Great work beachcove, can you post some pics of your repairs?
Used the same product (JB Weld) to repair a 12" PB a while back; the previous owner pried it open with a screwdriver to get access to the hard disk (normal people remove the 20+ screws and top case to gain access to it), once the metals were bent back it too came up nicely. Same goes with my Hackintosh in a G5 case - the JB Weld is proving a success mounting the entire PC motherboard.
I find for a reliable join, you still need to use a liberal amount around the join to gain greater surface area. On regions that need particularly strong holding power, making a small metal collar (eg. from a piece of bent aluminium) around the join helps. Otherwise, it will snap off cleanly within time.
