Fresh Water Tank Repair JB Weld WaterWeld

[@user-sf9mh1ms4q]

You can try to wet your fingers with water to smooth the outside of the patch. The edges around the patch will adhere more and give it a smooth finish. Just try a very small area on your next project if you don't believe me.

You can also make your own ABS putty/glue/slurry for repairing holes and cracks. Simply take 20 or 30 ABS scrap pieces the size of pennies, put them into a glass jar, and pour in 1/4 cup of MEK (methyl ethyl ketone - its a cleaner/degreaser available at most hardware stores). Stir the mixture and let sit over night with the lid on. The next day you should have an ABS paste/slurry that you can use to repair holes and cracks that will bond with the existing ABS forming a water tight repair.

awesome I will keep that in mind for next time, thanks!

Can you use on PEX wet surface?

Year later...how’s it holding up?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

3+ years later it's holding up fine, in fact I'm writing this from in the camper

[@hermano4242]

Five long years later, still holding up?

[@keithwallick7440]

Love your camper repair series . I might have trimmed some of the excess plastic off of the tank to clean up the wounded area. Also check the installation area to see if something was rubbing or polking into your take to cause the damage.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

thanks! I will have to check if anything is rubbing, good idea

[@Nucky131973]

Just patch my tankless water heater with it let you know how it goes tomorrow

[@MastaSquidge]

So how'd it go?

[@sportsdude716]

I used it to seal a hole that had rusted through on a water pump on our ground source heat pump and it has worked flawlessly. It holds up the PSI no problem. That was like 2 years ago. It’s as hard as a rock

[@mobilehomelife4028]

@@sportsdude716 I am hooking up a brand new potable water tank, got all the pluming in and the lowest corner weld by the manufacturer leaks in the tightest spot to get to. I am going to try this stuff but it is good to see your positive results.

The packaging (and website) says it's a skin, eyes, respiratory hazard and to wear gloves, goggles, etc. Did you find it irritating on your skin?

[@διαβόητο23φάντασμα]

If your not use to all those things you do get a bad irritation.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

It didn't irritate my skin, but it may be irritating if your skin isn't used to exposure to harsh chemicals

[@Bischarch]

Wilk it work on pressure tank?

[@chimp_monke123]

and.................... how long till dry? how hard will it be when dried? will it melt like silicon when under water? you know, basic things we need to know...

[@aliciaperkins4291]

It take 25 minutes to set up and an hour to fully cure. It's water safe and doesn't melt under water. It's super hard when cured.

[@chimp_monke123]

@@aliciaperkins4291 yeah... that was three months ago... glad i didnt wait that long to take a shower...

[@JohnT2088]

Theres two types i see from jb weld: Steel stik and water weld. So im assuming water weld is meant for repairing water pipes or whatever relating to water? And the steel stik is for steel dry applications?

[@chrisE815]

Yeah I think thats accurate but the steel version has reinforcements mixed in to give you a stronger but probably less flexible result

[@fireboy5043]

U Didnt Mix it Long Enuff Bro mix til it get Hott

A statement for people who have never used the stuff. Surely you understand that as an all-intelligent high school teacher.

[@shanejared6892]

There's always got to be that one.....

[@vintagehaberdasher]

Nice vid. I would have sanded down the hole and made it flush before patching. And then done the same after. I am anal on my work. My bad.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

No worries, I left it there to provide more grip or whatever for the putty. Chances are no one will ever see it as it's a water tank for under a camper lol. If it was visible I would have made it look nice.

[@treetop1231]

If your making a video to showcase the shittiest application of this product you nailed it.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

You're* a clown

[@aDIYCarGuy]

Let me guess you need to make it perfectly symmetrical and aesthetic....it goes under a camper where nobody will ever see it.

[@Bluesidian]

the video was useful for showing the product but your patching job was sloppy as hell lol.

[@aDIYCarGuy]

it's thicc. nobody will see it so no matter

[@daverothgery7854]

I agree, no prep/sanding, no attempt to even smooth out and bond the edges, or fill the holes created. The little finger tappies had me laughing out loud though. Looks like it was fixed with bubble gum.

[@darrongreen2669]

@@daverothgery7854 but it worked. Alot of ppl just want a quick fix, not a seamless finish
