3 years into egging I finally broke a leg on my plate setter. Turned and bounced it off the eggmate. The Gaber was ready to buy a new one but no sez I. Hats off to this forum for knowledge sharing, I knew what to do. Off to the Crappy Tire I go for the JB Weld. Mixed adhesive and clamped, 24hrs later good to walk again. Thanks for this forum and all who contribute.

I use JB Weld quite a bit... I would be concerned about using it where high temps AND food are concerned. Any worries here?LBGE | CyberQ | Adjustable Rig | SmokeWare Cap | Kick Ash Basket | Table Build | Tampa, FL

Might just be the lighting in the first photo but it looks like it was cracked before this break.If you had to have a break I think you broke this one in a good spot for the repair to hold. Good luck.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

Mine has been broken in the same spot for months. I use it as is, legs up, set the broken piece on the plate setter, grid holds it in place

Nice repair - you should get a few years from it. I'm told that pizza cooks may not be the best thing for the weld.Assume it was cold when you broke its leg.....Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!
