Amazon Customer –
I’ve been using this product since the 1970’s! Nicely “grippy”, perfect hardening time. Great for wood-to-wood contact. Keep a set around – it’s really handy!
My Opinion –
The package arrived quickly, even faster than expected.
There are two bottles in the package. Neither one of them filled to the top, but it came with factory seals and the weight is as indicated on the bottle. This is not a “shortage” but simply how it is packed , although it is unusual to see that bottle can hold possibly 15% more without overflowing.
The resin is thicker tan another epoxy I used. It possibly had some minor crystallization when I first received it, like few sand granules on the top of the bottle. I have microwaved it as some other reviewer suggested for easy mixing. Microwaving does work. The crystallization seems to disappear and warm resin is easier to pour.
The setting time is short. in a few minutes it becomes too thick to apply, like molding clay. You can use it as a filler but not as an adhesive at that point.
After an hour it remained somewhat rubbery not solid. After 24 hours it became solid plastic although somewhat brittle.
Overall works as expected. Good product and price.

Great. This stuff says six minute, and in six minutes you can no longer work it. Easy to dispense, easy to mix, and sets fast. I have had so much crap over the years that claimed to be 5 or 10 minute, only to be holding pieces 15 minutes into the process…
If you need to add extra strength, cut up some steel wool or fiberglass with scissors (be careful, as these will really stick you in shorter lengths) and mix with it.
Update: After a few months, this stuff becomes too thick to work with in the bottles. It might hold up better frozen? However, if you don’t plan to use most of it within 6 months, you might find a lesser quantity for less cost.

I have been using this epoxy for a while now, and it is great. The 6-minute time is spot on; however it starts to get gelatinous around the 4 minute mark, so if you are bonding multiple parts take that into account.
A lot of people have been giving it bad reviews because of what they call “spoilage”, “hardening”, etc. of the resin. They just don’t know that is actually a crystallization process like it happens with good honey. It is completely normal, and reversible. All you have to do is heat the resin to melt the crystals back into solution. A quick 10 second nuke in the microwave will take care of it; be careful though, as the resin seems to absorb microwave heat even faster than water, thus only heat up in 5 second increments.
I also nuke both resin and hardener from about 10 seconds before each use even if there is no visible crystallization, just to lower the viscosity for my particular application.

Like others have noted, mine arrived with the resin already hard. This epoxy has a short shelf life. But, if you get fresh bottles, it is a fantastic product. Just don’t open it, use some, and expect it to be any good in 4 months! Or, in this case, when you first get it. Seller is sending old product. Again, though, the actual product is great stuff.

Works great for quick jobs. It really does set up in 6 minutes or less. Mix it up well. It turns a little milky when well mixed but dries clear. Need to work fast, 6 minutes goes quick.
Hank –
Finally got around to using this glue. It’s great. Only thing is, it hards in about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes so work quickly!!! Love it!
SOME OF YOU MENTIONED IT GOT MILKY LOOKING OR HARD and didn’t work. I’ve had mine for 5 years. What a pleasure to have good Epoxy when you need it! Mine gets “hard” or “crystallized” ever so often. The solution:
Take the glue (even Elmer’s) and put in in HOT water for 5 or 10 minutes. It’s like brand new for a long time, then do it again if necessary!!!!
GREAT PRODUCT

Great epoxy for fast set time. Great price for volume of epoxy. Unused adhesive last a long time so it is much cheaper than buying the small tube available here and in big box stores. Surprise full cure time is only 2 hours but I prefer at least 12 to 24 hours before using repair object for full strength.
