 East Central Arkansas | I am trying to patch a aluminum air compressor line with JB weld and the only way to keep it from running off the line is to continually turn the line around by hand trying to keep the stuff where I want it. I got one coat on last night but I am trying another coat this morning. I though using more of the hardener in the mix would help but it didn't seem to help any. |

 Monticello Ar | Try some all steal or all weld. It will set prety quick no worry bout run either with it being putty. |

 Northwest Texas Panhandle | They have jb weld quik that works great for things like this. We had a hole in the grain bin on our combine and tried to patch it with regular jb weld but it ran too much and wouldn't dry quickly at all. The jb weld quik dries within a few minutes and the dried before the glue started running. |

| Northern Iowa | AR Plowboy - Im thinking we put a trouble light on the JB once it was applied and it helped it set faster - Let us know if that helps , steve |

| East Central Arkansas | So I guess thats the problem. It seems like sometimes before when I would be using it for some thing it would set up faster than I wanted it to. I must have had the quik set. |

 Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | Yes, use the big tootsyroll epoxy stick.(sold under many brand names) mix the white internal hardner into the black outside epoxy / iron powder to form the gray epoxy paste. It is thick enough to stay in place and is as tough as the runny stuff. Either type may not work if the line is close to the compressor, The stuff starts to soften at a little over 200 degrees and falls apart at 400 degrees http://www.zorotools.com/g/00062764/k-G1150642?utm_source=google_sh...Edited by Jon Hagen 11/10/2011 17:04 |

| Woodbury county | I have used JB kwik lots of times.....also have used Bondo and there are lots of places that it works very well. Bondo sets up in just a couple of minutes..... |

| East Central Arkansas | I tried holding in front of the space heater and that seemed to make it run more. |

| East Central Arkansas | I ended up with just using a small fan to blow room temp air on it. That seems to be helping or it was just ready to start curing anyway. |

| Davenport, Washington | Rotate it while you use trouble light or hair dyer. Will harden in minutes. By the way it does get soft again at higher temps. If you want to get JB apart just torch it. |
|
|
 | Either use JB Quik as others mentioned or mix the JB weld & let it start to settup before applying to the area you want to patch. |

 West Chazy, New York | It's an epoxy, so should cure faster with heat. Another trick is to embed a piece of window screen in the putty to hold it until it sets up. |
|
|
 White Stone, Virginia | x2 on the window screen, but heat, while making it cure faster will also tend to make it thinner until it starts tacking up. |
|
|
| Exactly, what I was gonna say. The JB Quick is definitely the way to go. |
