    Did my JB Weld Set Up OK?

    I'm looking for feedback on how my JB Weld should look after it has set. I've been building for many years and normally fabricate some clips for motor retention. On my current project, I didn't have room to install any clips so I've used an AeroPack retainer. This is my first time to use JB...
