FWIW, It does work well. However, it only works as well as the prep.

Make sure you thoroughly clean the area with a good solvent. Use a dremel and open the crack a ittle to get good penetration. Also, I would consider drilling a hole at the ends of the crack to stop the crack from propagating. Use a small screw to fill the hole after applying the JB welb. Use a flood lamp to heat the area after applying and give it more than the 24 hours needed to dry. The heat will speed up the drying but still give it plenty of time to cure. It will propably be stronger than the case around it.

Have fun..
