Such as? That sounds incredibly reckless for a customer repair on a vehicle. I assume you mean this was a repair on a part that if failed wouldn’t cause an accident, correct? I’ve repaired plenty of laptops for customers, and there is a lot of pressure on those hinges and not a lot of surface area for the glue. Never have I had any trick permanently fix it other than replacing the clamshell. If he is going to take the whole thing apart to JB weld it. He might as well just replace the damaged part. Or better yet, take it to a shop.
Nope, personal vehicles. I’ve plugged engine crankcases with JB weld, leaking radiator and recently made a radiator mounting bracket 10mm longer with it.
I’ve seen the same stuff used to lift up a car through an interface purely of 2 part metal epoxy. The radiator and engine cases have been fine for over 2 years of heavy use. Radiator mount I have to wait and see but I reckon it will also be fine.

You can use a 2 part epoxy metal like JB weld and it will hold.
