I used it to repair the case on my IBM PS/2 Model 80. One of the
mounting "towers" that hold the power supply in place broke before I got
it. The fibrous plastic piece with the threaded insert was still
present, but un-attached, so I used JB-Weld to re-secure it. Worked
great!! :-) I assume it is still in place. I haven't pulled the power
supply since so I don't know for sure, but I suspect it is still
holding.
It's amazing that the same stuff I used to plug a hole in the intake
manifold of a 2.2 liter Chrysler engine is the same stuff I used to fix
my computer :-)

2216 is very good when you need to bond a plastic

the primary application of JB Weld was for metals?
Umm, that's what they _sell_ it for. The real primary application is
with a spatula.
Couldn't resist. I use JB weld anytime I need high-stress bonding.
It stands up to vibration & flexure better than any other stickum I
know. It IS kind of ugly, though.
