Broken defroster tabs

I was wondering can JB Weld be used to glue broken defroster tabs? I believe it has some sort of metal compound in it, so it should be conductive. Anyone w/ experience with it?

it might work but just go to a auto parts store and get the glue made just for that

if its broke off from the glass, there is a kit make by permatex that has conductive epoxy and conductive paint to fix that. you can get it at autozone.

If I ever break those off I use a soldering gun and low temp solder to put them back on. I used to use the glue but I hated having to to go buy the little packets....which can only be used once. I just sand the tab where the solder goes, drop some solder on the 2 areas, put it up to the glass and reheat it untill it melts and sticks on. But the glueing works. I just dont want them to ever come back. :lol6

Thanks for the all good advice... Now I guess I will break the next half a dozen of cars I do to see which method works best (just kidding).

I am still curious to see if JB Weld conducts electricity, but I feel I should not find out.

You gotta be careful with this one..the glass could go KABOOM !! "Frostfighters is a great little kit you can find on the internet ...it works great...similar, if not the same to what MDOG uses :nope
