Are JB Welds any good?

Does anyone know if JB welds are any good? I was going to use it on my BOV and oil return flange (w/gasket). Will this be good enough, or will it be really shity?

JB Weld works very well on metals, not so on plastics...

JB rules!!!

Ya' it`ll work, but why not just weld?

JB has yet to fail me. Its been holding the multiple leaks on my radiator together for 2 years now, lol. Also held my shift linkage until I could weld it.

I always have some in my glove box, cause` ya never now when....

Re:Are JB Welds any good?

jb weld is a little packet of two different mixes. its rubbery but makes a solid bond. i would use this on a flange to the oil pan tap, but sure as hell not a bov as that may leak eventually.

jbweld is the ---- and you can get it at any parts store.
