THIS IS FABULOUS. I ONLY WISH I COULD GET SOMEONE TO THE REPAIR ON MANY OF MY LOUNGE CHAIRS.

You definitely don’t want to traumatize your bolt😎

Thanks man I actually have a table from the same manufacturer as your patio furniture cuz I actually have those chaise lounges one of the legs on my table broke off during a move where it attaches with a bolt I'm going to try the J-B Weld and figure out how I can add a bolts for strength

You have nice taste. If you can fit a bolt in it then that does work really well... if not you could use a piece of metal as a splint in the back of the leg where it is not noticeable and epoxy it all together. Doing a splint type repair was actually my first thought until I realized I could fit a bolt into it. Although the JB weld holds pretty good, you definitely want to reinforce it if you can.

Is there a way to thin it so it's brushable? Want to repair a pitted wheel bead.

@DIYWithAaron Ай бұрын

I don't think thinning it would work too well and it's probably not the right solution for your application. Perhaps something like this might be better... www.amazon.com/tire-bead-sealant/s?k=tire+bead+sealant

Is there anything we can use to Re-coat a small area that has chipped off leaving an almost white splotch on the otherwise dark cast aluminum table?

@DIYWithAaron Ай бұрын

Clean the area from any dirt dust or corrosion... then prime and then paint with a similar color. It probably wont be quite as good as the rest of the factory powder coating, but should be much less noticeable then a big white splotch..

@@DIYWithAaron so just some type of metal paint like Rust-oleum you think?

@DIYWithAaron Ай бұрын

I'd search on google to see what other people suggest. I've not painted cast aluminum myself but I know you can.

I dunno which JB Weld company you used but mine did not bond at all. I got the Epoxy steel resin with the hardner. I was trying to bond a steel plated nut to a steel shaft on a electric motor. It never bonded and I was able to remove it with my hand after 24 hrs curing. I sanded the steel and put some acetone to make everything was clean. I did this 3 times with JB Weld. I tried 3 brands of metal glue but all the same problem. I tried super and gorilla steel epoxy and same problem. I solved the problem by getting it welded. I also was emailing JB Weld support and they check the glue and also the pictures and video I sent to them. They could not understand why it would not bond. Reply

I don't know. If you mixed it in equal parts and it wasn't real cold where the reaction was slowed down... it should have cured hard and stuck well. Weird that JB Weld couldn't come up with an explanation since they should know better than anyone. Even weirder that you had the same issue with 3 different brands.

Is it still holding up now?

Yep, good as new still.

Instead of drilling a bolt how about a pipe ring around the 2 broke pieces ?

@DIYWithAaron 9 ай бұрын

From a functionality perspective that would probably work, but putting the bolt inside looks close to seamless unless you really look for it up close. If I was motivated enough to touch it up with paint then you'd never know it was ever broken.
