About J-B Weld 8276 KwikWeld Quick Setting Steel Reinforced Epoxy
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
89% praised the adhesive strength, while 11% faced issues
I used the adhesive on my bike's brushless geared hub motor and gave it a good thrashing to ensure it wouldn't fail again. It still hasn't failed.
This epoxy adhesive comes out of the tube as a paste that is about as thick/runny as toothpaste when mixed. It tends to slowly ooze downward a bit if on vertical surfaces or overhead, but stiffens up quick enough that you don't have to do a lot of babysitting. It hardens enough to stay put in about 5 minutes, and the parts you are trying to glue together will no longer require you to hold them in place. However, full strength takes more cure time, so keep that in mind.
The adhesive strength of tile-epoxy-adhesives and hinge adhesion did not hold.
85% appreciated the fast drying time
After clamping it on, it took a few hours for everything to set.
The drying time of this epoxy adhesive is around 5 minutes, and it hardens enough to stay put without holding the parts together.
87% found it easy to use
Tile-epoxy-adhesives are fast, strong, permanent, and easy to mix and use. We have used them in various applications like magnets to close kitchen cabinet doors, wrought iron lawn chairs, jewelry, and kitchen aid mixer.
JB Weld is easy to apply and work with when fresh-mixed, much more than other options I've used.
The tile-epoxy-adhesives are easy to deal with as they come in dual syringes with joined plunger, making it easy to squeeze out the required amount and mix to the correct consistency.
The cap closes in a way that keeps the tips clean and free from clogging, making it ready to use the next time.
86% liked the flexibility, but 14% experienced cracking
I found the specific adhesive I was looking for in JB Kwik. For the past month, I have been working on finishing some minis that I really love but couldn't complete before because their arms kept breaking off. With the help of my Helping Hands, I just have to position them correctly, mix the epoxy, apply it to the attachment point, and hold them in place. In a few hours, the epoxy solidifies and the miniatures look like they were originally molded as one piece.
I picked this product because it is easy to deal with and get the mix right. The two pack is in dual syringes with joined plunger, making it easy to squeeze out the correct amount and mix to the correct consistency.
The tile-epoxy-adhesive worked perfectly for fixing a set of lamps where the weight in the base cracked (concrete to concrete and concrete to metal). It set up fast and holds perfectly.
In many YouTube comparisons, the tile-epoxy-adhesive rates the lowest.
