Should work great. If you have a grinder and enough access grind the opening of the crack a little bit to clean it up and allow better penetration. I also masked off the area around the break with tape to keep the epoxy off of the surrounding area. Be patient Let it cure a good long time depending on your weather. Warm temps speed up reaction time cold slows it down a lot. Good luck!

I just used JB weld to fix a part on a cast iron sculpture in my yard. Worked great and made it through a crazy winter too. I am going to use it on a cement piece that I broke removing snow. Should work fine, make a jig to support the parts in the proper position. Can be sanded after cured. Should be good as is but may want to store dry inside during winter season.

If you want to paint, clean and etch if possible and use a cement sealer.

One more thing- if I go home and sit in front of the tv I’m done for the rest of the day. If you have things to do, take care of them as soon as you get off of your shift. You’ll feel more accomplished and sleep better because if it. Did I mention sleep? Get sleep. You’ll be fine. You’re not the only one working this shift and many work way worse shifts.

Get 7-8 hrs of sleep and don’t take regular naps or it will screw up your sleep time. I schedule my dr appts for the end of my shift and give as much notice as possible so that I’m only missing out on maybe the last half hour of work or schedule a zoom appt if possible and take it on your break. The main thing is start on that schedule, stay on that schedule and get sleep. Trust me. I’m trying to get my sleep back in line and it’s a struggle. Also stay off of the the phone at night. … like me lol. Good luck.
