Yep I had some real awful cracks around the hinge pins on my Rolleiflex 3.5f door and amazingly JB Weld has sealed and strengthened the aluminum back in place!

Yep really loving this camera for well timed portraits and street shots. And feel free to share stories of DIY fixes :smile:

As a retired motorcycle mechanic I can certainly attest to the endless uses of this product:D. Peter

I had a Toro lawn mower that someone had fixed a hole in the engine with JB Weld it held for decades before I GOT IT.

Amazing! That's awesome :smile: yeah I was worried when the back began to crack but then thought back to my auto mechanic days myself and figured I should give it a shot.

I had a neighbor who made an entire fan blade for his BMW out of JB Weld. Ugly, but worked.

Here is a fun JB Weld video:

The patch on my engine was in a decidedly low pressure situation. The kid that had it before me bought it from a fellow that rebuilt mowers. This unit had a 4 HP Tecumseh engine that had thrown a piston rod. The rod punched a 1 inch hole in the engine case. This was essentially a crankcase, had a breather vent to ambient pressure . That mower was a Toro Whirlwind magnesium deck mower. Best mower I've ever used . Oil bath air cleaner, keep a sharp blade it would throw grass 30 feet. Decidedly unsafe in the wrong hands. The ignition failed, and I had a big rider mower when I moved to the country . I wish I had kept that machine. The deck was a cast magnesium deck . Incredible.

I repaired a 2 HP hot tub pump impeller 9 years ago with Industrial JB Weld. It' still going strong today.
