JB Weld in Australia? For 360 Laptop

Hey guys how is it going?

Can anyone please tell me if JB Weld is available in Australia I am going to try and make an XBOX 360 Laptop using bens tutorial but this is one of the things I can't find in the hardware stores I have been to for modifying the cpu heatsink.

I have got two 360's now (incase I stuff the one I am working on), and have just bought the 17" widescreen monitor not the same brand as what Ben used though it is a veiwsonic.

I am also going to see if I can get to a couple of plastics and sheet metal joints this week and hopefully get some of the case parts made up.

Any help appreciated, thanks for reading.

If it isn't available in Australia, I'm sure you could get an American member to buy some and send it to you (for a fee, of course

).

Isn't JB Weld metal based though therefore a conductor? Most other epoxies are plastic based aren't they?

i heard somebody talking about ben's laptop and they said that his heatsink with the copper was inappropriately jbwelded together because jbwelder is not a conductor, but an isolator. im not 100% sure on this, but its what i heard. if you had a welder, you would be better off doing real welds.
