I tried JB weld and let it cure for 2 days and 20 seconds after picking it up it cracked right back. I have read about some welding techniques but I figured old school know how was the first choice. Any bolters had this issue and fixed it? Thanks for the help. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 | Got a photo we can look at for ideas?

It had some cracks in it, and they have not re-appeared in the three years since completion (kow) You do have to watch the heat, it is a very fine line between melting enough to add the filler rod and a dime sized hole just dropped out. The finer your torch size the better... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 55 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 55 | I second Roberts suggestion those rods work really well for this application and are normally quite strong. I use a propane torch to keep the heat down. Prep is key for using these things.
