Is there any way of removing hardened JB Weld of soften it once it's hardened?

I can tell you that if it gets too hot it will melt and move around. I have gotten metal things back apart by heating it with a small torch. That's the only way I know of to get it melt a little. I've never found a solvent that will touch it.

You could try using 0000 steel wool to sand it off. I use it to polish chrome and lightly sand other materials.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

It is welded to the base. You cannot remove it. You will have to look for one that is inter-changeable.

Yes Ken B, so here's what I did: I wrapped 3m rubber tape around both of the metal latch ends that contact metal. There was still a slight rattle so I realized that it was the "bed" of the rack contacting (ie vibrating against) the frame when the rack is empty. No sweat; I just went and found Jose the Welder, hit him with a $20 bill and he spot welded everything rattling for me in about 5 minutes! Problem(s) solved.

No, it's their Plastic Weld product....if you need to repair metal, use the normal JB weld...Key is to prep the heck out of the surface you are going to adhere the JB weld to.Good Luck!

Not by design but to be able to de-solder is a separate but equal skill and I would consider it the next step in evolving your skill set. I prefer to use a De-soldering Pump but wicking is also an option. When it is time to remove a damaged component or isolate for testing this skill is important. To de-solder you reheat the joint and the pump "sucks" away the solder. I made this purchased this to use in a mentoring application and was satisfied with it.

You could probably break it off as it doesn't appear to be welded, but it is not removable to my knowledge.

Personally, I had a problem because after using some JB Weld, I dropped the pin and while frantically looking for it the Jb Weld started to set up. I had to beat the hell out of it and the punch pin mushroomed a little but I believe had I not dropped the pin like an idiot, there would have been no problem. I hope that helps.

Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove. I have used this technique several times. Be careful not to burn anything in the process ;)

Yes, use cloth strips, it hardens like hard wax. It is non irritating and it works great!

If it is the pan I would say no. Need to use something like JB Weld. If its the gasket maybe, but only after cleaning off all the oil first.

Personally I used this along with 4 micro-drops of JB Weld on all 4 corners... seems to hold up real well.. not sure if JB Weld is rated for that kind of heat though? Just thought I would share my info

If you lack welding capabilities, you can bend it back (gently) and use a cold weld such as JB Weld. Make sure you let it sit the required amount of time (if not longer) before use, otherwise you will bend it again and it will set incorrectly. I would use the 8265S Original-Reinforced as opposed to the quick setting. You can pick it up at your local Lowe's/Home Depot for around $7.

I find that JB weld works well It is cheap and comes in many versions The 3m product will fail before this rips off

The majority of the videos I watched prior to installation showed using either a high temp Loctite or high temp. JB weld. I used the high temp. (500deg.) JB weld. Whatever you use torque to about 20 ft. ibs. and leave it for at least 24 hours. Do NOT retorque as this will break the bond. I used brake clean to clean the threads of tap fluid, then blew it all out with air and let it sit a bit. So far so good.

I,m not sure how stable it is under pressure Jb weld can take the pressure and heat but make sure its fully cured be for sanding and getting it hot
