Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, twenty minutes after the top of the hour
at home with Garry Sullivan. As I said, we'd be
chatting some more. And it's a sticky situation when all
you do is talk about glues. I'll tell you you
think I'm kidding. Matt Walkey is my guest. He is
would Ja b Weld a name we've all heard of,
and I'll tell you what. Let's talk about some glues.
(00:23):
We were talking just chatting about epoxies. There's all different
types of epoxies and applicators. And a POxy is two part, right,
That's what epoxy means. Two part. So you got a
resin and you got a hardener, and you'd think that's
all you know, straightforward, and you know the tube of
apoxy comes with two little tubes. You square down on
(00:45):
a paper plate, you pull out your toothpicke, you start around.
But that's not very scientific. So you've got ways to
apply an epoxy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Correct, correct, Yeah, and thank you for having me, Gary.
I appreciate you having me on the show. Ultimately, epoxy is,
as you mentioned, a two part system, and you know
the goal when you're applying it is prepping the you know,
the surface in whatever way necessary, ensuring there's no debris
or anything like that, and and mixing the parts one
to one. That's another common issue. They don't use enough hardener.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh yeah, that's why I'm saying that's squirting it in
the paper place. Not very scientific.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And we've improved on that by adding auto mixing or
static mixing syringes where it comes out one very cool.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I got a bunch of them in work. I mean
it is it is a syringe and it's got the
epochiae one side, hardenering the other, or the hardener in
the resin they're separate. You squeeze, they come out equal amounts.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yep, yep. So it kind of takes in eliminates the
the user error I call that idiot. There you go,
it's it, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's good.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And you also have them where you've got a fast
dry versus a long dri so you've got a five
minute of epoxy.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Ye yeah, actually have an instant epoxy now that it's
it's just two minutes. But the goal is we want
to trade people up from the old school superglues that
they're used to using that has you know, more of
a brittle overall adhesion. Epoxy, as you know, is permanent.
So by by kind of moving them up into an
epoxy or trying epoxy for the first time, we think
(02:20):
the consumer will have a better all, better overall user experience.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, I couldn't
agree with you more. And and we'll talk. I know
you guys have like a super glue, be too super glue,
but when that started being marketed, probably early mid eighties,
it was the end all to everything. You're never gonna
need anything else. You just put a little able to
(02:45):
do you. I think it came out of the dental field,
isn't it for gluing pieces of teeth or tooth back
on your on your tooth.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I think that is where it originated.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It and the superglue that we actually offer a super
glue these days that that is UV activated and that's
similar to the super procludes that they use in the
dinner fields, don't Yeah, So it really does absolutely full circle.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So back to the epos you get, you just got
bear with jump all over. Oh no, yeah, So if
you move them up to an epoxy, you've got an
adhesive that's got more guts to it, it's got more body,
it's more appliable, more workable.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Absolutely, you you have more open time, you can you
can get things placed where you need them to be,
and it's permanent. At JB World, we we do. We
do say that. You know, we have the world's strongest bonds.
The products that we make are the strongest, and that's
what we do with that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, it's a quality products, it's a great product,
it's a wonderful product.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
With Within the retail market, we do have about eighty
six percent market share, so people people resonate that out there.
People resonate with the brand. They trust the brand and uh,
and that's why you see us in over one hundred
thousand retail outlets.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I guess you use the non five. I want everything
done fast, probably most people do. I like the two
minute thing. I don't know if I can move that fast,
but you gotta be careful. Uh two mid five minute. Uh.
They still have the long form and I guess you
gotta clamp that. And it's probably for specific projects.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, a lot of those applications are in the automotive side,
where you know you're you're using them in ways that
are going to add structural integrity, et cetera. Four to
six hours, then it's full twenty four hour cure. But
those those harden as strong as metal. A lot of
them do have metal within the product, and it'll take
a magnet so you can tap them. They are very
(04:34):
permanent fixes.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Any substrate I'm thinking out loud, so correct me if
I'm wrong, will accept in epoxy, right, I mean I
think a brick and woode concrete absolutely, And I mean
I can't think of you know, maybe not paper so
correct a napkinting together or anything, but you can try.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, yeah, overall, Yeah, we we have epoxies for every substrate,
everything from plastic to that old a glass.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Concrete, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, very every every substrate covered and we try to
make it easy by having products specific substrate application.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So well, we got about a minute and a half.
And I know pickup trucks are popular and JB World
has a bedliner.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We do years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
We purchased hercy Liner an acquisition of ours, and we've
improved on some of their items, made a two K
POxy bedliner that that we that we sell into the
retail channel. But it's a two part system just like
our epoxy so on. We do have don't have a pickup,
so we have a roll on version and then we
(05:41):
also have a spray on version that is a two
part version that is mixed and sprayed on with an
air compressor.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, it's extremely.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Durable and from a retail perspective, makes a lot of
sense for the di wire.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, that's been out just the last three years or so,
or with you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Guys, Yeah, yeah, I think Yeah, the acquisition was was
probably closer to five years ago, but the we've improved
on some of those products and some of those items
have been out just the last few years.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Excellent, all right, JB. Weld In the website they can
get more information.

We're at the Do It Best show in Indianapolis, and
we'll be here for about another half hour bringing in
some more guests. We'll get at them back from from
our friends at Dumont Global, and then we'll kind of
wrap things up. We got another half hour to go.
(06:35):
We'll continue at home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I think it right.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
With a call to Gary Sullivan at one eight hundred
