JB WELD HIGHHEAT SYRINGE JB Weld says this product negates the need for a welder Workshops are busy places and resources are often stretched to the limit trying to get vehicles repaired and back to customers. Welding equipment such as oxyacetylene, MiG or TIG is not always available and requires someone with the right training and expertise to use it. JB Weld says its High Heat Syringe is easy to use and is a product that can live on a workshop shelf and be called into action immediately and simply. As an added bonus, the design of the two-part syringe incorporates a no waste cap which means once used it can be capped and placed back in stock for use again and again. So, when the repair calls for a solution that requires welding, but you don’t have welding equipment on hand, JB Weld says this product can do the job permanently and on a variety of different automotive parts – exhaust manifolds, tail pipes, mufflers, engine blocks or any high temperature projects. JB Weld HighHeat Syringe is a two-part epoxy specifically formulated to bond and repair materials such as iron, steel and metal that will be
exposed to high temperatures in both automotive and industrial maintenance applications. It cures to a form a tough, hard bond with little to no shrinkage. This industrial strength product sets in one hour at room temperature and cures in 24 hours. HighHeat’s cure time is accelerated by heat and can cure in one hour at 120°C. This means a high quality and long-lasting repair is performed quickly in any workshop, says JB Weld. The job is done in four easy steps. First clean the area to be repaired so it is free of dirt, grease, oil, paint, rust and so on to ensure a complete bond. Then after removing the replaceable cap, press down on the plunger and squeeze equal amounts onto a disposable surface, and mix thoroughly. Finally apply the product with an appropriate tool in an even coat, weld bead or extruded shape as needed. That’s it, simple, straightforward, and quick. JB Weld HighHeat Syringe provides strong, lasting, heat-resistant repairs up to 288°C. Mixed
at a ratio of 1:1, it forms a permanent bond that has a 4730 PSI strength and is chemical and fuel resistant. After just eight hours, the part can be drilled, tapped, machined, ground, filed and painted to finish the job. HPP Lunds is the sole distributer for JB Weld products in Australia.
