Modding jb weld epoxy any good

Hey all with my current project there are a few place I need to fix a rivnut but I cant pop them as there is a plastic quebolok corner bracket inside the aluminium frame, which makes it to thick for a rivnut to grip. I stumbled upon this glue http://jbweldit.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=25 and am wondering how strong it is. Was thinking I could glue a rivnut aluminium to aluminium on would this be a strong enough bond so I could nip up the bolts(the bolts are used to hold panels in place non structural)? Dont need to swing off the bolts just firm. Cheers

 

I just used a JB Weld Epoxy kit to fix the oil pan on my car, and it's holding just fine on an aluminum oil pan. I've always have great experienced with JB Weld in general. It's a good brand and trustworthy for quality in my eyes.
I would think for what you described it should work just fine.

 

It's great, just watch for outgassing if you need to paint it. It can bubble up paint that way.

 

ok thanks. I also discovered "jack nuts" yesterday, they have a much bigger grip range then rivnuts, will see if I can get them in m3 if not will give jbweld a go.

 

Also, one very important thing with JB Weld is to clean the hell out of the surfaces you're joining - I highly recommend lighter fluid (naptha). It'll clean anything off metal, and it evaporates nearly as quickly as pure alcohol.

Also, rough up the surfaces a bit to give the epoxy something to grip, and you should be good to go.
