Never thought of using boiling water to accelerate the cure of JB, will have to try that the next time. Thanks. Usually keep JBquik in the truck for those fast repairs, in the heat down here JBquik sets up in a couple of minutes so you have to work really fast.

For epoxy putty have you ever tried PC 7? It seems to be about the same quality as JB but you can put it on the bottom of something without it dripping off and it is moldable and it keeps it's shape.
