Wink Weld

I have just been introduced to a chemical weldng substance that would be ideal for repairs to badges lug's ect it is sold by www.westfalia.net and it's name JBWELD I tried it out on an old badge with quite reasonable results. It is rather pricy at £9.99 but would last a long time

JB WELD, now there is a blst from my past. I recall my boss telling me to use some of that stuff on a cracked automobile carburator in about 1982. Worked great. Never thought of using on badges.

Hello Blzzard,I have checked JBWELD and WESTFALIA, what's the difference then with the two-part epoxy more commonly used here in North America?

Jo JBWELD is, or at least was, very popular here in Canada. If you check with your local UAP or whatever the local automotive supply store is, they likely have it on the shelf.
