JB weld tuber? Ok, so here is what im thinking. I have no idea how to braise, dont even know how to spell it, but i want a tuber look of my own. Its not going to be a chassis, its just gonna bolt on to my existing chassis (stock axial) Has any one tried using J.B. weld with brake tubing. Because with my lack of craftsmanship, thats all i can handle. So basicaly what i'm asking is will J.B.weld bond brake tubing? |
Yes it will but it won't last. JB weld will loose hold of the tubing then it will start to break up and fall apart pretty quick. I used JB weld just to Mock up a tube chassis design once but that was a pain. then we ran it for fun and it lasted about 4 good tumbles off a rock before it started coming apart. If you still want to try scuff up the ends of the tubing so it gets a better grip maybe even tie wire the pieces and jb weld so it's a stronger joint. But youd be surprised how easy it is to braze, you'll mess up in the begining then you be a brazing god. Plus it only runs about $40-50 dollars for adecent little brazing kit with rods and all. |
Come by and Ill teach you to braze... its really easy! The main thing is to get the tube clean and then hot enough. I use Map with a turbo torch no oxygen tank. Just get the tube to glow and then apply the solder (of course you need to have fluxed it first) |
i told him to go flux himself, he didnt think it was as funny as i did |
hey littlewojin , cut and tape all your tube together and take it to a of your local muffler shops tell them what your doing and most fo the time they will do it for free. i've done four or five for some people give it a try. |
