I have used JB Weld once before, I found it not as strong as I hoped. yesterday I bought JB Weld putty to do some repair work, after 20 hours, it is still soft and finger nail can dent or scratch it easily, I can't imagine it has 300psi tensile strength as claimed, it will be lucky to be 10psi. Is epoxy overrated or just JB Weld sucks?
is there a good epoxy that will be as hard as rock? |

http://www.westsystem.com/ss/ you will thank me later  Listen to this - he knows what he is saying. West System is heinously expensive, but worth every fucking penny!! Going from JB Weld to West System is like going from an RG to a Colt Python. A can of resin, hardener, and some proportioning pumps will probably set you back around $100 instead of the $6.95 for JB Weld, but you'll be glad you did! |

If your not using it in a high temp application, golf club epoxy is great stuff. It has excellent adhesion and shock resistance. It's the epoxy used to hold the club head onto the shaft. It also comes in black.
