i have a lennox plus furnace i gotted used. i put it in my basement at
my house. hooooey was that a choar. heavy. one of the hard parts was
getting the rite size stove pipe for it. but that ol muellar i had
wasn't working too good so i decided i would repace it. the plus works
pretty good ceptin sometimes it makes that rattlin sound then stops. i
found that blue box in there and taped on it and it worked good for a
little while. than it would juust make that rattlin sound then stop
again. i took the box apart and found the green plate thingy had a
lose wire in it. the wire has a funny lookin glob of colord plastic
on it about 1/4 inch long and about as big as a pencel lead. can i
just put some of that jb weld stuff on it? i would think that would
hold it. heck, i had a part of my steering linkage on my truck brake
and i put some jb weld on it and it has held up fine for over 2
months. shows its strong enuogh. i also used some on the gas pipe
that was leeking a little. my naiber says i should call one of those
heating plumbers but i think i can save a bunch of money by doing it
myself. can some of you good peeople help a frugal howeowner.

If I was able to properly read what you wrote (I is very difficult to
read when the writer does not bother to use capital letters where expected
and fails to use paragraphs.) then I suggest that you need to do some
research and determine the "proper" way of doing repair work before you
start working on any more projects in particular gas pipe.

Get a book at the store and follow the local building codes exactly
including getting any permits required. If you feel tempted to take a
shortcut with JB-Weld, just kick yourself. I would suggest the same on your
truck. Do you really want to have your steering go out because your glue
job failed? There are some things you don't try and save money on. Life
threatening situations are not good places to guess.
