P.S. I used JB Weld to patch a damaged hydraulic clutch cylinder once. It
held for 3-4 years until I junked the car. JB Weld is incredibley strong if
all surfaces are properly cleaned and prepared. Where the hose fitting
screwed into the cylinder was stripped. I lined the hole and side of the
fitting with JB Weld and screwed it in, then smeared a little over the
outside just for good measure. No problems with it there after.

I tried to fix an a/c condenser where the crimps that held the coils in the
frame cut into the alumimum tubing. Staticly with 120 psi air on it, it
held 24hrs, as soon as I charged with freon and ran the system for 5 minutes
the bond failed. It is good stuff but it has its limits.
