I usually use 2-ton epoxy for splices, but noticed JB weld had much more tensile strength than 2-ton....I don't know why I did not look at it before, other than I thought it to be used for metal projects, but thats not the case it is for wood as well. The problem with 2-ton is it does not adhere to metal worth a darn....I know that is not true for the JB. Devcon has a rating at 2500 psi, JB has a psi rating at 3960...big difference! I have not had a failure with Devcon mixed right, but am always a little concerned about extreme cold as it tends to make some epoxies brittle.
