 No, according to their website, standard JB Weld and Waterweld are 
 nonconductive. I have some hardened Waterweld here that I just tested 
 with the ohmeter and there is no conductivity. They do have a steel 
 reinforced one thought that would be conductive I suspect. 
 
 Why would I want to test this stuff in the microwave? 
 
Remember that testing with an ohm meter is testing at DC. RF wise, it  
might be a different story. 
 
Regardless of matters of conductivity, insulators are cheap enough that  
they would be a better choice than repairing a broken insulator. I'd be  
very skeptical of the structural integrity of such a repair, especially  
if the break was not caused by impact. That would mean that the break  
was caused by structural stresses, and would likely recur.
