JB Weld/WaterWeld

[Scaaty]

For you fans of JB weld, if you haven't tried JB's WaterWeld, well, you will be looking for a hole to fix when ya do. Really just Plumbers Putty, but JB (not THAT JB!) might have improved on it over the years.

And you base this on what? Plumbers have used it in one form or another for years, and as a Machinist, we have used it in MANY applications.

I just used it for the first time this past weekend. I was actually really impressed with the way it worked. Checked the spot after a few days in the water and had no dampness inside the hull around the repair. I hope it holds up, because it was very easy to apply and easy to sand down to match the contour of the boat. Guess a better idea would be to stop beaching the boat on rocks though <br />Steve

i had an engine that wasn't winterized right, busted the water jacket way up high below the deck, I didnt want to change the block, it seemed like a sin the motor ran so good. i BOUGHT JB WATERWELD WIRE WHEELED THE DAMGaED AREA applied the jb waterweld which is a task when your hands are sticky from mixing. eventually i was able to mold it nicely over the crack. the motor runs like a champ and leaks no water. i keep it on the boat just incase. it takes an hour to dry and doesn't need to be clean or dry. awesome

None of the JBWeld products have been a waste of money for me. In fact I'd probably pay more for the "stick" ones if I had to. IMO...great product and simple to use. Has done the job for me numerous times.
