[QUOTE="Oddagus, post: 136518, member: 2439"] Sometimes the JB weld is not applied correctly and that will fail too. One way to prevent any type of epoxy from failing is to use aluminum screen wire as a reinforcing. This work when you have a crack, split, or small hole. If you have a split or crack, drill a small hole at the ends of the crack to help prevent the crack from getting bigger. I use the 3m 5200 a lot on boats and it's good stuff for sealing and adhering, sometimes it's too good, can't get the stuff off. It's not great in an area that is subject to abrasion. [/QUOTE]
