interesting to know if somebody needed a really strong bond, I don't know if it would help the structure or not.
Project Farm What about super glue? Could you compare it to any of these epoxies?
Berner's Vlog, Great suggestion. Thanks for watching the video and commenting.
John, That'd be an interesting test. Thanks for watching the video and commenting.
Love everything you do and how you do it, really doesn't leave any room for arguments! It's also nice to be able to make solid decisions on product purchases instead of staring at a shelf in a home improvement store trying to figure out which product out of the 10 different types is the one to go for.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting. I think you're saving a few of us quite a bit of time, and probably a number of trips to the store.
Thank you!
Despite how long ago Mr. PF conducted this and many other informative tests, I’m a new subscriber and it’s all very fresh and totally relevant. I must agree with the majority of positive comments about this mans brilliant approach used in testing and explaining the results in a manner that all can comprehend....hopefully 😉.
I really appreciate all your videos. Great job!
Thanks so much!
Your unbiased tests are greatly appreciated. Thanks for spending your time saving ours!
You are welcome!
Love devcon products. There 5 min epoxy works great for plastics and woods but for metals the slow cure works best. Great video thank you for your time consumed on this project. Most don't realize those minutes can't be got back, so what we learned in 13min you used probably 10hrs.
Thank You for the exceptional analysis!
VERY well done!
I have to wonder two things that might have changed the outcome.
1. What if the head of the bolts were scored for better adhesion?
2. What if the bolts were pressed (with equal pressure) to the metal surface for 24 hours?
I wonder this because when I apply epoxy I always score both surfaces and press the pieces overnight.
Still a SUPERB video!!!
Thank You!
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Great Job! This video helped me decide on which epoxy to use to fix a shaft seal. Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome! Glad to hear!
You are my go to first source when I have a new challenge. I enjoy the thoroughness of your tests.
Thank you!
Everything you do is worth it editing and everything is all organized and good subscribed and liked 👍🏽
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Awesome videos, with the best content and methodology, music at a perfect volume, and everything is perfect 👏👏👏👏 I wish there was a similar channel in Spain, as we do not have all the products that you test... 😪😪😪
Awesome, thank you!
This is the one I’ve been waiting for. Thanks
Glad to hear!
Thank you, This was eye opening as to which could do or not do the job. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Have you considered a penetrating oil test? I have found two online, but they have limited sample sizes. Why not get 200 uncoated 3/8 nuts and bolts, thread them together, soak them in a bucket of corrosive solution for a month, then measure the torque to loosen with 5 samples for each penetrating oil, and 5 unoiled.
Also would be interesting to see if there is a difference between 5min soak time and 24 hour soak time for the oil.
Penetrating oils to try
PB Blaster, liquid wrench, wd40, 50/50 ATF/acetone, kroil, whatever is on the shelf at the parts store.
Joseph, This is a terrific suggestion! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
I suspect kroil would win
I would love to see this comparison.
I would suggest ( atf/acetome mix, kroil, pb blaster, liquid wrench and mopar penetrating oil)
Very interested to see the results from a test of this sort.
Ahh I was looking for this, good information. I'll steer away from the quick epoxies unless I absolutely need the speed over adhesion.
Thank you
thank you. this was great! well thought out and fairly executed to all!
Thanks and you are welcome!
No improvement needed. You went above and beyond what I could expect from searching videos on CZcams . The strength test was great! - Fun and interesting. Great test! Really great video.
Thanks so much!
What about permatex?
But it was a excellent test and thank you for sharing all of your videos with us God bless you and yours !!!
