Does JB Weld work on ALU?
 

Thats my question.

Or will it blow out?

if you get the jb weld made for alu. it will work.

Thanks RN.
Guess its worth a shot eh? :D

whats you buildin?
fusor makes 2 part metal bonding adhesive :musc:

I used it to fix a crack in the aluminum deck of my lawn mower and it has held up for 6 or 7 years. Has held up well with all the engine vibration.

fixing a mtn bike rim... the hub is a disc brake hub and one screw was torn out/another broken off/another stripped.

was free so its worth a shot filling and redrilling/tapping.

take that to a welding shop and get it tig'd & tapped... i wouldnt trust my life to JB WELD...

Like Eben said, i've heard some horrible stories on forks and hubs breaking.:(

Eben: momentary lapse of reason.
Thats what I'll end up doing, esp. there's 2 family friends with machine shops. :bl:

Yes, you may slap me now. :fishslap:

Here is a link to a product I saw on TV as an infomercial, if it works as advertised its pretty amazing stuff. I claim no affiliation nor do I endorse it because I only have seen it on TV.

Gotta agree with eben on the faith factor.

that crap doesn't work, at least not like it does on TV.

not gonna use jb or anything else
just gonna have it welded and retapped.
safer that way.

Just Gorilla glue it....
