Bob Smith Industries BSI-201 Quik-Cure™ Epoxy - 4.5 oz. Combined, Clear - 5-Minute Fast-Setting Adhesive for Wood, Metal, Glass, Crafts & Repairs

I've been using JB Weld 5 minute epoxy for the last couple of years. It does not set in 5 minutes, it's a small quantity, and it's hard to squeeze a syringe style for tiny batches. This stuff however, solves all three problems. I repair old talights that are broken. Very small batches, fill a crack, mend, sand, repeat. The squeeze tubes make it easy to dispense small quantities. You always mix well, but I don't go nuts and it sets fine. I have not timed how quickly it kicks off, but it's quick, and very close to 5 minutes in a 65 degree garage! Bond strength seems good. 1968 Oldsmobile Toronado Tail Lights do not exist, so I fix what I can find. With a quick scuff, it holds well and supposedly cures in one hour. Lastly, quantity and price. You get way more than the syringe style, can use less, and it costs less. Definitely the best bang for the buck. Great product, definitely recommend wholeheartedly.

It works as intended and dries quickly with a really strong bond. I could not ask for more.

Used to use lactaid epoxy and they stopped making it. Found this stuff of Bob's it's a good deal and a very good price I'll be using this from now on.

This epoxy is easy to use, however in my experience it takes longer than expected to harden and cure. Initially when mixed, it's a thick fluid - about like honey. After 5 minutes it's thicker and stickier - this is approximately the maximum working time. After 1 hour it will be solidified and will give decent strength, but will still be slightly soft and tacky/chewy. In my experience it takes several days to lose all its softness and reach its final hardness and strength. My experience only - yours may differ. Other than the longer-than-expected cure time, I'm content with this epoxy. It bonds very well to glass; I applied a small test amount on a mirror which I was unable to chip off after 2 days. However it did not make a permanent bond to most plastics I've tried. Many plastics are notoriously difficult to bond and require a specialty plastic adhesive. The epoxy resin (black bottle) has virtually no smell, but the hardener (red bottle) has an awful smell which thankfully dissipates by the time the mixture is fully cured. The tiny caps are easily misplaced - they should be tethered like on plastic condiment bottles. This 2-part epoxy isn't cheap, and mixing it is a bit of a chore, but compared to cyanoacrylate/super glue you get a huge amount for the money, and it doesn't harden in the bottle - its shelf life is years. It can do some things that super glues, waterbased glues, and polyurethane glues can't. Every time I come across a repair around the house that needs it, I'm glad I have it.

This stuff is SUPER strong and easy to mix / use. It does smell at first but that dissipates fast.

Excellent epoxy. Used to make a handle for an old tool. Set up nicely. Solid. No complaints.

Easy to mix. Easy to use. Sets in minutes and works great.

This product does exactly what it is supposed to do. The quantity is more than needed for small projects, and it does not lose its efficacy over a long time. My last purchase was to replace the product I bought 9 years ago. The hardener had become very thick and was hard to dispense and mix with the epoxy. I consider this shelf life to be very good. If you think you may ever need epoxy for a large job in addition to small jobs, this is a good product to have. For large jobs, you can use the graduation marks on the sides of the bottles to ensure that the same quantity of hardener or epoxy is dispensed.

much cheaper than Bunnings

Excelente, justo lo que buscaba para reparar una porcelana antigua de mucho valor sentimental para mi. Lo recomiendo

Really good glue very pleased with it. Would definitely order this again.

Es un buen producto, cumple con todas las especificaciones que anuncian. Lo uso para hacer mangos de cuchillos Une perfecto madera, cuerno, piel y metal. También lo usé para reparar un cajón del refrigerador, para esto hay que limpiar bien y secar, dejar que se cure por 5 minutos y de preferencia dejar más de 1 hora fuera del refri para que alcance su máxima resistencia. Sin duda lo compraría de nuevo

Great for bonding FDM 3D prints (in combination with dowels), easy to mix, you get a few minutes working time, what more to ask for?
