Well I know that JB-Kwik can conduct, but are there any bad side effects to sending electricity through JB-Kwik?

JB-Kwik is quick drying JB-Weld for those who don't know.

I was planning on JB'ing a wire to a spark plug when I thread and JB-weld the spark plug into a hybrid chamber. I was planning on using a 100,000v stungun, probably from BCARMS.

Cheers.

Can't you just touch the wire directly to the spark plug's contacts and JB it in place, avoiding the issue alltogether?

Why not just solder the wire to the spark plug?

Also, I don't think there would be any bad side effects to passing electricity, cyclically, for a short period, through the JB Weld. You might get cracking with things like capacitors dumping through it, but I think you'd be fine with just a stungun passing through the stuff.

That's what I was planning on doing, I was trying to see if the JB-weld insulated it for not, which it doesn't.

Okay sounds like it should be fine then, thanks.
