The consistency if JB weld is directly related to the
temperature. On a warm day it can be quite runny. 
The directions tell us to let it set awhile after
mixing before applying it. As the JB sits it begins
to cure and becomes thicker. I use JB weld on a
steering wheel and was mostly happy with the result. 
Its starting to show cracks after about 2 years. I'm
not sure if these are new cracks or old ones opening
back up. I am thinking about using plastic body
filler (bondo) this time.
