Epoxy putty

[josh2203]

Anyone seen anything similar to this:

WaterWeld Epoxy Putty

WaterWeld will plug or seal leaks and patch holes and cracks in almost anything.

Preferably NC. I have one of those already ordered but need would be immediate (and could use more than one I think), so if available locally, would appreciate any tips. Thanks!

Only advice I can give is to check the expiration date when you find it. Epoxy components A and B (resin and hardener) although separate have a limited storage life.

I'd say check a couple of hardware or car parts stores. I see J B Weld all the time.

Just following up on this, these are indeed available in many places, checked the Sirena hardware section (not because they would be the best in hardware but because we were already there getting groceries...), they had in tubes, so liquid, I did not go with that one. Also did not like the pricing... There's a very good hardware store in POP called Deposito Ferretero just going out of the city towards Playa Dorada and they had really nice selection of different types of adhesives and epoxies and they provided really professional, detailed instructions even on how to apply (basically, mix the two 1:1, be rather quick in applying and then let cure for 1-2 hours). Also the pricing was better than in Sirena. I like this ferreteria as I don't find them "messy" if you will, like many other local hardware stores, so let this be a good review at the same time...

Thanks to USPS, my JB Weld epoxy putty, ordered on 2/17/25, is still not even with Domex... I'm starting to hate USPS....

I assume you have the USPS tracking number...you can check that online with USPS and maybe see more details on the delivery and maybe see where the delay is. I had a small package sent from family on the west coast to Domex at about that same time, and it was delayed along the way too...now at Domex and on the way here. I wonder if the wacky weather in much of the US during the last couple weeks was at least in part to blame.

Yes, of course I have tracking. It's between USPS and Domex in Miami, where I know there can be a delay but it's now been there between for 4 working days. Just sent a support request for Domex. The reason for my concern is that another package, also with USPS, delivered just one day prior to this one is already in the DR.

So following up on this as Domex replied

"
USPS no realiza entregas directas en nuestros instalaciones, si no en la oficina de correos más cercana a nosotros y desde allí nos envían los paquetes en un intervalo de 5 a 7 días laborables. Es importante recalcar que este proceso se realiza solo con este transportista, en todos los paquetes enviados a través del mismo.
"

So what JD Jones said in the post linked below, is not only true but it can be much worse, by standard:

What I did not realize was that the delay could be that long.

Now I know this so can adjust our purchasing behavior accordingly. Perhaps I try to move our EU Amazon Prime to the US one...

USPS indicates it's delivered when they hand the package to a delivery contractor.

I have used several JB Weld products. Very happy with them. Use them in a well ventilated area as the smell really bad.

I know this, what I did not know that the delay could be this long.

Good news: The package was finally received today by Domex! All good now.

Thanks, I can imagine that any adhesive produces quite a strong scent. I only intend to use outdoors.
