id like to fix a stud into a hole on a gearbox so that i can attach a bracket(nothing too heavy duty)
budget wise i can stretch to some jb weld or similar
anyone had any good results with any of these epoxys ? im not convinced theyre up to thier claims , but would like to hear from others

JB Weld has the name, but I think it's really just the same as old fashioned "Chemical Metal". They do work well in my experience. I once watched a man in an old LandRover fix a broken fan blade back on with some. It seemed to work - he said all the other blades had previously broken off but were now properly glued back on.

funnily enough i just found some chemical metal in the shed

I think JB Weld is superior, however Chemical Metal may be good enough.
I did look into such things from the point of view of maximum tolerable temperature, and the figure for JB is quite a bit above the rest. While it won't repair a cracked combustion chamber, it certainly can cope with being used inside an engine!
Most pertinent thing though is do your preparation like your life depended on it. Degrease thoroughly, and then, do it again.
My JB Weld plugged inlet manifold (water heated) has been good now for 18 years!

It's good stuff but don't believe the advert-picking up a T/bird by it's hardtop.Top would come off first.

Why not a helicoil? Should be quite cheap to get one done, or even buy a kit!

Plastic Padding, drilled an tapped, just about as strong as any of these "fancy" compounds.
