Epoxy resins
Epoxy resins are tougher and more durable than super quick setting glues or solvent-based hobby glues and in most instances can substitute for these.
Type of glue:
two part resin and hardener generally sold in a twin syringe Typical uses:
repairing china, glass, metals, porcelain, wood, concrete, rubber, pottery and some rigid plastics Method of use:
repairs which have to be held together until the adhesive sets two parts are mixed together (generally in the same proportion) and applied to both surfaces Clean up:
clean up with acetone (nail polish remover) before it sets Setting time:
from five minutes to one hour depending on the brand there are 90 second setting formulations but there is a trade-off in reduced strength Exclusions:
not suitable for gluing polyethylene (such as clear plastic bags) or polypropylene (such as a plastic bucket) Storage:
sealed containers will last for years if in a tube ensure correct caps (normally colour coded) are replaced Example products: Selleys Araldite, Bostik Epoxy Bond, Fullers 4-6 minute
