Mowgli1647545497 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have a lever arm that needs to take a pound or two of force that's snapped off its base. I was wondering if there are various forms of JBWeld for different metals? I'm not sure this is pot metal but I'm pretty sure its not pure or good steel either. The break is a clean break more like a broken epoxy joint than a weld as the lever arm and base are clearly two separate pieces and from the look of it they weren't welded together to start with. I'm hesitant to fall back to welding it because I don't know what metal it is and I can't replace the part if I mung it up with too hot a flame. Maybe braze it? A cold Welco 52? Anyway, I'd like to try epoxies first, safer I think - JBWeld, Gorilla Glue, some other epoxy - any recommendations on what might be best? thx in advance.
