Greetings and salutations
After a dozen years or so, my desk chair has become hazardous. I didn't know you could crack an eighth inch steel plate, just by sitting on it. But - I managed, somehow. This is the plate which mounts the connector from the stand up to the chair bottom. Mostly it got the left-right stresses as I shift around reach for stuff, but I knew there was a problem when I leaned forward, and it "leaned" with me.
So, JB Weld. Advertised as being "able to fix anything but a broken heart", how it is for handling the sort of stresses of a twisting plate?
And how does it handle stress fractures and failure?

It is either JB weld or I find someone with a welding kit. Or go hit the yard sales, etc.
