It's weird to me how common sense use of things like JB Weld, glue, fillers abd just about anything else has gotten so uncommon that we all post about it (-:

Re: Advice on Castors?
Theory of mind.
The problem with common sense is that it is not "common" as in held collectively and equally in a population.
"Sense" (as in common sense) is actually idiosyncratic rather than common. "Common sense" is built upon individual experience, gained first hand or vicariously at second hand from others. It is an accumulation of knowledge that informs intuition and instantaneous understanding.
Many things about talking machines that were formerly baffling to me but which were "common sense" to others here are now common sense to me, as well, because of the kindness of people here willing to share the depth of their experience.
I did not know about JB Weld previously. And it would not have occurred to me to try using it to restore a worn out castor.
I did not know about Weldbond glue and its effectiveness at repairing cracked and broken 78s.
Etc. Etc.
