Re: It's LEAKING - and I can't find where
FlyboyMark,<br /><br />Let me tell you that the JB Weld works awesome on aluminum that has been cleaned properly and if the substance is applied properly. Something like 4000psi Tensile to fix a slight split at a minor location... Perfect for filling or repairing a broken weld (and I'm talking about minor stuff here), and the most important thing a **** of a lot cheaper... <br />Now rivets are a different story and I would recommend your method....<br /><br />A little info on JB Weld...<br />a) We call our resin epoxy steel because it contains fine particles of ironand steel. This is one of the reasons for the immense strength of theadhesive and high temperature it can resist. Many other competitive brandscontain putty like fillers such as polyester which cannot be machined etc orprovide permanent repairs. Nor do they withstand long term vibration.<br /><br />b) Adhesiveweld has a tensile strength of 278.4kg/cm2. A strength of over 70kg/cm2 is considered structural by industry. The end-user can therefore use Adhesiveweld instead of using other bonding and repair methods such as soldering, heat welding and mechanical systems. Much expense and time is saved.<br /><br />c) Adhesiveweld resists temperatures of 300oC and often higher. This feature benefits end users who wish to make repairs in and around vehicle engines, for example. But it also gives everyone the confidence to make permanent repairs in and around the home or garden where there are, for example, hot pipes, or if in the garden there are diverse climatic changes.<br /><br />Must commonly available competition products can only resist temperatures lessthan 100oC.<br /><br />d) Adhesiveweld does not shrink while it cures. Shrinkage is common in many other products and is a severe draw back in applications where precision is vital.<br /><br />e) Because the cured Adhesiveweld can be treated like metal and drilled,tapped, machined, polished and painted it can be used for a whole variety of applications.<br /><br />f) When cured Adhesiveweld is completely resistant to water, oil, petrol,diesel and most aggressive chemicals such as battery acid. It is also non corrosive and non conductive. This means you can use it as a circuit-breaker or where corrosive chemicals are present or in a hard climatic environment.
