JB Weld
So i know for a fact that JB Weld crap DEFINATELY is NOT a replacement for straight up stick or MIG welds. Thing is, i would only be looking at using it to reattach one of my door hinges to the frame... There just isnt really enough room there to truely weld the hinge back on becuase whatever Ahole broke it off originally, decided it would be a great idea to practically cut off the entire section where the hinge was mounted to begin with!
Anything that would deal with health/safety issues, i would never even consider the crap, but seeing how its not related to either of the two and becuase im dealing with such a limited ammount of room, i think this is one of my best options.
Please chime in with other ideas or words of support... its cold as hell down in GA right now, and my heat just sucks big time with such a huge, gapping hole in my rig so naturally, im dying to get this damn door back on
