JBWeld has never failed to impress me. I use the stuff everywhere.
When I have left overs I fashion it into balls and let them harden and then experiment with them.

I'm no chemist or scientist but my theory is they use metal filings which adds strength to the epoxy binder. I have hammered the test balls, sawed them, and even shot them from my sling shot and they never fail to amaze me.

My latest experiment was broken handle on heavy duty scissors(almost tin snips) . I fashioned a new handle and to my amazement they are holding. Even with the high leverage working against them.
