Does JB Weld conduct electically? Any clues?

No it does not. It is an insulator according to their website. I needed a conductor but this would not work.

I used j-B Weld. it did a great job. I have also used it on several other things including fixing the plastic molded hing on a waffle maker. the stuff just works.

James,I would give it one winter before the welds would give. As I didn't keep this item, I am speculating. Save yourself the aggravation and money and buy an alternative.

Yes. This welding machine operates at both 110V and 220V. It performs at the high end of it's capabilities at 220V though. Works well with both, but really has power with the higher power source. Please go to Youtube and type in the model and Longevity has representatives who present a full video on the machine.

It welds very well with stick, haven't tried the tig. Light portable and plugs in to 110 or 220

I did try lock rite didn't help also did beer can shims. Never try jb weld bet it would work. The rings I used where also the low ones did fine

It welds aluminum fine . Ive done several jobs with it for aluminum, all small stuff nothing over 1/8 thickness .never had a problem with the machine just takes a few trys to find the sweet spot for the balance and frequency

I will say, "yes" you can weld 1/4 steel plate with this weld. Overall, it's not a bad machine however, there are some issues I have with it. Primarily it is the machines ability to provide the welding wire at a specific speed & the voltage/current as well. There's just something about these variables that fluxuate enough during a weld that make it difficult to get the penetration of your weld. What I've done is find my settings & then move them up slightly, problem is you'll blow right through then metal & thicker workpieces (like 1/4") you'll have it wide open. So yeah, it can weld 1/4", if it was for structure or a frame, I'd look elsewhere. I will say, "yes" you can weld 1/4 steel plate with this weld.

I have not welded exhast pipes, but I welded other material about the same thickness and it works quite well. You just have to select the proper settings.

Depends on what your welding usually it's fine with the setting on low if it is on high it will burn through easily, and yes if you touch the welding wire to the metal that had the ground clamp on it it will weld without pulling the trigger

I took it to a welder and he welded an extension on it, haven't used it yet waiting for weather to be good but am sure it will work fine.

Yes, the machine runs on 220v or 120v. You are able to weld at about 190 amps at 220 volts but only about 130 amps at 120 volts. Very handy to have the option to use either.

Watch what type you get. There are several different types of jb weld. If you get the one that's more like metal, then yes, it should hold pvc to steel.

Excellent. I have welded 3/8 successfully, but I am a long time experienced welder and know how to make the most of the heat. Welds 1/4" easily. It will blow through the 24 or 22 gauge on highest setting if you're not careful.

No, it's their Plastic Weld product....if you need to repair metal, use the normal JB weld...Key is to prep the heck out of the surface you are going to adhere the JB weld to.Good Luck!

I'm sure it would work on a small piece, but I would use some type of construction adhesive over JB Weld for that. If you do decide to use it,make sure you let it set 24 hours to cure before moving or messing with it.

No, but you can put a dab of JB weld on it to stop it from turning, works for me
