🔧 JB Weld ClearWeld: A Crystal-Clear Solution for Versatile RepairsAs someone who regularly tackles DIY projects around the house, the JB Weld ClearWeld Quick Setting Epoxy has caught my eye as a potentially invaluable tool. After putting this transparent adhesive to the test, I'm excited to share my comprehensive review.One of the standout features of the ClearWeld is its impressive 5-minute setting time and 1-hour curing process. This rapid bonding ability allows me to quickly and efficiently complete repairs, whether it's mending a cracked tile or sealing a broken plastic component. The convenience of this fast-acting formula is a definite plus, as it minimizes the downtime and hassle associated with some traditional epoxy adhesives. 🕰️The versatility of the ClearWeld is another major selling point. Boasting the ability to bond a wide range of materials, including tile, plastics, ceramic, glass, wood, and metal, this epoxy has quickly become a go-to solution for my diverse array of DIY projects. The clear, transparent finish it leaves behind also makes it an excellent choice for repairs that need to blend seamlessly into the surrounding area. 🧱In terms of strength, the ClearWeld delivers impressive results, with a tensile strength of 3,900 PSI. This level of bonding power ensures that my repairs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and long-lasting. The unique dispensing system, which allows for easy resealing and prevents air from curing the epoxy prematurely, further enhances the product's usability and convenience. 💪While the majority of customer feedback on the ClearWeld has been positive, with users praising its setting time, ease of use, and strong adhesion, a few have reported minor issues with the product's consistency and odor. These concerns, however, don't seem to be widespread and may be dependent on individual user experiences.In conclusion, the JB Weld ClearWeld Quick Setting Epoxy is a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of DIY repairs and bonding tasks. Its fast-acting formula, transparent finish, and impressive strength make it a must-have addition to any well-stocked toolbox. Whether you're mending a broken item or seeking a discreet way to secure a new component, the ClearWeld is an excellent choice that I can confidently recommend. 🌟

This product's strength lies in the speed at which it adheres and forms a strong-enough bond. Even though full strength is not achieved for 24 hours ( that needs to be said ) it does "go-off" in around 5 minutes - and that means whatever is being stuck together has a better chance of staying together.If you're working with two pieces that can be readily clamped together then a traditional epoxy will perhaps produce a stronger bond, I won't pretend that I know either way for sure, however in my experience is the real challenge is holding what I want to glue together in a firm and consistent way for the many hours needed to get that proper bond.If the "things-to-be-bonded" are regular in shape etc then there is little issue, in a vice or a clamp, or just a level surface, and we're done. However, when say fixing things together that are oddly shaped, so fragments of something wishing to stay broken (thanks gravity), one can hardly stand for hours on end holding the bits together. Using tape and clamp/s etc can help, but only if it's possible to get good purchase on the parts and too many times I have returned to find more irregular shaped things have moved; either failing to bond or bonding misaligned.On this occasion I had a shattered plastic "bumper" body panel from machine to repair, where nothing is regular and the object itself is relatively bulky. With this product I had the ability to get the jigsaw together in a timely fashion - and the pieces (aided by some masking tape) stayed where they need to be.(In the interests of the narrative once the shattered panel was pieced together I reinforced it with fibreglass and resin, but to get there I needed it to be firmly together, this product achieved this, and was strong enough to support the mended panel being manhandled on the bench before reinforcing, and the product did sand back at least as well as the plastic itself)In conclusion the best two pack epoxy glue I have used.

Brilliant …

As the advert says, it's great for mending and patching crockery and cups; the bone china mug handle that I glued back on is standing up well to daily use, and it was a great help (mixed with a little gold mica) in filling in a chipped ceramic bowl. I've even used it to adequately fixed a cracked bamboo cup.It's also easy to use and comes a stirring stick and a mixing plate built into the packaging. It's also much better for small quantities and odd jobs than the large containers. Although I would advise waiting a bit after mixing and applying to surfaces before trying to join the break. As otherwise you will be sat very still for 5 minutes, trying to hold the pieces together without shifting them even slightly, lest the pieces become dislodged during this time (very easy to do).The curing time of 24h+ seems accurate, although I would advise leaving for longer, as the polymer can appear still malleable, and almost mouldable, within this window in some case.Where it falls down is with robustness and lasting adhesion in more porous/ natural materials, such as antler, bone, wood,... especially if the fixing points are small (such as on a ring). In these materials/ at these scales, the fix doesn't really hold past a couple of uses (or 24h of wear for a ring) - at least that has been my experience.Pros:- Easy to use- Fairly quick- Much less wastage than larger containers, and the air-tight anti-mixing cap seems to do it's job well- Adequate instructions (with a few experience-based modifications)- Great for ceramics & crockeryCons:- Really not great for bone, antler, etc.- Not great for small surface area joins, in terms of setting times and overall robustness
