Drying Time for 2 Part Epoxy

[DerbyDad03]

It's been 11.5 years since the question was asked.

Trust me, it has cured by now. Go ahead and use the repaired part.

It's an 11.5 year old package. Maybe the labeling has worn off.

You couldn't stuff a polyethylene bag in the hole to get home? Figures!

I used it to fill in a sharp dent in a steel frame and I had a heck of a time getting it to stay put! I would shape it with the putty knife just right and come back half hour later and it had sagged ...over and over again I did this until it "went off" and set ...by then some had sagged and remained sagged so I had to add more and wait ANOTHER day or so! Would have been effort ahead to rotate the frame (which would have been difficult) so gravity held in the jb weld! ....even then it would have taken multiple applications ....on a more positive note the repair was like flawless finally! The stuff is fairly easy to file and sand ...and once painted? The dent was GONE from view!

JB KwikWeld sets in 6 minutes. The tensile strength is lower but if you were filling a dent that may not matter.

Boy I bet that added a lot of structural strength to the frame! Couple coats, sanded, then some undercoating really fixed it. Parts alignment is crappy but oh well.
