Sandro is so good him and the boys built an entire car out of JB Weld once.

when is angelina coming back tryna see my teacher get some screen time 🙏

We need to see what Sandro would do if he had his own channel 😭

In about 1976 I used JB Weld to seal a crack in an oil pan.....455 Olds. I had that car until 2000, and the repair held.

I see Sandro. I watch its that simple. He's one of the boys 😂

The guy with all the tools doing JB Weld body work is probably a professional trying to show people how it can be done without welding

Appreciating the ingenuity and creativity in the use of JB Weld. Clearly, it's not an end-all solution for every car problem but it can surely be a life saver in certain scenarios.

The penultimate clip was legitimately impressive. The work was practically indistinguishable from an undamaged door panel.

It's rare to see Sandro left speechless, so props to the JB-Weld Cylinder Guy for managing that.

Sandro is the reason I've been a tech for over 20 years. Love working with guys like him. He's the dude in the shop that makes the job worth going to every day. He's quickly became my favorite Guest Donut speaker 😅

Sandro is a legend. The guy knows how to work magic with JB Weld!

I love how non judgmental Sandro is. He will tell you it's dumb, but he gets sometimes you just need to make it work for a hot minute.

"my homeboy never noticed it" xDDDDDD sandro is the best

That JB Weld cylinder was on a two stroke engine, meaning he didn't need to figure out valves and whatnot. Also my guess for how he made it was that he made a mold and put a cardboard tube in the middle and the appropriate bits for the ports from the crankcase and for the exhaust, filled it with JB Weld, then removed the bits for the ports and cylinder then honed the cylinder to make it smooth.

JB weld comp into the Subaru ad was some whiplash lmao

1:48 Red Font “But seriously, if anybody at JB Weld is watching this, we love your product and you should reach out to us.”

Years ago, I worked at a parts store. I was sent to deliver parts to a local shop. When I walked in, there was an insanely clean first gen S10 sitting in the shop with the little 2.8L torn down to the block. I commented on how clean it was, and the guy said "Yeah, too bad the owner's a dumbass". Then he told me he had to replace the driver side head, because the owner had cross threaded one of the spark plugs when doing a tune up. Instead of fixing it the correct way, the owner used a regular helicoil to put a (incorrect) spark plug in it. That blew out shortly after, so the owner and his buddy decided to remove the remainder of the destroyed helicoil, and just JB Weld the plug in the hole. Then the owner decided to rev the engine, and the spark plug fired out, ricocheted off some stuff under the hood, and smacked his buddy square in the forehead. I would've paid money to see that.

I bought a new self propelled lawnmower for $27 from Lowe’s, it was the time honored tradition of some homeowner buying it and running it with no oil. I purchased a new connecting rod for $18 and cleaned it all up and patched the hole in the block with JB. I sold it to my neighbor for $50 and he still uses it to this day

Funny Facts: Some people use JB like your grandmother used that sort of super glue to fix everything like your aunt Ethel and uncle Joe used duct tap while grandpa John was using baling wire to hold everything to hold his stuff together. Funny thing happened to me on a flatly 8hp Briggs. The shortblock was shelled. My division stupvisor told me to JB it together. I told him no, you do it while I order a shortblock. JB has fixed many things. Windows in blocks but not structural dimensions. It is a great friend but not a fix all. As always, know load bearing structures prep, prep, prep. Never over used it but always respected. Mikel

Brett seems like a cool guy... but Sandro and Angelina are the dream team.

Sandro should create a day in the life vlog

The JB weld on the tailgate can be found on “lakeside auto body”. You can find it on KZfaq, he is an actual body guy. (Hence you guys noting that he had tools and seemed to know what he was doing and him doing a good job) he was making a rust repair video for those who do not have a welder to show that you can use JB weld in some scenarios depending on how major the rust is. (You can see he removed all the rust) so the repair won’t fail. It’s similar to if someone used a panel bold for the same repair. It is okay

15:01 very possible that he's helping out people who don't have a welder and/or don't know how to weld even if they had access to one. He's showing an alternative way to do it and get the same badass results

The look on Sandro's face with the JB Weld cylinder was priceless

I 100% JB Welded an exhaust manifold before. I was participating in a race, we blew a stud off the manifold and could not extract it from the head without taking the entire motor out, and even then, maybe not. So we JB Welded the manifold on to the head and finished the next 7 hours of the race. We did lose some power because it wasnt perfect, but it was better than what initially happened.

How does Sandro (and Angelina) not have their own Donut channel? It's like you don't want to be billionaires.

*At **10:02** part in the video when Brett was talking about ballooning Ford Lug Nuts, well guess what FORD is not the only brand that can have ballooning Lug Nuts. My 2011 Chevy Traverse have two ballooning lug nuts on my left rear wheel. I was so lucky that I can still get them loose and replace them with decent better made version. I guess I have to find 22.5 mm sockets for my CHEVY ballooning lug nuts.*

Sandro and Angelina need to make there own react channel it would be great...they could invite donut people on 😂😂😂

That JB Weld on a rounded bolt/nut is straight legit. I even seen a dude with a stuck spark plug do it once.

I got two stories where JB weld saved projects. First story, my brother was building a 318 dodge to put in his first car ('78 aspen) and misread the torque for the harmonic balancer as In lbs not ft lbs and tore the threads out of the crankshaft, he and my dad took the crank bolt slathered it with JB weld and put as much in the crank hole as they could. They then put the bolt in and snugged it down. next day they tightened it a little (not full torque specs but tightened it up a bit) , the completed engine run for 5 or 6 years till a water pump bolt come loose and leaked water into the engine (killed the rods and mains). we took it apart and removed the crank bolt and what was left was perfect threads that never broke. By brother built that engine from my dad's junkpile so it was already going to be eventually scrapped, so no loss if it failed. BTW this was early 1990's Second story, my hobby is RC cars and this was in the mid 2000's when Brushless motors and esc's were starting to redefine the power and efficiency of electrics. Anyways, i had a motor that started slipping and vibrating, so took it apart, the magnet was separated from the shaft I took JB weld and packed the hole in the magnet (cleaned it first of course) . set it to the proper spacing and set over night worked perfectly ever since

🫡 love you guys, but please don't eat the J-B Weld cake always repair responsibly

@4:30 a PCV valve is like the cheapest part under your hood. I just replaced mine and the part was less than $12. People are unbelievable.

OR IS IT CAKE? Lmaooo he got me I’m crying 😂

That exhaust leak! I did it like that, .... but with some engineering knowledge from my mom! She told me she used to cut open a soda can and wrapped it around the paste with some clamps! Job wel done! It was just an old fiat/seat 133 from 1976! And we got away with it! No more eshaust leak! Yes, I later replaced the whole thing for under 25 bucks! It took some time to find it!

@ 2:50 that’s my video they used! Working as a tech I’ve seen a lot of hacks, both good and bad. That car had a lot of surprises during the inspection i performed.

Sandro is the star of each of these he's in, but Jeremiah is also getting better and better in front of the camera. Love them both and they work well on separate panels/pairs.

The axle/3rd member shown starting at 7:58 is from a Toyota truck, likely an 00-06 Tundra/01-07 Sequoia. The diff unbolts from the front and the rear "cover" is permanently attached to the axle housing. The rear "cover" is thin stamped metal and gets pinhole leaks over time as they rust. You can get a weld-on replacement, swap the entire axle assembly, or apparently, goober it all up with JB Weld and send it!

Growing up working with old dudes I get told all the time, a temporary fix that works to well becomes permanent

15:48 Sandro! 😂😂 i thought it was a freeze frame for a second, and then his line. Got me cacklin

The JB on the panel at ~15 mins makes sense for old timers. Stick welder/generator is a common tool for em, and real hard to use in thin gauge like that. Everything but the bondo was probably on hand… and expect rattle can paint lol

At 3:15 when they discussed the brake drum and hub deal, it looks like they dried doing a burnout. Acceleration force on the inside trying to hold on the outside. Makes a perfect formula for that 3:45

Can confirm the problem with Ford OEM lugs. Half size socket and aftermarket replacements = no more problems.

I had a coolant leak in my old Saturn S-Series. Crack in the block. Little JB Weld to the rescue and it never leaked again as long as I owned it. Great stuff.

I fixed the rust holes on my ridgeline hood using dev con. Cleaned it up, primed it, painted oem and stopped the rust and worked for years! Couldn’t really tell either. Holes were rock chips that weren’t attended to and salty Canadian winter roads killed it.

i'm loving this channel i discovered it about three days ago and i keep binge watching it. thank you to all at real mechanic stuff and donut.

sandro trying the ramen meme killed me

One of my favorite fixes on a motorcycle I own, is literally the suggested fix by even the experts that work on them - because there never was a recall or official fix. The Suzuki SV1000 (big brother to the SV650), made between 03-07 is prone to running significantly warmer internal temps than the smaller 650 configuration. The epoxy on the flywheel stator magnets comes loose and lol for some reason the engineers didn't make any sort of bracketing system like most bikes have. So when the magnets come loose they disintegrate against the stator and send shards of ground up magnet into your engine oil. It genuinely doesnt cause any major engine issues, but it does effect the bike's ability to sustain a charge. Anyway, the recognized "fix" is to literally slap JB weld between the magnets so they cant move or come off. Yes it works.

11:20 that should be a new meme.

Sandro's reaction to last video is priceless... he looked like his mind broke for a second lol

Second the Ford Lugnut hate. I keep a box of 10 after-market lug nuts in my ST just because i know if i need to do any work on the wheels, i'm going to jack up at least 1 lugnut. They're super soft, bigger than they should be, and like the dude said, I usually have to hammer my 4-way lug wrench onto it to get it seated properly. Dorman > Ford when it comes to lug strength.

15:10 he used the JB weld and the metal to show a different alternative other than welding it.

Just found your channel and watched it for the first time. Very entertaining and had me full of giggles. Keep up the good work.

"Is it cake?" Takes the award for best line. That was perfect.

"Tried the ramen sh!t. It worked." I was sENT. The timing and delivery were perfect hahahaha

Jerry's cackling at 6:28

First off, love the channel! Now, JB weld story time. When I was in the Navy, stationed on a ship out of Hawaii. We were doing exterior maintenance on our ship when we accidentally punched a dime size hole through. So we used JB weld to seal it up, covered it with non-skid and called it good! So out there somewhere is a US Navy ship with a JB weld patched hole on the exterior skin of the ship.

I love Sandro so much in these video's, I've been binching them for the past few days now.

I love Sandro on here. Can we get Miss A back on here too please

That socket hack is 100% going in my arsenal. W for a useful JB weld trick!

JB did a great job capping off my smog pump inlet of the converter on my Monte Carlo. Capped it with a freeze plug and it worked perfect!

As the engineer in the crowd saying that which I wish was obvious to most people: EPOXY IS WEAKER IN TENSION THAN STEEL. DO NOT ASSUME THAT A POWDER REINFORCEMENT WILL STRENGTHEN ANY MATRIX IN TENSION. Even Paper-mache, the world's most kid-grade engineering composite, is better than JB-Weld in tension. Use the brown kraft paper for such, its higher tensile. Caveat on solvent and fluid compatibility. Now if you want to use JB-Weld to repair hoses, wrap the whole thing in steel foil tapeand then steel wire mesh with JB-Weld spread thin between the layers of contiguous wrapping. Use steel wire ties at the edges to hold it in place as it cures. And then don't actually trust it in any way, still sketchy.

You all broke Sandro with this episode. 🤣🤣🤣

sandros "sure buddy" told everything a fellow mechanic needs to know... aka "it really was a simple fix until you pulled out the jb weld" xD

Fixed a Ford pickup bell housing with JB Weld. The patch outlasted the truck. It was a hole about 4inches by 6inches. I did have the peace that broke out when the clutch exploded.

I just love Sandro, the urge to respect him is so much. This guy is really respectable because he knows his stuff.

That look from Sandro at the end was the best.

Broo I've had to fix that diff before, it's a toyota rear end with a pumpkin style unit. In rusty areas the rear cover leaks and you can't replace it cuz it's welded to the actual axle. I had to cut the whole back cover off and weld a new one on. Only other way to fix it besides replacing the whole rear axle

I have used JB weld on the HP side of car a/c lines a few times. It works. PREP and cure time. pulled a slight vacuum too to draw a little JB into the leak.

I had a header leak right at the port. I didn't have JB Weld, but I was able to find 2 large diameter hose clamps and three aluminum cans. I cut the top/bottom off of the cans and slit them down the side. Then I wrapped the cans around the header tube and then used the hose clamps to secure the cans. It worked for a few days until I could get the car back from the beach and to the house.

Yo Sandro has been the best addition to this channel for real.

In Vietnam during the war. My dad was a diesel mechanic. They got a catapeler doser. With a bullet hole in the block to run with JB weld.

I bought a 500 gallon dsl tank. It had small area that had been ground contact, w/ rust. Pocket knife pass thru easy. I cut back to metal, wire brush on angle grinder, clean up, JB w/support. Couple days, set up with pan under. 100 gallons fuel. *ready to pump out quick* +20 years ago. I don’t fill tank over 50%. Aluminum pan still dry

Yo the sacrificial socket on the stripped bolt is actually not a bad idea.

When is Sandro getting his own show? My guy is a star!

My cat was even disappointed in that last clip😂😂😂

This is awesome! I'd love to see an episode on steel stick fixes!

You guys should have put the low Z clip in there when it broke. Yall JB welded it and it didn’t work😂. Nolan looked genuinely pissed off 💀

Now thats a video idea : How far can you drive a car with an engine made of JB Weld?

I know what happened to that brake drum, the adjustment spreader was put on backwards and decided it wanted to do something more exciting and relocated. Then they drove the car all the way throughout the screaming of banshee, and diving for the ditch every stop, until it stopped and locked up the wheel.

Sandro is the kindof mechanic who is honest enough to teach you how to do a simple fix so you never have pay another mechanic to do it again.

Definitely not lying about the ford lug nuts. I work at a gas station and was helping this old lady with a flat tire and it felt odd losing it. I stopped and told her I think you have another problem. She told me to continue and sure enough the bolt snapped off with the nut. She wanted me to continue taking the rest off but I told her ford has this problem. She wasn’t happy but she understood

I hope they show Sandro all these comments. I see Sandro, I click.

I reshaped the corroded cooling ports on my block 10+ year's ago running 8psi and 101 octane. Never had a problem and no deposits in the cooling. It was a chemical weld like jb but was from a coal power station that they use to repair the cooling tower's.

Here in Australia I have an old Mitsubishi 4t truck and the Harmonic balance let go around the rubber seal. I tried to get the big nut off but I was scared I was going brake the bolt off in the motor, so enter everybody’s friend Mr JB Weld. I cleaned all the rubber off both components ( couldn’t believe it was still in two good pieces ) I had to make sure it sat nice and square on the part still on the engine block ( luckily I am a carpenter and I have a decent eye on me ), gave it 2 days to dry, hooked all the belts back up and thought if it can get me to the mechanic I will be happy. 4 MONTHS LATER AND ITS GOING LIKE A CHAMPION, so I thought I had better not push my luck, bought a new balancer took it to work and me and my two carpenters cracked the nut and changed it, now two years later she’s sitting in the drive way and is still my best work truck

I'm not normally a fan of the whole "watch videos of people watching videos" genre, but I've watched a couple of yours now and they're pretty entertaining so I'll make an exception yours.

15:10 welding can cause more rusting down the road if you don't use weld through primer, but if you epoxy a patch panel in it doesn't tend to rust from inside out

when you see Sandro in the intro, you know its gonna be a good one.

since I found this channel it has become one of my reg watches

Used JB to repair a sheared off heater hose attachment that had been leaking on a '93 Suburban. It held for almost 2 years before the engine blew.

at 8:47 with Sandro saying "the f*ck?" with his hand out needs to be on a shirt. lmao

LOL! watch Sandro's brain do a full on hard reboot for that last one XD

When I worked for Chrysler in the 2.0 and 2.4 four cylinder head gasket days we would use these 2 part epoxy to seal up mild pits in gasket surfaces. Always worked.

I JB welded the bottom of my oil pan on my Audi A6 years ago, went over a speed bump at work and hit a rock, split was about 2 inch long. Sorted it no problem, never leaked again!

9:05 Sandro just had a "What? No wayyyy!" moment didn't he? Hahaha love the folk you get on this channel, bunch of absolute legends

As they say "A bad workman always blames his tools". Gotta have an understanding of what the product/tool is capable of, on top of how to apply it effectively.

I love these videos guys.. always fun!

The rear differential is a Japanese truck axle (Mazda or Toyota) with rust pinholes in the rear 'cover'. These trucks don't have a differential cover - the entire axle is one piece. JB Weld worked for me on an '87 B2000 with this issue, the alternative is to replace the entire axle housing.

I'm so glad Sandro and I had the same thought "just hammer the bolt off"

7:01 it would melt before getting to 3000 degrees
