Fixing Hole in Exhaust - JB Weld Extreme Heat
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 11. 2021
- Today I complete a quick fix to my trucks exhaust pipe! The last pipe that curves has a small hole and the rest of the pipe is solid, so I am trying to apply JB Weld Extreme Heat patch to see how it works! After ~2000 miles it has survived and looks good for many more miles!!

I use the jb weld extreme heat on exhaust manifolds and it holds up well. I typically put a piece of thin forming metal over the patch and tighten with wire and it holds up well. Recommend it!
For that type of repair I'd use a small piece of metal window screen formed to the contours of the pipe's surface and apply the repair paste over the screen to achieve a stronger repair. The screen can be held in place with wire wrapped around the pipe to secure it in place while the repair paste is applied.
Thanks for the tip 👍
You dam genius you lol Thanks
If I had to guess I'd say your a drywall mud man with that nifty little tip😂
Like that advice!! That's what I will do with the screen. Thank you
Weird spoon
That’s what I was thinking 🤣

😂😂😂😂💥👍
What's wrong with it? I do wish they made something to eat soup easier though
Ok I wasn’t alone 🫠
Put a piece of screen over the hole after you apply a light coat and then cover it with JB and it will hold better.
Excellent video! Going to try it on a small pinhole I found on my very low mileage car's muffler. Thanks for posting!
Great video, thank you for all the info especially the after math of a long trip. You’re awesome
Appreciate the after trip follow up. Had a couple small holes near the flange where the y pipe was welded together. My gas welding skills suck, thought I'd try this. The stuff is thin enough when mixed it will sag if applied too thick. Was trying to pack in where the pipes join, had to keep working it with the spreader until it started to set. FWIW.
ive used this as a temp fix on my cracked exhaust manifold until the new one arrived. months later, it's still holding. I'll be using the same for my resonator.
Life saver🥰, I was literally panicking. Thank you for this video
Nice video.....thanks for the 2K follow-up!
I did this right after replacing the igniter with your other video. It’s perfect now! Thank you 😊
what truck?
Right on! Thanks for sharing, now I feel good about this
Thanks, I have used regular JB weld to repair a cracked head on an engine. I didn't even know there was a high temp JB weld.
better to do this than replace SS OEM pipes. I have a Lexus and Explorer, they both got holes where the exhaust shields are welded on. One guy was able to put some weld spatter and save the pipe. Holds great. He mentioned this product can be almost as good.
Excellent explanation! Thanks for your video. I was looking for an explanatory video to apply this product, I'm going to repair a similar hole in the exhaust pipe of a 2010 Ford Escape. Gracias.
Nice test!
I just used this on my exhaust xing fingers it works mine was just a few pin holes on the main muffler box, but it threw all kinds of codes being a twin turbo charged truck
Used it on a 07 Kia Rio near the second cat convert and has lasted over 5 month. Use it all up since I found what I had left all harden up. Which I figured would happen.
I use the JB Weld HighHeat Epoxy Putty and I've used it on a hole in my exhaust like yours and now I'm trying it on a complete tear away of a joint where my exhaust manifold meets my catalytic converter pipe. Hopefully it works out. Just applied it today and letting it cure overnight and I will fire it up. Hopefully it gets rid of this annoying rattle at idle.
How is it holding up after a few months?? I had a bolt break off on me when I was putting on a catalytic converter. There is a small hole and I thought about using this to patch it up. Since it's up front you can't drill it out which sucks.
2007 gt eclipse just did my pipe gonna test it out here in a bit
Great video
I have same problem. Hole is near the muffler hanger. I'll give it a try. Thanks . Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving
Any luck near the hanger
Good job.....
I think a rock flew up from the road and punctured your only rust spot. That's Murphy for ya.
Great video, currently restoring a BBQ so this is very informative. Must say the echo form your voice at the end made me laugh sounded like you was inside the exhaust.
Keep making good content, you've earned a sub!
Lol you're right!
I bought some to fix a radiator with a small hole at the top of the radiator. I know the general area of the hold but not specifically where the hole is. Radiator only leaks when I drive. I was curious about the consistence and plan to use a toothbrush to apply. I had used another type of jd weld that was more like a putty... didn't stop the leak. You might have used some cheese cloth to assist with the application, especially over the hole. I was impressed and hope this stops the leak on my radiator.
Have you tried “jb weld original” I have fixed a few radiator holes with it
Great vid
Been there done that
New tech repair tape is good too
I wouldve done 2 coats. First coat putting attaching a little wire mesh for the wet jb to cling to.
Thank you for the video I will try it.
Hi, how is it holding up. Update please....
How did it end up working out?
So once its opened and mixed you have to use it all at once Im assuming
is it still good? Some guy working on the home depot page for this product keeps telling everyone that it's water based and shouldn't be used anywhere that gets wet. that's only before it's cured, right? Like, puddles or rain wouldn't mess up the hardened stuff?
How’d it hold up for you over time ?
Will this work on a small crack in an exhaust manifold?
I will be putting this jb weld to the ultimate test. Trying to jb weld a water cooling jackets for a 2 stroke rc boat on 2 weed eaters to make it "water cooled" for a twin engine inline scooter. I cut the air fins, and now it's time for the JB. You would think coolant flowing thru wouldn't cause the parts where jb is to get up to anywhere near the high temp rating.. only one way to find out
Thanks for the video, I have a old motercycle, it's a 1982 xj650 maxim, I'm trying to get it back to good condition because I love the bike but there is issues with parts scarcity. I have a small hold about the size of a penny I'd say on the muffler on the left side, I'm going to try this since it's on the bottom of the exhaust, technically I don't need to to be road legal but I want to for my own reasons
I had an 82 xj650 Seca, still had an 82 plate on it... got it running and had to sell because rubber boots to carb were over $350 bucks and weren't even oem.
How is it holding up now?
Is it still holding up 10 months later?
would this work on a titanium exhaust?
I've got a decently sized crack on my exhaust manifold would this work to patch that
You should do the whole tailpipe.
😅
Has it held up good?
Charles, I always thought that stuff got hard in the little can when it got hard on what you put it on. I guess it remains spreadable if you put the cap on the can. I suppose it dries with air, not a chemical reaction.
me too. then, I saw my buddy pull a small container from his garage fridge, remove a plastic plug he put on top & swirl it up for a Briggs & Stratton repair. it worked. I asked how long it had been there & he guessed a few weeks. I asked if keeping it in the fridge helped too (along with the plastic) & he said it, “helped to not lose it out here,” but didn’t know if low temp kept it from setting. he keeps super glue & epoxy in there too. he out-fishes me every time, so I have to believe in his methods.
SPOON.
As long as it doesn't take out the windshield of driver behind you when patch finally is shaken off, I guess it's a success.....
After I've done my exhaust repair artwork.
I had jb weld holding together the metal coolant fitting on my intake manifold for a year before I got rid of it.
Probably the strongest part of the car.
Great content. I appreciate that you included the follow-up after your 2000-mile trip in the same video. The intro music could be lowered and minimized. I subscribed to you for content that help me decide how to do my DIY repairs (and help me decide *if* I can do them on my own), not for intro music.
Did the rust in the pitted area have much effect on the adhesion for this type of application?
Yes, should have sanded a bit more and wiped off the area more clean before application
What's that head torch your using
Hi Sir what is the product you are using it ?
Interesting Video, I think it would have worked better if you placed a small plate over the hole. Just my opinion. Enjoyed watching though. (UK)
My friend did that stuff smells it was burning off on the first part of your trip
Just wondering,, a year later.. is the JB weld still holding up.. ? Curiosity
In another comment the guy said he sold the truck 6 months ago but it was still holding.
How long did it last?.....Mario, Nova Scotia, Canada
No need to spread it so wide, concentrate on more on and by the hole. Take a roll of aluminum foil and do 10 layers wrap it over the putty and then put 4 hose clamps around the foil and one of those clamps directly over the hole pushing the foil down holding in that putty when it dries.
Hi Charles, good video... I just wanna ask u... Do u think this thing will work fine on my engine oil pan with a tiny hairline crack?
Absolutely, it definitely is worth the try!!
@@charlescoushaine ill try it
hey man is that Fluid Film you put on your underbody?
Yes fluid film for many years with great success then transitioned to NH Back to Black
People are saying if it comes in contact with water it falls apart. Is it holding up on your exhaust even if it gets wet from rain covered roads etc?
Unfortunately, I sold the truck 6 months ago so cannot comment on it further, however, it was still holding strong at the time of sale!
Used this to fix my propane tanks
Are you still alive? 😂
@@LawDawg379 yes but my grill blew tf up, not sure if the jb weld let loose
CAN I USE THIS B4 THE CAT?
I don't know why Bubble come after dry , it's hold but don't know if bubble is fragible
After the contents in the cup have been mixtured is it possible to recap the cup and save the remaining for another day?
Am not sure exactly how long the mixed up bottle will last but another day or so sounds entirely possible!
it threw p2098 and p0299 lean condition after the cat and the other was turbo under boosting
I see you've played knifey spoony before..
That's a knife 🔪
Update?
How long (time and miles) did it last?
@jon he drove all the way to Florida I think ( not 100% sure he said 1500 miles
@@anthonybostwick163 Ok, well if fix is only good for 1.5K miles... not worth it for me. TY
you used the whole bottle on a 1/4 inch hole?
Did u make an update???
No longer have that truck so cannot update any further
I thought that was a butter knife
The real test is how it hold up after a number of thermal cycles....how'd it do?
You missed a chance. When you were in Florida you should have had someone pull you out from under the truck, they the video shows a big alligator tail..
Plastic spoon? What do you call a knife? 😂
You would atkeast need a clothe patch to go over that last hole.
Otherwise that hole will literally come right back.
Isso é veda escape
I liked your video and found it informative
I'm a little short on cash and my wife has a loose tooth, do you think this stuff might work to cement it more firmly in place?
Why do I feel like he wanted to sell me something at the start 😅
Spoon lmao. U need to worry about all that oil everywhere
Hold on! Why didn't the remainimg J-B Weld In the container that you used for the second coat cure in the jar while the amount you used set up? Makes no sense. Did you have a second jar?
Used same container, closed, and contents didn't harden between coats!
No air, moisture or way for the chemicals to degas and harden.
I would of gone to the muffler shop and gotten it fixed 😂
Spoon 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Necesito escucharlo en español
Doesnt work tried it on my manifold trying regular jb weld instead and steel stik
too much vibration at the manifold
@@GeneralFarmer not if u wrap some plating around it works ok for awhile i got a new manifold ordered
@@dab-pre-ss-ionaustin1986 that should do it. maybe not a permanant fix but get u by for a while. in my experience manifolds and flexis dont hold up to repairs too well for the long run
Be mindful that at the manifold your dealing with what you might consider exhaust plasma plus the back pressure from a catalytic converter which will generate higher temperatures and pressures than the product is designed for. An organic paste is not going to hold up for long in those conditions and neither are most epoxies going to hold up where even a gas or arc welded repair will often fail. One does have to be realistic in their expectations despite them listing manifolds as a potential use on the package.
Best!
The area has more then the hole ? Build up the hole buddy .
TThe us men deal with when we saving TTime n money n looking after our 🚗 n people wontt ever understand why we will fixed our ride first befor we waste money on buying a new 🚗 tthats gon need work done on it a year or two 😄😄😄😄
In my experience, Jb Weld doesn’t hold up no matter how well you prepare the surface. The heat always breaks it down. Don’t even bother wasting your time.
The video fails to shot the "after", "how it worked out" Its unfortunate that Charles's videos lack essentials.
Bet you thought about that repair the entire trip
