Duct tape is for amateurs, post your moments of sweet success and/or eternal infamy involving the bondo of steel here. Climbing related, dirtbag related, anything related; you report, we decide.
Seed material from some ozark mountain daredevil on jbweld.net:
"My pickup threw a rod and tore a hole in the block. I plugged the hole with large washers bolted together and sealed it with J-B WELD. That was over 50,000 miles ago; still with no loss of oil. Thanks for a remarkable product!"
Also, I present to you the world's only JB weld-grouted bathroom:
Bondo-related submissions also accepted.
How is JB weld on BBQ grills?
Great, just make sure you turn it frequently...

When I removed the drainplug and surrounding area on my car on a too fast jaunt up the gorge road, JB wel got me from mammoth to portola, down to the Bay area and back aand then as far as Grandjunction when I moved to Vail. Good stuff.

i fixed a handle on a dresser with it this afternoon as a matter of fact.
but my crowning achievement would be the rear derailler hanger on my stumpjumper. i have a replacement, but have not implimented it as my JB weld repair is still holding strong!

This is not about JB but possibly some of you have not heard what happened to the Darwin Award Winner who replaced a fuse in the fuse box beside the steering column of his truck, with a 22 caliber cartridge?

Oh, geesh, what haven't I fixed with it. A few days ago, a Cuisinart work bowl. Also recently, the driver's door of my Cherokee, my wife's sunglasses, my laptop power cord, and my harness belay loop.

Aseverely cracked aluminum oil pan on an older car. The car had bottomed out hard and had spider cracking at bottom near drain plug. Drained it for 48 hours, cleaned it inside and out, and slathered it on. Lasted for the last three years I owned the car, and showed no signs of leaking. $$$$aved hundred$$$

I hardly ever get JB to do my welding because I can weld (Braze, MIG, TIG). I did watch a mechanic repair the starter corner of an engine block with it. Worked like a charm.

you always need an engine block repair experience with the stuff.
when building up my race motor for my old Merkur i stupidly used the impact wrench for tightening the bolts on the oil pan. of course i stripped one. so i took the pan back off, found a longer bolt of the same size, threaded some nuts on it and packed the stripped hole with JB weld. i then pushed the bolt into the hole and let it cure a week. the next saturday i used the impact wrench to zip out the bolt, and reinstalled the new pan with one bolt cinched down into JB weld threads.
i just happen to have a photo taken only moments before the event.
a couple of weeks later we got the thing started for the first time. i was pretty new with the TEC-2 engine management, but got it running good enough for a couple of burns around the block. after about 20 minutes the drivetrain cut loose and then th engine died. of course, the worse possable thing had occured, the flywheel bolts had all sheared off leaving the shanks embeded into my $$$ race engineering billet crank. JB Weld to the rescue, i took some short, slightly smaller bolts and carefully JB welded them to the broken shanks, then ever so gently extracted each one. a bit of advice, don't resuse the 20 year old Ford flywheel bolts! i replaced them with bomber ARP jobbers.
