Hi guys

I need a recommendation for some strong adhesive for metal.
A weld has cracked a while ago so I tried JB Weld but a day or two later it had cracked. I think the problem is that the join has got to cope with a little flex so it cracked.
Can anybody suggest anything? or am i doing something wrong with the JB Weld

Cheers

Hmm, cant really see anything epoxy being strong tbh, is it not easier to drill and bolt or rivet a repair plate on/in ?

hmmm I guess that might work need to think how I could do it. So there is no adhesive that would work nothing like Sikaflex? or is it not designed for this?
Thanks
