JB WELD KWIKWELD - 6 MINUTE STEEL EPOXY | Strong, Lasting Repairs To Metal & Multiple Other Surface Types | 50176UK

I initially approached JB Weld KwikWeld with scepticism, unsure if it would live up to its reputation. However, after reading glowing Amazon reviews and watching impressive YouTube demonstrations, I decided to give it a go—and I am so glad I did.My first project involved repairing the metal base of a wooden stool that had been broken for ages. I had put off fixing it, thinking I’d need to learn welding or hire someone. JB Weld KwikWeld turned out to be the perfect solution.Admittedly, my first attempt failed due to user error—I applied a generous amount but left it to cure outside on a cold, damp London winter’s day. The next morning, it was still soft and pliable, unable to hold the stool’s weight. I learned my lesson.For my second attempt, I applied another generous layer and let it cure indoors near a radiator, where it was warm and dry. The difference was night and day. By the next morning, the epoxy had set into a shiny, solid material that resembled something between metal and plastic. I gave it an additional 72 hours to ensure maximum strength.When I reassembled the stool, I was amazed. The bond was rock solid—no wobbling, no signs of weakness. I even filed it down to create a perfectly flush connection before tightening the screws. Two weeks on, the stool remains as sturdy as ever.Pros:Straightforward and user-friendly.Comes in a syringe for perfect ratios and easy application.Extremely strong and durable bond that works on various surfaces.Cons:The smell during application is slightly unpleasant. I recommend wearing a mask and keeping windows open.All in all, JB Weld KwikWeld is a remarkable product. It’s reliable, easy to use, and performs far better than other epoxies I’ve tried. A definite 5-star product I’d recommend to anyone.

Really strong bond on metal

used this to repair some old work shoes that have worn out on the bottom and had started letting water in. while is isnt the normal case use. it worked great. sticking to rubber with no issue and creating a good strong repair. it can be a little messy depending on how much you use but other than that this is great. and it works on awide range of matereals

Now, anyone who works overseas, on ships or offshore will know this reality. The second you leave the home to travel to work is when something goes wrong at home, leaving your better 3/4 to deal with it. This can be a painful experience if its something you should have done....Anyway, this time it was my kitchen sink. It rotted through. Seriously. My wife discovered that there was a small hole in it which, inevitably allowed leakage to the strange and forbidden zone under it where She Who Must Be Obeyed keeps enough chemicals to start a weapons factory. No even that old either. The sink that is, not the wife. She's the same vintage as me....Now, by a process of elimination it turns out that SWMBO on leaving the house to visit me overseas drenches the sink with industrial grade bleach and then sits the plastic washing bowl back down thus trapping chemicals against the stainless for weeks at a time. So the mystery is solved but not the solution...Step forward this plastic steel.Now, clearly I'm not going to leave the sink with a damned great hole in it even if sealed but working overseas means a few weeks more until I get home. And of course that means my wife needed a fix which this provides until I replace the unit. So I searched in Amazon for something suitable - and as I knew about JB Weld, or rather knew the name, I bought this and had it delivered for The Boss to effect a short term fix.Part of the reason I picked this is because it's easy to deal with and get the mix right as the two pack are in dual syringes with joined plunger. Easy peasy to squeeze out what you need in the correct amounts and then mix to the correct consistency.Because of this design it avoids or reduces the mess and you can, if you are careful prevent getting gunk on your fingers. Also, you can easily seal up the ends and keep this epoxy steel in good condition for future use. Put it in a cool place or even better a fridge if you want to ensure a long life. That's what we do on ships and in the offshore construction world.Once mixed to a thick paste this can easily be spread into place where it grips like poo on a blanket. Really. That being said I did make sure my wife cleaned the area to be fixed with solvent to remove any greases and oils first.So, after using this to seal up the hole and leaving for a few hours to cure - which is always better to do if you have the time despite this being a fast cure product - water was duly introduced and hey presto! No leaks.I just know that the day I get home the first item on my 'Honey Do' list is to replace the sink...

Very strong hard as steel

I was a little cynical to the claims as to what this was able to do. Proved completely wrong though-used this to seal a leaky steel watering can. It is a miracle cure for what I needed it for.Easy to use, completely brilliant product.Quite expensive but worth every penny for its capabilities.

Excellent. Apply and use pressure to join, leave alone to dry til next day and works a treat :) colour is dark grey, so not perfect for chrome however be careful not to apply too much and is not too noticeable.Somehow the handle on my wine fridge snapped off randomly 🤯 however this has fixed the issue. Will see how long it holds for 🤞Update: Has come unstuck after just two weeks! May not be great for anything you need to actually use repeatedly ie. In my case a fridge door handle.. Not happy! Now reduced to 3 stars!

I bought two packs of this and both suffered the same problem.Firstly, when I tried to dispense, the white coloured part did not come out of the tube.I had to prod around in the end to get it to release - it seemed to be bunged up with dry material.When I got it to dispense, I did the 50:50 mix (it smells awful!!) and left it to cure. After 6 minutes it was still very tacky. After several hours it remained tacky and soft.I left for 24 hours then 48 hours and the stuff never seems to set hard - it always feels soft and you can mark it with you finger nail or stick a screwdriver straight through it.No chance of filing or tapping (I wanted to fill a hole in an aluminium part and re-drill/tap - not going to work with this soft putty........
