JB Weld is a particularly popular brand of epoxy, and features in many legends. “My cousin’s neighbour’s dog trainer’s grandpa once repaired a Sherman tank barrel in France with that stuff!” they’ll say. Thankfully, with the advent of new media, there’s a wealth of content out there of people putting these wild and interesting claims to the test. As the venerable Grace Hopper once said, “One accurate measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions“, so it’s great to see these experiments happening.

Field repairs. Decades ago I was with a friend in his car out in the middle of nowhere in Kaycee Wyoming when he went over a big bump and broke the connection to his muffler. For some reason he was pissed at me. He was non mechanical so I let hm stew in it for a bit and try the first fix. After about 2 hours he was ready. I asked him how he fixed it. It was easy, there is a big pipe that goes right over the exhaust pipe and I lashed it onto that. Um, you do realize that that pipe, um spins when the car moves… He now was *really* unhappy with me. So I took a stab at it. There was an old rusted out fence so we had lots of fence wire. We had lots of aluminum soda cans. We had lots of mud, we had some metal skewers and roll of aluminum foil for cooking.. His moronic fix was actually helpful as it kept the parts aligned, even thought I had to tear it out before we actually took off. He lucked out in that the crack was on a long piece of pipe going from the engine to the muffler so there was a lot of area on both sides to wrap stuff around. Soda cans with mud and the skewers to keep things aligned, lots of fence wire, aluminum foil over that, more fence wire, and another go round of cans. The repair was thick but the car purred and we made it another thousand miles until he decided he needed to get it “fixed”. That took a few stops to find someone who was both inexpensive and willing to weld near the gas tank that one guy said was weeping a bit. He got it fixed. Everybody got a good laugh out of my fix. 300 miles down the road the welding job failed going over a bump. My fix may have been ugly, but it was flexible.. I wound up taking greyhound back home. Depending on where you are you fix things as best as you can. [links]

Because you left your volume too low and he thinks you can’t hear him.

I agree with Crew Chief that you probably don't want to put the CB on the ceiling of the cab anyway. That said if you prep the surface well the J-B should do the trick. more

But recently I was considering installing a CB radio in my truck on the headliner between the sunvisors. here

[Pogo]

Trust me I've search and researched every possible location and have narrowed it down to 2. on the ashtray which then will somewhat obscure the radio plus the truck is a manual so I run the risk of crashing my hand into the radio when I shift. and the other spot is the headliner.

I J-B welded a spark plug thread repair bushing into an aircooled bug head many years ago , it held up fine. (the bushing was wanting to stick to the sparkplug and come out with it, not the best thing for changing plugs..

Repeat step three until you cannot easily rotate the the tap handle clockwise anymore. here

Taps are sharp. Do not handle the teeth.
