RV GEAR
DEMO : QUICK , EASY REPAIRS

Most of us generally travel with a toolkit of sorts , which might include a variety of hand tools , duct tape and some RP7 . But when today ’ s vehicles and RVs are made of a range of modern plastics , alloys , and steel sheeting , having the ability to repair things while on the road really comes down to having the right tool or product with you to do the job .
J-B Weld has been making a variety of epoxy glues and putty for more than four decades to repair all sorts of materials , and have put together a kit called the Essential Travel Pack . The pack contains a repair solution to cover just about any modern-day material , so we took a closer look .
WHAT ’ S IN THE PACK
The Essential Travel Pack comprises a combination of five travel-sized products . These include putty , two-part epoxy and some silicone to cover a range of repairs . There are three putty sticks : one for repairing steel ( SteelStik ), another for waterrelated problems ( WaterWeld ), and another for repairing plastics ( PlasticWeld ).
The two-part epoxy is designed to repair metals , while the silicone comes with its own applicator and has a variety of uses . Each item has a peel-away label that provides important safety warnings .
