I don't know why I never thought of this before. I guess I never had the need.
Today I mixed equal parts of both tubes of J-B Weld with equal parts of both tubes of KwikWeld. I should have watched the clock, but my guess is that the set time was about 25 minutes, vs. 5 hours, and 6 minutes, for the stand-alone products.
After about two hours I can barely dent the mixture with my thumbnail, and I expect a satisfactory full cure. The full cure time for the stand-alone products is 15-24 hours, and 4-6 hours.
I know enough about epoxy to know that the two products are probably completely compatible, and that you could further adjust the set time by using different ratios of the two products.
Interestingly, I Googled "mixing J-B Weld with KwikWeld," and got zero relevant hits. The manufacturer should create a table of mixing ratios and set times, they'd probably sell a lot more product...
