Valid alternative for JB Weld

It hard to say if that product will offer the holding power you seek.
We use Loctite 9340 Hysol.
It should be available world wide.

Thanks Henry, Loctite is indeed easier to come by here.

Not that I need a lot of holdong power.
I'm using it in my rebuild on the spots were the factory stuff has come off... (chain housings, as per Wayne's book))

Hi Geronimo, I'm from eindhoven and JB weld is available here nearby, I had trouble finding it at first but all the other epoxy's hadn't such a temp resistance as JB weld, if you want I can look for the adres and you can maybe let it send over.

cheers Harold

indeed, last time I needed it, I bought it at the local Praxis in the car section.

Harold, Peter,

That would be great!!
I'm about 45 km from Eindhoven so I can even go there myself to buy it.
Can you post the adres of PM it?

Thanks

I just visited our local praxis where they untill recently sold jbweld, but not anymore unfortunately. So I am also interested in htegenbo's source.

Here is the address:
twinsscooterservice.nl
Spegelt 37
5674 CE Nuenen
040 2845535

PS when I googled the address I ran into an ad of JB weld on Marktplaats!
I don't think it will be a problem to let them send it to you...

Hope this will help, and good luck with your rebuild!

Just a quick note:
WE don't use LocTite 9340 because we can't find JB Weld. We use LocTite it becasue we find it to be a better product for this application.
If all you have is JB Weld it will work OK but if you seek to eliminate as many compromises as possible, LocTite is my suggestion.

That's great, I want to buy it.
