I watched a TV test of JB Weld on a metal table where it was used to construct the table by applying JB to all of the joints and seams. The same table was built using a MIG welder. They were both dropped from a two story window to see what the differences were if any. The JB table exploded into every single piece that was used to construct the table. The MIG table was bent. I have made extensions to plastic parts that have held up under heavy use and I used the dual applicator epoxy product where the two tubes are are connected to one applicator. I used duct tape to create the underside of the area I was adding to and duct tape to create the edges also. Once it hardens I pulled the tape off and sanded it smooth. They are still in use today. It is much stronger than JB and if drilled will hold threads much better. I have found that using JB requires that the patch must be supported on ALL sides to stay intact. This is just my experience and I am sure that JB Weld has many good uses and people have had good experiences with it. I have not.
