Yep. I've used it on ABS many times (keep the part above 55-60 degrees. Do ypu have a vice, C-clamp that can squeeze the crack shut and still be able to get a hose clamp on it? 1. Spray the crack with a small ahot of BrakeClean and wipe the inside at the crack with BC sprayed on a papertowl. 2. Rough the inside of the area at the crack with 80 or whatever sandpaper about 1/4 - 3/8 on each side of the crack. 3. Get a hose clamp that's the dia. of the tube. 4. Take a piece of masking tape and put it on on side of the crack with 2 in. left hanging. 5. Mix the JB and put a little (sparingly) in the crack. Push the crach together with the C-clamp or vice. Put the rest of the masking tape on to keep the JB from squeezing out. If too much has sqeezed out, remove it with a papertowel saoked with a shot of BC. Then put the hose clamp on and tighten it just enough to keep the crack closed. Put additional JB on the inside covering the rough uped area (you can sand it later). Let this cure with the crack pointed straight down because JB will flow until it cures. Andy, more than metal, from JB: What does it bond to? Virtually any combination of iron, steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, pewter, porcelain, ceramic, marble, glass, PVC & ABS, concrete, fiberglass, wood, fabric, paper -- just about any porous and non-porous material. |
