anyone Jb weld ring terminals?

[Cravingbass123]

seems it would make an stronger hold than solder and easier than soldering 1/0 terminals secure.

and if you had a shitty crimp you could fix it with jb weld. so then no need to scrap a terminal already put on.

just use a good crimper and you won't have to worry about it.

Havent tried JB Weld, but I soldered all of my 1/0 wire to the ring terminals..no shitty crimp jobs here..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I hated that crap....crimp some wire...pound for a few days only to see your **** *** crimp job come un-done....

I don't think it would hold. But I guess it's worth a try. Try it and let us know what happens.

is jb weld conductive?

thats what i was thinking...

is jb weld conductive?

thats why im wondering, i dont think it matters though unless its encapsulating the wire in the terminal, which is not likely

Nope, its an insulator

Nope, its an insulator

Hmmm,

So if thats true, then you may gain strength over solder by using jb weld, but you will lose the added bonus of adding conductive surface area that solder gives you.

I'd rather go with solder, It goes on 1/0awg easy enough for me when using a small torch.

It does matter. If the JB Weld is not conductive, it would get inbetween a lot of the threads and the ring terminal and increase resistance.

um.. terrible idea...

I always crimp and then solder for extra conductivity and security. Its not hard and holds super well

nope...just backing probmxstyle up

just get a good set of crimpers and then soder it as well.
