kawa110 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 loctite makes a machinable product like jb. I have used it to repair worn electric motor shafts, bearing races. I used on a d44 housing output shaft. green tube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keno Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 In the jetski world, it is usually either original JB weld or Devcon aluminum Liquid for filling case voids, extending sealing area, or for case porting. The original JB Weld thins and pours nicely when warmed and is typically cheaper. Just be sure to overfill the area a little as there will be shrinkage as the epoxy cures.

Envoyé de mon SM-N975W en utilisant Tapatalk no there are multiples but the original works the "best" for this. but only works for a little while. if you have zero money in this sled then go for it.. but for patching a crank case id be tig welding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not saying this didn't happen to you, but it wasn't with original JB weld. I've had JB weld holding a magnet to a fuel float in a jetski gas tank for over 10 years.
