What torque values can you expect? READ BELOW.
Real Men only buy the BIG TUBES of JB WELD: amzn.to/3cFP19v
Buy Heli-coils to get the best results: amzn.to/3aFg1nP
PASTE WAX I used: amzn.to/34JhuMh
Digital torque wrench adapter: amzn.to/2w1zpg6

COPPER WIRE TRICK VIDEO: • Quickly Fix a Stripped...
WAX vs OIL. The wet oil or grease mixed with the epoxy and can cause it to fail. WAX has a chance to dry and not contaminate the epoxy bond. WAX I used: amzn.to/33492lG Great for all woodwork, finishes, metal table saw/router table surfaces so stuff slides easily. Great for wood on wood drawer glides. You can find it at Home Depot as well for around $7 a can and it will last you a lifetime.
A 5/16"(8mm) bolt torqued to 5ftlbs is going to supply approximately 1000 pounds of clamping force. 10ftbs will yield roughly 2000 pounds of clamping force.
Torque Values:
JB WELD standard 24hr cure
5/16-18 bolt with 1/2" of engaged threads.
Testing in video and again off camera all came back with similar or even better results if the holes had some old threads left.
NO THREADS AT ALL
10.1ftlbs
8.1ftlbs
7.8ftlbs
SOME OLD REMAINING THREADS
12.4ftlbs

TENSILE STRENGTH: ability of a material to resist having itself pulled apart. This test would be a 1 inch square long bar that is pulled at both ends until it breaks.
Quiksteel: 5960psi
JB WELD Original: 3960psi
JB KWIK: 3127psi
SHEAR STRENGTH: Probably the most important aspect. Ability to resist being sheared off a surface. This essentially tests it's ability to stick to a surface. This test would consist of two 1 inch wide metal bars that overlap each other in the center by 1 inch. 1 square inch at any thickness would connect the two rods and they would be pulled apart. This is the shear strength.
Quiksteel: 710psi(assume steel and less for aluminum)
JB WELD Original: 1040psi Steel at room temp & approx 700psi Aluminum at room temp
JB KWIK: 1040psi Steel at room temp & approx 700psi Aluminum at room temp
HEAT it can operate under:
Quiksteel: 500F continuous
JB WELD Original: 400F continuous
JB KWIK: 200F continuous
QuikSteel: amzn.to/2xkm7LT
This is a great product and I have used it for nearly 20years. It is more for building up/constructing surfaces and has one of the highest continuous heat ratings. I have used it to seal leaking metal gas tanks many times and it is excellent. This application didn't work as I wasn't able to push and wedge it into an open ended hole.
JB Kwik Weld: amzn.to/2TLa5CS MAN SIZE TUBES: amzn.to/331AmB7
I use this mainly for low strength situations where I need the epoxy to set up fast but be thin/wet while applying. It is weaker than the original JB Weld but still has good strength.

It may take an extra step or so but trust me, putting a stronger thread insert in a soft aluminum case is the best thing you can do. The fastener will hold better with the stronger threads especially under higher torque values without failure. But in a pinch the jb weld looks like it can get ya home.

I think the best bet would be to not drill but simply use the JB weld as a gap filler. Just put some JB inside the damaged threads then put in the bolt, The JB rebuilds the damaged threads bridging the gap so not all the stress is on the JB.

@jongonegone1262 3 жыл бұрын

many people dont know that jb weld normal formula after seting 72 hours to cure is 2× as strong as 24hrs seting. at 70 degrees air temp. jb-weld makes its strongest formula called jb-marine weld 2parts also but at 48hrs set time its much stronger than jb-weld original. if you test jb-weld marine formula and let it set for a full 5 days untouched at 70 degrees air temp its 3× stronger than original jb-weld. the marine formula can withstand constant temps well into the mid 300 degree range. nice video good day.

Working in the late evening (dark-thirty), I cross-threaded a small machine-threaded bolt hole used to attach the carburetor body to the engine block. Rather than simply waste $55 to buy another carburetor, I hope to (re)construct the original machine threads in the carburetor housing, and in the original bolt hole. Your method is interesting-- to bore a larger hole, first, and fill the hole with JBWeld, quickly inserting the original bolt (after coating it with a release substance). At 0:56, you put JB Weld (standard, long-cure) into four enlarged bolt holes, coat the original bolts with a release chemical (WD40, wax, etc.), and insert the original bolts. After "about three days", you unthread all the bolts, hoping to find an acceptable thread pattern. In fact, you discovered only the wax-coated bolt formed the desired threads. However, my situation requires a slightly different approach. My cast aluminum carburetor body (Briggs & Stratton engine 127802-1901-B1) has attachment "ears"-- cast extensions of the carburetor body for attaching the bolts. Unfortunately, the working dimensions provide no extra material to allow me to bore a larger hole, and I must use the original hole. My plan is to use JBWeld to fill the hole, thoroughly coat the original bolt threads with candle wax, and insert the bolt in place. After 72 hours, my hope is the original thread pattern will have been restored. --------------------------- 1. Do you have any suggestions for improving the method? 2. What solvent should I use to clean the cross-threaded bolt hole in the cast aluminum housing?

@sixtyfiveford 3 жыл бұрын

You just need to attach the air filter housing? The easiest is just to step up to a larger bolt or a course screw that will bite new threads. This is more than adequate to hold on the filter housing. If you want to attempt the JB WELD, rubbing alcohol, carb cleaner or brake cleaner are the best degreaser. A thin coat of wax (candle wax likely too thick) or oil. Smear JB WELD onto the bolt making sure it goes into the threads well. Push the wet bolt into the stripped hole and allow to cure for 24hrs.

Will this method work on Transmission (Aluminum) Drain Plug? See I stripped a bit that hole and probably the original bolt using a faulty torque wrench. It didn't click and continued to torque, then rotated once free, so I checked w/electronic one and it was 33 Ft-lbs instead of 22. Been mortified of course, I removed the plug, I hoped it was damaged rubber gasket that gave that single free rotation. I saw one 3/4 tiny circle ring came out of the hole though. Then I torqued it back w/electronic Torque Wrench to 22 Ft-lbs. But after I decided to put a new plug w/magnet I bought and received. So I removed the old plug again, and there was another tiny aluminum ring removed from the hole. The new plug was not going in. I put back the original, but was not able to torque it anymore, like on 11Ft-lbs it would rotate free. I removed it again, checked w/mirror, seemed like all the threads were in the hole in good condition, and put that new plug, it was tight 1st, but then went in. I hand tighten it, then snagged, and not sure what torque to apply now. From all the described above I conclude that the hole is slightly stripped. Maybe I'll be O'K if every time I remove the Plug I put a new one. Total mess I know, very upsetting mistake. If someone has any ideas please share. The film is very good. Thank you.

I accidentally stripped my front axle clamp nut to my motorcycle. It is a 6mm hex. Almost stripped smooth inside the head. I am 'hoping' JB Weld will allow me just enough support to break the bolt free otherwise, I am may be screwed. Do you suggest I JB Weld in a 66mm hex key or weld in a larger bolt for better grip?

That's pretty neat. I wonder if the torque will change any if the block went through some heat cycles.

JB Weld products are good. I was a chemical rep for a very large automotive parts distributor and we sold a lot of the JB Weld products. They are not snake-oil.

You should try this J-B Weld test but using studs instead of a bolt. This would test the strength of the threads from a nut applying straight pulling force on the stud without a rotational force also being applied to the threads from the stud turning. You could actually use a little longer bolt with a nut on it and tighten the nut down without rotating the bolt.

@dirtyaznstyle4156 Жыл бұрын

Studs don’t strip threads though they break off in holes. Stripped threads get cut and pulled out by turning fasteners so in this application of stripped threads the rotating fastener is the only way to go.

What if the hole was cracked and broken and it needed to be filled with jb weld because there is no more threads . I broke a screw inside and had to try and extract it and the extracter then broke . So i used a rotary tool to grind down the exracter and screw and now have a hole that needs filling .my thought is to fill the hole with quick steel or jb weld , and a stud ,put my parts hole over the stud and add a nut . The other 2 holes are fine . Its just 1 ? Thoughts

@@broncosforlife88 Hi, I had similar issue on my 5.8L intake manifold. The two bolts that hold the thermostat housing broke. I was able to get on bolt out but the other needed to be drilled out. Well the drill bit I was using broke in the bolt. I used a cutting wheel to cut out a piece of the manifold over the bolt so I could remove the remaining piece of broken bolt. I then bought a couple of studs and inserted one stud into the cut open bolt hole. I then took the piece of the manifold I cut out and used JB Weld to glue that piece in place on top of the stud. I let the JB Weld set up for a few days and that was more than 2 years ago. For my application the nut did not need to be very tight to seal the thermostat housing to the intake manifold especially when using RTV. If the fastener in your application needs to be real tight JB Weld may not work.

Any tips on removing a broken weld nut in a frame with no access? If you cut out an access hole does it need to be welded back?

Not sure if anyone posted about JB Welds temperature range. Max temp is 600 F. But 500F is pretty reliable. Quick set epoxies for the most part will break down in moisture and excessive heat.

@jusb1066 4 жыл бұрын

A stronger way to use the JB weld is to change direction a bit. Instead of repairing a thread, use it to stick a stud in, if you can work with it, until KZfaq came along I didn't know about the copper wire method.. good video dude. I fixed my compressor with jb weld...., I followed the manufacturer torque, felt too high...it was 😵 I still prefer to trust my own feels. i love practical testing of things (if you need hints lol)

I think a stud would work out very well.

Axle grease is crude oil mixed with flour. What a great story. Hard to get crude oil unless you visit a toxic waste site, aka drill rig.

sixtyfiveford, i drive a 2007 fj cruiser and my transfer case fill plug hole is stripped out, I dont have a torque wrench measuring device but i can go way past finger tight but it eventually loses all of its tightness past a certain point. for now i have teflon tape on there and put it as tight as i possibly could Do you recommend i use your JB weld method for that?

Some of those tabs you could drill all the way thru and put longer bolt thru to a nut. Off subject, but might help somebody in a similar pinch.

Interesting. Here’s a question for you if you get to comments: I broke a alternator mounting bolt loose from my engine block and the end of the bolt got stuck about an inch inside the block, tried to use a drill/ bolt extractor, with no luck, now I do not know what to do to re thread the hole strong enough to hold a new bolt, was going to tap it a bit bigger and use a little bit larger bolt, but not sure if it will work, don’t want to mess up the hole any worse than I already have, local mechanics won’t do it, recommending dealer. Is there a way to do this myself that will hold up? I believe the bolt is supposed to be torqued to 17ftlbs.

Really cool video man, this is something I've always wondered about. But for you guys looking for a real fix, the way to go (on a budget) is to buy an ebay helicoil set. $10, free shipping, and comes in a 30 pack. If done right, the threads will be as strong- if not stronger than the parent material.

I purchased this but in my application there is no space to drill the hole. Oil filter cooler on 2000 accord v6. Top bolt hole tripped out due to forgetting putting my power tool to its lowest setting (i should have use my hands) Ill try jb weld quick cure and atf 😊
