LOCTITE 638, High Strength Adhesive for Shaft Hub Connections, Universal Liquid Adhesive for Joining Parts, Temperature Resistant Metal Adhesive for Gearboxes, 50ml

Don’t except anything to move after you’ve used this. Bonds like a weld, but significantly easier to use.

Used on fishing banksticks, worked fine.

Didn’t find it any good at all I ended buying a different bonding material can’t recommend

Great stuff and easy to use but get it right first time.

Cannot rate product , as the item is a strong adhesive, whose efficacy will only become evident over time. However, I trust the brand after experience of other examples of their products that I have used in the past, so am confident that it will work as planned.

Used in a reduction gear for an electric motorcycle project.

The product is baffling. I used it to reattach broken pot metal mounts inside the case of a vintage pot metal clock, using clamps to exert joining force. It held rock solid after 24 hours and will probably withstand hammer blows.When using the product to adhere a small section [30mm x 35mm] of galvanized 1mm thick sheet metal to the pot metal case to close a crack and provide rigidity, it again bonded perfectly despite the two metals being different types. Clamps were again used and the parts laid aside 24 hours.Oddly, my third attempt failed miserably despite following the same work routine as twice before.I tried to bond a 20mm x 30mm galvanized 1mm thick sheet metal piece to again close a different crack and provide rigidity and support to the damaged pot metal case. Here, one-half of the sheet metal width bonded perfectly and adhered rock solid to the pot metal, the remaining 15mm’s broke free with still-wet Loctite 638 visible underneath.I removed the damp Loctite, wiped the area clean and re-applied the 638 to the loose 15mm wide section which had failed to bond the first go round. Hopefully this time it will bond but the annoyance remains that the product performed marvellously twice yet failed on the third repair despite my following identical work patterns [ filing, sanding, cleaning / wiping down, etc. ].If anyone wishes to share a thought on such experiences, it may be helpful to others like myself. For sealing large cracks or filling in voids, I successfully use JB Weld, which due to its coarseness of application was not suitable for the nature of the repairs described above.
