Angry Got a JB Weld problem

****, I pulled a brain dead. I pulled my 7 half way out of the garage, then pulled the upper intake. Then To do my fabrication I had to use JB weld, well now cause my car is halfway in and halfway out of the garage I cant shut the garage, and i got millions of dollars of tools in there. JB wled says 4-6 hrs to set, overnight before you can use it, how can I speed this process up? any ideas?


Now, I'm stuck siting here
Thanks,

Robert

What's the temp in Stockton? I really don't use JB Weld much but, I recall higher temp gives quicker curing time.

So if youcan increase the temp in your garage somehow curing time should be reduced.

I tried a blow dryer on it, it actully started to make it runny... so I backed off that idea. it's about 50 degrees here right now.

Uh push the car into the garage? I can usually push it several yards.

No fellas it's a steep driveway. The rear tires are entirely on the slope .... it would take 4 men and a little boy to push it up I got no help the second I let off the E-brake it will roll downhill. I really really don't want to roll it out of the garage, it will be cold and dark trying to put it back together, and I can't even close the hood the way i have it apart right now ... I fuked myself

You can't use that kind of heat! I'm referring to ambient temp in your garage.

Though I never used hair dryer on JBW guess I won't be.

Yea man it takes overnight. Here are your options lol:

A. Put car into driveway (by letting off ebrake until its in a good spot and then pull ebrake back up).
B. Leave garage door open - bad idea.
C. Get the neighbors to help you push it in.

Good luck!

Whew! Disaster averted. I rallied the neighbors. Silly *** midget neighbor almost tried to push it up the driveway by pushing on my spoiler, I almost had to smack him down It was not as hard as I thought it would be ... I feel much better, time to go get laid

thanks for the advice all. I just hate asking neighbors who mostly dislike me (cause of my cars noise) to help, but had to do it.

I personally would have just used the starter motor to crank the car into the garage!

And you called me an idiot for having my pulley bolt pop out on me...

Heck ya. No problem.
It's rough on it, it'd be drawing a lot of current, but if you are only moving it 8 feet....
