I've used many types of glues in my lifetime. "Crazy glue", "Gorilla glue", and an innemerable legion of other generic brands and variants. But I can wholeheartedly say from direct experience that it doesn't get any better than JB Weld's products. Even many other dual-chemical epoxy-based (hardener + resin) brands cannot hold up to JB Weld. . I can also vouch for the efficacy of this JB Weld "Kwik" version. Yes, it does set faster, and also cures faster (in roughly half the time, compared to the original formula). But its resulting tensil strength and long-term durability doesn't seem to be all that much compromised in exchange for this faster variety. I have recently used JB Weld "Kwik" on repairing a handful of vintage telephoto lenses which are quite heavy in their all-metal and glass construction. One of these lenses that I repaired was completely split in half (due to the lens being dropped onto concrete from a good distance). In just 6 hours of using "Kwik", the lens looks and performs as if no damage has ever been done to it! The two previously-severed ends of the heavy-gauge metal tube of the lens (made of brass) which were joined together are COMPLETELY fused, as if returning the lens to its single-body construction! This "cold-weld" glue is the real deal, because the repair looks and behaves AS IF the metal ends were actually welded together! No "Super glue" or "Gorilla glue" can do that! Not even close! . Thank you, JB Weld, for your unrivaled products! When I require reliable repair of extremely heavy severed parts (short of firing up an actual arc welder), I will continue to turn to you for my work. .

What some people may not know is that the JB Kwik weld does not get as hard, or hold as good as the standard JB Weld. This is ok, that it what making it quick does to it. I had a long conversation with JB Weld support to learn this. The slow cure JB Weld will make a stronger bond, so if you can wait a day or two, or three, regular JB Weld is what you want. I use the JB quick to hold parts in place, an hold plastic cases closed. For that it works well. if you want to remove it way after it gets hard, it can be scraped and poked to get it off. Don't try that with regular JB Weld though, it gets much harder over time. This is about knowing how to use each product so you use the right one. Also, pay close attention to the ratio of 1:1, getting too much, or little of either will alter something. Too little hardener will slow down the cure, but in a big way, too much will speed it up in a bad way. So get it right for the best results.Read full review

Superb quality - the exact same product you'll find in your hardware store for several dollars more. Delivered to your door, that's hard to beat :) I love the 5-minute JB Weld, it's about 80 percent the strength of regular JB Weld but sets up in minutes and is workable in 4-6 hours. If you don't require the full strength product but need faster bond times this stuff can't be beat. I'm using it to bond copper, steel and aluminum to each other and for my purposes (mostly low-stress) it's just as good as the heavy duty stuff. I drill, sand/shape and paint this stuff just like the metals that I'm bonding with it.

Used this stuff to patch a rusted out iron railing. Worked great so I used the rest of it to refasten a grating that was pulling away from the frame of a pasture gate - has held up well. Also used to patch a wheel barrow shaft. Fills in/glues together any metal. A little goes a long way.

This is the third "glue" I tried and this one really worked. I can think of a lot of other projects it will be great for. I was bonding two pieces of painted metal together and nothing seemed to do it. It is a little messy and dark grey but makes a very strong bond!
