Is JB Weld electrically conductive?

Well, IS IT (after it cures, that is)???

I can not speak for JB WELD but I do know, for a fact, that BELZONA
(1111) Super Metal is not conductive. It also will not rot, shrink,
rust, or corrode.
No solvents in Super Metal and does not stink like JB Weld. Excellent
compressive and shear-adheision strength.
It will stand up avgas, mogas, or jet fuel.
It does not run off like JB WELD. I have built Belzona 1"thick on
horizontal and verticle surfaces and it stays put. Amazing stuff, to
say the least!

Doesn't appear to be. I tried measuring the resistance of a recent repair
using an autoranging ohmmeter. Even with the probes almost touching each
other, it read infinity.

Are you using the same JB Weld I do? I have never found it to stink or run off.
Of course I do not stick my nose right in it to see if it smells. :-)

Rich,

Thanks for the "field test"!!! I did find on the European JB website
that it is not conductive after set up. Dang, I need something that IS
conductive (well, not really, but it would be nice)...

Add a pinch of powdered Magnesium, some gunpowder, litharge and glycerin.

I do not have to stick my nose in JB Weld. I find the odor offensive.
But that may just be me.
I have used a couple of varieties of JB Weld and it will work in some
situations however, if you check the product specification sheets
Belzona is much stronger mechanical properties.
Caterpiller corporation specifies Belzona for repairs in their engine
blocks.

Rich, I'd venture to say he'd like to have it conduct more than once.

It sounds interesting where can I find some?

Oh. The Fourth of July is over for this year I guess.
