I’m currently repairing and renovating the cast iron gutters on my old cottage. Today’s repair is to glue a piece of metal back onto the down pipe - which I suspect was broken when the gutters were originally installed back in the 1970s.
After researching on the web I decided upon J-B Weld as it works on multiple surfaces, including cast iron and steel, and is reputed to provide strong, long lasting repairs.
After cleaning each surface to be glued with wire wool and CT1 Multi-solve degreasing spray, I mixed two equal parts of the steel and hardener, and applied them to the edges of the broken piece. I then pressed the two pieces together. The joint does then need holding in place with gaffer tape as it takes 4-6 hours to set and a further 15 hours to cure.
The end result - an incredibly strong joint that I’m really happy with.
