My friend Jim LaFreeda turned me on to this glue. I received my resin package and one body was damaged. Superglue was a mess! This new stuff was simply amazing! Any shorted areas on resin bodies were reinforced with this! Love it!

It’s likely similar to bondic, laser bond(?) and this RapidFix stuff. It is great for filling small defects. I have even used it to cast tiny parts like door handles, shifter knobs and headlight lens. The two I have used claim to be adhesives….but the adhesive properties are not that great. Don’t know how well laser bond or that JB stuff sticks?

I agree.

Laser Bond, (which is the one that I have used) works great for casting small parts, (as long as they’re not too thick) and is a terrific alternative for mock-ups, but doesn’t bond particularly well.

That’s why it works so nice for mock-ups.

You can very easily disassemble parts after they’ve been glued together.

Interested to know if the JB stuff is any better.

I use JB “Clear Weld” 2 part epoxy all of the time, and love it!

JB Weld 2-part has ALWAYS been good to me. my problem is that I have no patience to wait for stuff to set up and cure.

George told me about JB's Superweld over the weekend and I went out to Home Depot and picked some up.  When George recommends something so highly, i can always count on whatever to be "Da Bomb!"

Guess what?  JB Superweld is "DA BOMB!"
