Can You Fix a Cracked Wheel with JB Weld??

[@BMSmouthers]

follow up update: the JB Weld did seal the crack without any leaking! So it did 100% work.

[@Domthedon33]

Update?

[@BlacktopHeroes]

thnx bro! im working on my telsa lol...

[@ThaKidChillz]

Awesome content, just picked up a set of stairs that I’m gonna try this on

[@Love_speech]

It’s leaking because the tire isn’t fully sealed because u put jb welds in the inside u can fix it by sanding the inside of the rim till it’s flush with the edge of the rim and tire and then sand with a 1000 grit to kind of give it a polished seal that would help it seal

[@2VShiesty]

I also tried this yesterday after seeing this video a few weeks ago I let the rim sit over night when I put it on it did seep a lil air use some bead seal now it’s all good I would 100% recommend thanks bro much love

[@BMSmouthers]

I’m glad to hear man! I was very sceptical about it, but it cost little to no money so it was definitely worth a try! Glad you got your leak all situated man!

[@alpheusbevans9933]

How long it lasted?

[@2VShiesty]

@@alpheusbevans9933 four months recently use it on my rear fender still holding on strong

@@2VShiestyhow is it going with the wheel my wheel is also cracked

[@2VShiesty]

@@LuisGonzalez_92tillinfinity it still held up but I don’t have the car anymore just make sure to sand it down to make it smooth

[@Mrwinecontreras]

I have 2 cracked rims and I’m looking at your video to do this to my wheels 🤟 thanks a lot for posting this !!

[@obsrango]

How have they been holding up bro??

[@BMSmouthers]

No problem! Surprisingly it actually worked. Wouldn’t recommend riding on it like that forever, but it works for a quick job. And would recommend putting it in the back as well

[@AntonioRodriguez-ml9qt]

I got the same problem with my rim he crack for inside i gonna do that bro. Thanks for you advice.

[@mr.blanco6763]

How u do

[@maleekjohnson7973]

4:59 “Let’s Pull this Weed Ou…Wheel Out” 🤣😂🤣

[@funfun5656]

if you were to grind down the JB weld so it seats even there would be no leak there. Either that or just throw some bead sealer on it. I know you already sold the wheels but someone else might find this info useful.

[@MOAB-UT]

Replace the rim. It 's the only safe option. I studied Engineering buy my groomer knows that crack promulgate further in- to areas that paste cannot reach. You also did not tape off or prep (sand) the area correctly. it was tacky because you put it on very thick. Never use a heat gun. That heats the OUTSIDE only. Sealing in the wet material so it does not cure evenly. Yes, the outside will feel rock hard, but inside is what matters- sort of like bodybuilders who take steriods to look good on the outside.

[@MStar10]

so what you reco the exact steps are if using the same product? thanks

[@MOAB-UT]

@@MStar10 Read the instructions son. It's not rocket science.

[@darrellwilson5808]

JB weld when needed! FT world! 🌎

[@godslove8767]

Put a plastic shopping paper bag between the tire and rim and you good to go. Works like magic in Africa 😂😂

[@Ap0CaLiPeS1996]

Duck tape and glue work it's well

[@FranciscoMaldonado-zv5re]

Hola es duradero?

[@dj_jazz]

plastic or paper? 🤔🤔

[@brittanywright9646]

@1:29 you can see the rim is bent. You shoulda straightened it out first before using the jb weld.

[@FranciscoMaldonado-zv5re]

Es una soldadura en frio , si el trabajo esta bien hecho dará resultado

[@glxykikz5933]

Got a minor crack on the outside of my rim using it

[@quavionlewis2557]

going try my 300srt rim tmr ill let you know how it go

[@FranciscoMaldonado-zv5re]

Hola... dura mucho el sellador?

[@Layered_vision]

Mannn i did this exact thing today on my e90 then looked at videos. Glad i seen this one. I didnt tink to pry the tire away from the lip 🤦‍♂️ glad i seen this vid, gonna have to go back out there and do that! Is it holding up good?

[@BMSmouthers]

Honestly it’s been holding! It’s got a tiny leak next to the crack where the ib weld isn’t letting the tire seat against the rim. & I blame myself because I just lathered it on where the tire seats so it’s an unlevel surface. But the crack itself isn’t leaking anymore!

[@Layered_vision]

@@BMSmouthers hell yeah! Ill be sure to try and coat it evenly, cause i damn sure aint taking the tire off haha. I dont mind a slow leak till my replacement gets here. The leak mine had leaked down every 2 days. 😅

[@lorenzooo0029]

Literally outside doing this rn. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@Layered_vision]

@@lorenzooo0029 I'd do it. So far its holding up for me like the video says.

[@BMSmouthers]

@@lorenzooo0029 hopefully it works for ya!

[@jesseruffin1182]

It work you just left too much inside the tire ain't burning to the rim

[@SteveN-pw4dj]

The leak is because you got the jb weld on the bead i guess.

[@chhansen9813]

Youll need to offset the tire balance with a weight now.

[@BMSmouthers]

Obviously. Wheels got sold as is.

[@taeyonghyung232]

Would this work on a bicycle rim?

[@Youngtruckerdee]

Did it seal the tire to the rim?

[@BMSmouthers]

It did! Just had to be rebalanced!

[@senorbonbon]

@@BMSmouthershow do you rebalance it?

[@RaphaelFernandezBeliachi]

Do you need to do a 50 50 ratio? Can you just buy the black bottle? Thank you

[@BMSmouthers]

I mixed it about 50/50 ratio. It’s one part cream & one part hardener, then they somehow chemically react and turns rock hard

[@alextrotman2743]

I would opp for putting these wheels on the back of the motor, safety first

[@BMSmouthers]

Yes most definitely. Any bent/damaged wheels I would always recommend putting in the rear. 🤝🏼

[@James-rg1pp]

Hey hows it going- is it still holding up?

[@BMSmouthers]

I ended up selling the wheels, but yes after 24 hours it held air!

[@alpheusbevans9933]

You ever heard if it held up with new owner, ?

[@molluscturtle]

Did the guy who bought the wheels know about this?

[@BMSmouthers]

Yes sir

[@FranciscoMaldonado-zv5re]

Entonces funciona?

[@Oneway444_]

Rim was cracked then I stumbled across your vid and I just tried it 👍🏾

[@FranciscoMaldonado-zv5re]

Que tal fue? Duró mucho tiempo?

[@joesatosa4792]

Nothing wrong with it just need to clean the rim through the inside 😂 well, then it is a better option

[@BMSmouthers]

Yeah if I had a tire machine I definitely would have removed the tire and did it correctly, but for a last minute quick diy fix, it did the trick.

[@ivlark1]

Bead lock? Naw Jb weld lock XD

[@BMSmouthers]

Aha right! Follow up: surprisingly it held! I was amazed.

[@jeffemory6615]

Goober spent more time making this video with the cool soundtrack then actually working on the Wheel.

[@kushtalkent2930]

Does this work on alloy rims ?

[@TomAttoe-zm5ht]

Yep, I’m definitely going to drive down the road at 120 KMs an hour with a wheel held together with glue 😂

[@BMSmouthers]

I mean, i personally wouldn’t neither. lol but hey, everything is always at your own risk 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@darrylgeorge6706]

Did it lasts

[@BMSmouthers]

So far no leaks from the actual crack.

In my city it would cost $30 for tire removal/installation, $15 for balance, plus a minimum $125 for the weld!
