Epoxy General Purpose High Strength 5 min 25ml

DESCRIPTION:

Rapidstick™ 5 Minute Epoxy is a high-strength, versatile, non-shrinking, two-part dual syringe adhesive, which delivers equal parts of both the epoxy resin and the hardener with every use. When mixed, the reaction produces a tough, rigid bond in 5 minutes for quick project completion.
5 Minute Epoxy is ideal for metal and hard material bonding, as well as mold infusion. It can also be used for electronic parts insulation, moisture-proof potting, and privacy masking, and is compatible for use on a wide range of other materials as a gap filler or for surface repairs and laminating. Combining 5 Minute Epoxy with fiberglass cloth creates a durable patch, and tinting with earth pigments, cement, or sand allows color matching. Once dry, it can be rubbed back and drilled.
5 Minute Epoxy is resistant to water and most common solvents, drying clear and making it perfect for transparent repairs, or projects that require invisible seams.
Recommended bonding surfaces include, but are not limited to:

• Metal
• Glass
• Ceramics
• Wood
• Rigid Plastics
• China
• Tile
• Fiberglass
• Concrete
• Stone

PRODUCT LIMITATIONS:

• Not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, non-stick coatings, nylon products, or flexible materials
• Not suitable for applications requiring short-term heat exposure greater than 150°C
• Not recommended for applications with prolonged water immersion
• Not suitable for use on potable water systems

APPLICATION:

Note: The dual syringe this product arrives in will ensure that both Parts A and B are dispensed equally, so no manual measurement will be required.
On a clean mixing surface, dispense equal measurements of Part A (Resin) and Part B (Curing Agent). Stir thoroughly clockwise along the inner wall of the mixing surface.
For best results, apply a small amount of adhesive to both surfaces within 1 – 2 minutes of mixing, and press together. Support the bond for up to 10 minutes at room temperature.
