Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I was talkin to a Pard the other night and he said something about Green Glue (or Goo). Anyhow, it appears that this stuff is as good (or better) than JBWeld. I know that JBW is super strong BUT, it can be chipped off. I've heard that Green Glue has to be heated and melted off. Whats the deal with both of these? thanks ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I repaired a hole with JB Weld in a Yamaha dirt bike side cover. When it hardened, I could even unscrew a bolt from one of the lugs I repaired along with the hole. It was big enough to swallow a silver dollar. I also used it on a dove tail that was too weak to hold a threaded boss for the magtube on momma's lightning. I also used it to hold a used primer for a front sight on two long guns. No issues as yet. Have not tried Green glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Widder, are you talking about the one part air dry Green glue used in carpentry. I have used it on wall board and sub flooring to joists, but haven't used the stuff on metal but I'd guess it would work. Dont know how it would act with the chemicals we use around guns if this is the glue your thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Forsyth #72674 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 JB weld was developed by an ancient Monk who loved guns, car parts, and beer. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 J.B. Weld is the third leg of the Redneck tool kit stool, the other two being WD40 and Duck Tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The only "green glue" I'm aware of is one used to repair plastics. It is the JB Weld of plastics, I do know that KW (Kenworth) repair shops use it to attach a metal support to the FRP of the hood. I've been tying to buy some for several years... they won't let it out of their sight! A two part epoxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You can't leave out baling wire! It does make a suitable substitute for the duck tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Psycho Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 If you can get your hands on some Halco Weld. You would never use JBW again. The stuff is used to hold tools down hole in oil wells. I used it to fix a pencil sized hole in my gas tank on my old car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You can't leave out baling wire! Baling wire is only known to some of us old timers. It was replaced by sisal then plastic. No longer a valid repair item. Another item that was thought to be irreplaceable was horse shoe nails. My grandfather kept his overhauls together with horse shoe nails in place of buttons.

Cutter Carl Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The Redneck Repair Guide If it doesn't move and should WD40 it. If it moves and shouldn't JB Weld it. If it's in more pieces than it should be Duct Tape it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 J-Bar, thanks fer answerin' the FRP question. And that "multi-hundred-aire"; I don't care who ya are, that was FUNNY! Baling wire is only known to some of us old timers. It was replaced by sisal then plastic. No longer a valid repair item.Another item that was thought to be irreplaceable was horse shoe nails. My grandfather kept his overhauls together with horse shoe nails in place of buttons. Balin' wire ain't as easy to find as it once was... buut for those of us who still use older square bailers, it's a necessity. And horse shoe nails are also still available. I still keep a few sizes in stock... well a couple annyway. But since neither of my horses have been shod in 4 or 5 years, what I got will last a LOOONG time. Maybe not as long as Buck's ride home from CAC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
