Thanks guys!!!
Tapcon emailed and said because they were late shipping out the prize that they would throw in 4 Tapcon bit set also. Looking forward to post the picture of the bucket of Tapcons. I have to thank them for being very professional.

BTW I just received these Kevlar Epoxy Metal Repair kit called “Patcher” from FMP coatings. Looking forward to trying these out. Nice that it can also patch metal under water. I should be starting a thread on this kit soon. Would like to test it and show the forum.

@utopia78 man that’s cool of Tapcon to do that,

thanks for the info on the I-boxes , looking forward to see how you set them up Chris

Is that similar to the stuff they use to fix leaky radiators ?

“Patcher” Kevlar Metal Epoxy by FMP would be similar to JB Weld (same cost) and Belzona 1111 (expensive). I would assume you could use it on rads. I’m going to test it out tomorrow and review the data sheets and specs so could give more info then.

Would love to read about your experience with the underwater metal repair kit. Would I be wrong to think being able to do stuff “underwater” is a gateway to what will work in “space” eventually?
BTW Anyone weld underwater before?

I use the JB Weld epoxy puddy to fill screw holes. Like in hinges when I have to move the hing 1/8 or a 1/4 inch or if I need to move the strike plate i fill in with that stuff.

I’d be interested to see how this “Patcher” stuff turns out.
I wonder if it would hold up to a gas tank repair? One of JB’s products is specifically made for that purpose.

What colour does it dry?

[Boschmanbrian]

The one I used on my aluminum patio table leg, dries like an aluminum color, maybe a little darker, works great.

I once fixed a broken thermostat housing on my ’71 GMC 3/4 ton with JB weld to get me by. I ended up not replacing it. The patched up housing was still on it when I got rid of the truck. Tough stuff!

i think that requires a bit of schooling to do that right, it is a speciality that makes tons of money as their aren’t that many people able to do it.

Lots of amazing stories using JB Weld. It really does work if the surface is clean and grease free.

Sorry guys, didn’t get a chance to work with it today and will start the thread tomorrow so we don’t clutter up the “I got a box thread”. Looking forward to reviewing it and sharing!!

Your right! It’s very important to clean the surface and to actually rough it up a bit with some abrasive/sandpaper before applying.

I have used JB Weld to fill stripped bolt holes then drilled and tapped it and the repair worked out great.
