Using JB Water Weld For Repairs

We wanted to try JB Water Weld to repair a busted pipe on our irrigation system. Due to the location of the repair, it would require extensive digging and connections. It should be easier to use JB Water Weld since it should just form a tight seal around the PVC while still creating a watertight seal. Let’s go over the 3 times I screwed up before I got it right and fixed the PVC pipe.

How Not To Use JB Water Weld

It was a complete failure in the first attempt! Before applying it to the pipe, I didn’t knead it to an off white, sort of grey color. This failed so quickly, it filled the hole I dug with water before I got back to it. After the hole was dry, the JB Water Weld was soft enough to be peeled off by hand.

After attempt number one, I learned a lot. You should moisten your hands as you work the JB Water Weld because it becomes sticky. The water weld did not stick to my hands and I was able to work much easier. The only problem I had this time was that I didn’t have enough product. I used most of this on my first attempt to fix the pipe and plug some holes in our boat.

Finally Figured Out How To Use JB Water Weld

I had to purchase more JB Water Weld after wasting all the product learning how to use it. Three times a charm, it seems. Everything worked! My wife was thrilled to see the irrigation system working. The grass really was toasted by the sun and really needed water.
