Which Epoxy Putty Brand is Best? JB Weld, Gorilla, Oatey, POR 15, QuickSteel, PC-7

BRANDS TESTED: Oatey, JB Weld, Hercules, POR 15, EP-400, Gorilla, QuickSteel, Loctite, KBS NuMetal, Pratley, A+B, and PC-7. Epoxy putty brands were tapped and threaded, then tested for strength. Brands also used to repair pipes with holes, then pressure tested. Epoxies tested for compressive strength. Finally, some of the epoxies used to repair chain and also used to repair a damaged cylinder head.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@SIXPACFISH]

@@ProjectFarm How do you do that? What is your background?

[@tarstarkusz]

Actually, the shortcoming of the testing is that it only goes to failure. It would be useful to know how long these strong materials can withstand 1/2 of the force it took to make the product fail. Like if it can hold 1000 pounds before breaking, can it hold 500 indefinitely? In my experience, epoxy rarely fails instantly. It lets go after some extended use.

[@BIGREDTECH]

@John Flower I like ur idea!

[@alexamerri2]

@@tarstarkusz That is a valid point. I do think that most epoxy uses are temporary and not meant for long-term/"permanent" fixes. That said, perhaps Project Farm can apply a repair with a selection of the top-rated epoxies and leave the repaired piece exposed to a year's worth of elements/use and see how point of failure tests result after time has passed?

Great vid. I've seen PC-7 work where JB weld failed. I was sealing a leak on a boat lower unit housing, probably most similar to your pipe PSI test. Tried JB weld first and it held for a little while but then lost it's bond and came off. Tried PC-7 and it stuck. Never had a problem with it again. I've never used Numetal, which seemed pretty impressive too. One more thing I can add about PC-7 is I've had the same containers of it for like 30 years and it still works great.

I like JB Weld, too. But they’re not giving it away for free. A genuine comparison of the different brands of epoxy putty would be the holding power per dollar. Not the holding power per ounce. Anyone can manufacture very expensive epoxy putty. This fellow appears to offering a comparison, but as you may note, all the products fall within a specific price range; from expensive to very expensive. How much does equivalent epoxy putty cost per ounce in Mexico City? Or Shanghai? Probably a lot less. We need country by country price comparisons. Not just domestic price comparisons.

Let me ask: If an exact equivalent of JB Weld were for sale in Mexico City for 80% less, would you be happy with the higher price in America? Probably not. American workers are being asked to accept lower wages because of globalization. Therefore they should also get lower prices. But our prices are increasing very rapidly.

I've tested a lot of epoxies over many years and by far the best is J-B Weld Steel Reinforced Epoxy with a 4-6 hour set time. As you found in your tests, the slow cure epoxies perform far better than the quick epoxies.

[@TingTingalingy]

Are you going by the time on the package? Most confuse working time with cure time and have poor results because of this. All epoxies should cure 24 hours before experiencing any stresses

[@johnbenedict4940]

@@TingTingalingy At room temperature, J-B Weld™ sets in 4-6 hours to a dark grey color. Full cure is reached in 15-24 hours. J-B Weld™ has a tensile strength of 5020 PSI and sets to a hard bond overnight. It can withstand temperatures up to 550⁰ when fully cured.

[@PendragonDaGreat]

@@TingTingalingy The packages on some of them (example Quiksteel at 6:18) directly claim on the packaging full cure in 1 hour. Project Farm let everything sit for at least 48, so it's definitely not that they didn't have time to cure. Curing being a chemical process makes sense that ones designed to go slower end up stronger, more time for longer polymer chains and stronger crosslinking between the chains.

[@MMAFightMagazine]

@@TingTingalingy "MOST [...people using epoxies...] confuse working time with cure time and have poor results because of this." Are you basing this on anything, or did you just make it up? I don't doubt that there will be some subset of people that are impatient and can't be bothered to wait etc. But for you to state that MOST people are confusing those terms... is simply untrue.

Just my 2 cents, with a broken chain you can also use a hardened steel bolt, nut and a handful of fairly large hardened washers to temporarily mend a broken chain. Thank you for the video. I have a whole new respect for JB Weld.

I've been a Pisten Bully mechanic at one of North America's largest ski resorts for 28 years. Sometimes operators will rip most or all of the belts on a track. We chain the tracks together using bolts to connect loops of chain, then drive the cats back to the shop to replace the belts.

That was some GREAT testing! Fun to watch. I've been a QC Manager most of my life and these tests along with your other videos are truly impressive. I used the JB Weld product in your video to repair the front of my aluminum boat 10+ years ago. The anchor would bump and rub the front interior at the V while in transit, and rubbed a hole in it, I think the repair is stronger than the aluminum the boat is made of. It's also completely water proof.

Not to mention the amount of educational value (trial & error & MONEY saved for any viewers)... Excellence. The “chain repair” massive materials WASTE was a bit weird and I’m certain could’ve been put to much better use (like future projects or giveaways to people who don’t even have a job let alone the great fortune to purchase all this stuff just to toss it out), but whatever! This was so impressive that it doesn’t matter. I’m a JB WELD user, and have crafted the most unusual repairs from it that have never failed, but I think Hercules (a product I’ve never even HEARD OF until now) gets added to my lineup next..

Great video and methodology! I have been using the original JB Weld for many years and it is an excellent product. I have not tried the variant used in the video but it worked well too. Several years ago, I fixed a stamped blower housing with a cracked bolt hole on a Briggs and Stratton 5HP engine. I sanded both sides down to bare metal, mixed the JB Weld and "glued" steel flat washers on both sides. The repair was very strong and has been durable. I have also fixed leaking gutters with JB Weld and again... fantastic results. Thanks for an excellent video and unbiased testing! 😊👍

Firstly, thanks a lot for putting in the time, effort and expense to conduct this comparison. Been using JB Weld for 60 years and always had excellent results. Glad to learn I've been choosing wisely all that time and I plan to continue except for pressure applications. I've used it for gluing in a spark plug on an aluminum head; sometimes it would go a hundred miles before it popped out. Also to repair a leaking main seal on a washing machine tub which worked like new for two years and then I sold it. I've heard it's good for rusted car sheet metal if you're selling it.
