New product

JB Weld's Essential Travel Pack contains five travel-sized products including putty, two-part epoxy and silicone. There are three putty sticks: one for repairing steel (SteelStik), one for water-related repairs (WaterWeld), and one for repairing plastics (PlasticWeld). The two-part epoxy is designed to repair metals, while the silicone comes with its own applicator.

All come separately stored in compartments of a clear plastic box. The back of the box has information including instructions, a guide for working times through to setting times, plus the overall rating once fully cured.

When using any of the putty sticks, assess how much you need then cut a piece off and remove its outer wrapping. Begin to work the putty together in your hands - it's ready to be used once it's fully mixed.

Each of the putty sticks have different applications, and their contents can be moulded into any shape. The curing time for the putty varies, with the SteelStik and WaterWeld requiring one hour. The PlasticWeld takes three hours.

After waiting for the required curing time, the putty can then be drilled, tapped, sanded, filed, or painted, depending on the putty type.

At the completion of the repair, you simply return any unused putty back into the tube so it's ready for the next repair.

The two tubes in the pack for the two-part epoxy cold weld system require a mix of 50/50, so it's simply a case of squeezing out what you need from both tubes and mixing them together well. This product provides a permanent bond on a range of surfaces and takes between four and six hours to completely cure.

The fifth pack product is a tube of Ultimate Grey Silicone. Although its label specifies it as a "water pump and thermostat housing gasket maker & sealant", it's the type of silicone that could be used anywhere a gasket repair was required.

JB Weld Essentials pack covers multiple situations and is stored in a neat carry case not much bigger than hand-size.

JB Weld products are manufactured in the United States and considered to be the "World's Strongest Bond".
