J-B Weld

[2] The J-B Weld Company, founded in 1969 by Sam Bonham in Sulphur Springs, Texas, specializes in epoxy products.

Initially, the company sold to automotive shops in Texas, but now distributes its products across the United States and in 27 other countries through various retail channels.

J-B Weld epoxy is a two-part adhesive that can bond various surfaces and withstand high temperatures up to 500 °F (260 °C) constantly and 600 °F (316 °C) for short periods.

It can be used as an adhesive, laminate, plug, filler, sealant, or electrical insulator and can be drilled, ground, tapped, machined, sanded, and painted when cured.

Sam Bonham, at the time running a machine shop, discovered a way to create what he called a "tougher than steel" epoxy.

"[3] Within a year of his death, Mary had opened a European hub in London, internationalizing the J-B Weld Company and the distribution of the product.

[4] Since 2008, the company has broadened the product line to add J-B SteelStik, KwikWood, PlasticWeld, MarineWeld, Perm-O-Seal, WoodWeld and ClearWeld.

J-B Weld can be used to bond surfaces made from metal, porcelain, ceramic, glass, marble, PVC, ABS, concrete, fiberglass, wood, fabric, or paper.

[14] J-B Kwik can be used to bond surfaces made from any combination of iron, steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, pewter,[14] plus porcelain, wood, ceramic, glass, marble, PVC, ABS, concrete, fiberglass, fabric, or paper.

[8][14] J-B Kwik is waterproof, petroleum/chemical-resistant (when cured), acid-resistant; plus resists shock, vibration, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
