Talking to a friend today about JB Weld, not seen it in the UK, does it contain metal filings?

JB weld is available in UK and looks grey with no metal in it.

JB Weld is just another form of epoxy. It used to have some kind of filler but I don't know if it still does - I never buy the stuff.

6KV? Could easily be up to 20KV with a good coil and no spark plug.

I went the glue gun route. It worked great. Easy to control so its a clean result, hardens quickly. I would recommend it.

I've used it in the US and it is grey there, just curious about why not clear like most epoxy glues in the UK.
