The Curse of La Patasola: Curse or Psychological Mind-game?

The Curse of La Patasola Legend The curse of La Patasola is a popular legend in Latin American folklore. La Patasola is described as a fearsome creature with one deformed leg and metal sharp claws. She is said to lurk in the dense forests, waiting for unsuspecting men to prey upon. According to the legend, La Patasola was once a beautiful woman who was cursed by a jealous rival. The curse transformed her into a monstrous creature, doomed to wander the forests for eternity. She is said to be particularly vengeful towards men who resemble her former lover.

It should be adequate for many things and it is fast and won t run but it is not nearly as strong as regular JB Weld and other re enforced liquid epoxy putties.

Numerous variations of the legend exist across different countries in Latin America, each with their own unique details. However, the main theme remains consistent - encountering La Patasola brings disastrous consequences.

Blue Magic Quiksteel epoxy putty??

Ive always kept some epoxy putty around the house for general purpose like fixing holes or patching cracks in metals and or plastics. I just ran out of my Loctite putty and no one sells the Loctite general purpose putty locally so i went up to Napa and picked up some Quiksteel epoxy putty. Its suppose to be able to fix holes and cracks in all kinds of things. Anyone ever use the Blue Magic Quiksteel putty? It used to be known as CarGo Quiksteel putty.What were your results?

I put a hole in my clutch cover on my dirt bike while out riding. Send my riding partner (girl friend) back to my house to get my tube of that and a quart of oil. Kneaded it up, plugged the wiped off but still a bit oily clutch cover. Waited 10 min, poured oil in and off I went. Solid seal. Rode a short bit 2-3 times until my replacement cover came in.

Stuff worked awesome.

Edit: I think the hole was around 1/2"

Yes it works well. Just don't get in a hurry. Let it cure. Its hard in about 15 min but give it a hour or better.

A lot of companies make a similar product and the main difference seems to be the color. JB weld makes one and has strength specs on it. It should be adequate for many things and it is fast and won't run but it is not nearly as strong as regular JB Weld and other re enforced liquid epoxy putties. I used some to patch a cracked ABS drain pipe that had cracked in an awkward location, next to a fitting and it is still holding. Tinted tan, they sell it for wood putty. I guess somebody must make a poor version but I have used this stuff back to the 70s and it was all pretty much the same. I agree it is best to stick with reliable brands. JB's version should be in your big box store.

I've tested cured disks of mixed JB Weld that I mixed but didn't use. It's supposedly "tougher than steel", but in my experience the JB Weld will snap in to pieces easier than old cheap brittle cast iron. Maybe you need to use the JB on something that gets continually heated like an engine to properly cure it.

While not as convenient for all tasks, the Loctite Metal/Concrete two part epoxy sold at places like Home Depot, has held up far better over time than the JB I've used. it becomes harder over time, but not brittle like the JB two part epoxy. I've also used it to patch horizontal waste pipes in a pinch. I'm not sure how well it would hold up to continuous high heat.

Since I've seen a range of opinion about JB Weld on forums, I went looking to see if there might be a reason. I ran into this test on Youtube.

ive seen that video before but im asking just about the putty style that comes in a plastic cylinder tube. Its a two part where one part sits inside the other part and you knead it together to mix it up and it dries to a solid rock

I haven't used the brand you mentioned, but I have used a different brand of the two part epoxy stick putty. I tried using it at one point to patch a broken pipe I didn't have great access to on the recommendation of a plumber I knew. It didn't really seal the pipe well, but it was good at filling it the somewhat open crack in the pipe, so I could use a thinner more spreadable epoxy over it to fill in any leaks that remained. The plumber I mentioned really liked it, so it may work better for repairs you have more access to, so you can see the repair better. It could also be removed later from more solid surfaces like cast iron pipe, using a hammer and cold chisel. The putty seamed to be less brittle than JB Weld. A similar putty is sold for filling in wood, so it's probably usefull to keep around for jobs like that, since regular wood putty can shrink on larger voids, and tends to be brittle. It's also fairly clean to work with, although you should keep some denatured alcohol or everclear atound to clean your hands if you don't use gloves while mixing it, since it will still leave residue on your hands. I don't know how well it would work for paching a plastic bucket, or some other types of plastic. I believe it does work well in ABS and PVC, although better on ABS. It is usefull to keep a stick or two around for emergency repairs.

Whenever La Patasola targets her victim, she uses her bewitching beauty to attract him. Once she lures him into her grasp, she reveals her true form and attacks, tearing him apart with her sharp claws. Some versions of the legend even claim that she drinks the blood of her victims. The curse of La Patasola serves as a cautionary tale, warning men to be cautious and not be tempted by false appearances. The legend also symbolizes the dangers of desire and the consequences of infidelity. To this day, many people in rural areas of Latin America claim to have encountered La Patasola or know someone who has. These stories are often told as cautionary tales to young men, warning them to stay away from the forests at night and to be faithful to their partners. Though La Patasola remains a legend, her story continues to be passed down through generations, reminding people of the consequences of giving in to temptation and the power of curses..

1. Ryan - 2 stars

I personally did not enjoy "The Curse of La Patasola Legend" at all. The storyline seemed weak and predictable, with no real surprises or twists. The acting was also subpar, with unconvincing performances from the main cast. Additionally, the special effects were lackluster and did not add any excitement or thrill to the film. Overall, the movie failed to capture my interest and left me feeling bored and disappointed. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating horror film.

2. Sarah - 1 star

"The Curse of La Patasola Legend" was a complete waste of my time. The plot was non-existent, and it seemed like the filmmakers relied solely on jump scares to create any semblance of horror. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth, making it impossible to form any connection or investment in their well-being. The film also failed to deliver on its promises of an intense and terrifying experience. Instead, it felt like a lazy attempt at cashing in on the popularity of supernatural horror movies. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.

3. David - 3 stars

While "The Curse of La Patasola Legend" had its moments, overall, it fell flat for me. The pacing was extremely slow, and at times, it felt as though the film was dragging on with unnecessary scenes. The mythology surrounding La Patasola was intriguing, but it was not explored enough to create a truly engaging narrative. The cinematography and soundtrack were decent, providing some eerie moments, but they were not enough to salvage the overall lackluster experience. I wanted to like this film, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver the scares and suspense I was hoping for.

4. Jessica - 2 stars

I was not impressed with "The Curse of La Patasola Legend" whatsoever. The story lacked originality, following the same predictable horror tropes we have seen countless times before. The jump scares were too obvious and relied heavily on loud sound effects rather than genuine fear. The dialogue was cringe-worthy, with unrealistic and cheesy lines that took away from any potential terror. Ultimately, the film failed to leave a lasting impression and felt forgettable. If you're a fan of the horror genre, I would recommend looking elsewhere for a more satisfying experience.
