dan2116 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Has anyone tried to repair a broken Do It jig mold . DO It suggested JB weld but thought I would ask if anyone has attempted this kid of repair with any success. Quote
Michigander Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Was going to suggest JB Weld or any other 2 part metal epoxy. Go to the exhaust section of your local auto parts store. Quote
dan2116 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 I found a JB weld Extreme heat but reviews were not good but pretty extreme pressure conditions. If I can find the extreme heat type locally I will try it. Thanks Quote
cadman Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 It is cast aluminum, see if a sheet metal shop can possibly weld it for you, or at least fuse the seams 1 Quote
dan2116 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 That was my second choice if the JB does not hold. There is no real pressure on the hinge point if you oil before each use. Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 11, 2020 Super User Posted February 11, 2020 Check with Phil's Pro shop in Redding if they know someone who can weld cast aluminum alloy like A356. Tom Quote
dan2116 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 I never thought to ask Chris at Phils if he could weld it. Will do that when in the shop again. Quote
