Default JB Weld 10an bung on oil pan??

I know this is gonna sound fkin retarded but has anybody with a fabricated steel oil pan used high temp JB Weld to glue a weld bung to the oil pan for a turbo drain?? When I was putting the engine together I completely forgot about the turbo drain into the oil pan. I only realised what I forgot a few days after I had put the engine in the car. FML!!! All opinions welcome along with all the other bullshit?? I can take it

No way. That will never survive. I doubt you could even get the fitting tight without it breaking off.

Pull the pan off and do it correctly now. Otherwise, you'll be doing it later when you don't have time.
