Stronger than JB Weld

[gmm213]

I have tried twice now to use JB Weld and it keeps breaking. Im guessing Im asking to much of it. I am trying to secure a washer to a bolt then that to a hollow pole to create a pin. I dont really want to pay someone to tack weld it. I was hoping for a cheaper diy solution. It will have a small bit of torque, it will hold a pipe with a roll of background paper that will be pulled out and rolled up

But your avatar's a weldng helmet!

if im looking at it correctly, are you essentially trying to have a hollow tube with a threaded bolt sticking out of one end and right now are trying to jb weld a washer to a bolt and the washer to the end of the tube?
Depending on the thread size you need and whats available, perhaps instead of jb welding a washer to the tube, find a socet cap screw, (round end instead of a hex) with a head outer diameter close to the inner diameter of the hollow tube. if you need to jb weld it, the usual splines on the outside of the cap screw will give it a little more bite, but i would be inclined to see if you could put the cap screw in place of the end of the tube, drill through both and hammer a pin in there to secure them together....unless i completely missed what your talking about

That's the way to go. Or a regular hex nut would work also, if you pack it full of jb weld inside the tube.

Is it possible to use a larger piece of threaded rod and actually thread the rod into the pipe, then secure it with a nut?

 

[chrism0107]

how about drilling into the bolt end and pushing the pin into the drilled hole with some locktite to secure

There is too much pressure on the bolt or "pin".

If you want to go this route get a longer bolt, or even all thread. Maybe 3-4", put a washer near the head, or end, and keep it in place with a nut. Then do the same thing near the end of the tube. I assume the washers fit inside the tube? You can use a liberal amount of JB to then hold it all in place. Now the JB is just managing the "pins" placement back and forth, and you aren't relying on it to take the stress or pull of the entire rod.

Get the Bogen background setup for single or more background rolls. Its everything you need and works great and can be found on EBay or B&H. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. I used I think 2" EMT tubing for the holder and it is straight and doesn't sag like the cardboard tubes eventually do.

Time to grab the McMaster catalog....they have what you need

3M weather strip adhesive and 24 hours. Add to each piece rubbing it on to the parts well to get a good bond, assemble adding more.

Your trouble is lack of contact area. Cut a few inches of dowel that fits in the tube. The fit is not that critical. Drill a hole through the dowel. JB weld the screw into the dowel and the dowel into the tube. For even better contact, roughen up the outside of the dowel and the inside if the tube.
