Loctite Epoxy Instant Mix, Translucent Yellow 5 Minutes, 0.47 fl oz Syringe, Pack of 2

(*Updated on 26 Feb '23*) I've used this on about a dozen (maybe 2 dozen-ish) different projects since I purchased it about 18 months ago and used it on different craft mediums. I've come to the conclusion that the only con is what I wrote when I purchased it: It takes longer than 5 minutes to set (ie set enough to not have to hold pressure yourself). A few pointers: 1- Purchase this product. (No, really. Purchase it. It's THAT good.) 2- The colder the product, the more difficult it is to work with. As such, trying to push it out with the "syringe"/plunger proves to be frustrating. 3- Immediately after you apply the epoxy, before you even adhere the objects together, pull backwards on the epoxy plunger. This will, so long as you pull the plunger back far enough, prevent the epoxy from spilling out of the tip and gunking up the lid. 3- (No time recommendation here) Use a warm, wet ("wrung-out" wet not dripping wet) cloth to clean up any tip seepage before you close the epoxy "syringe". 5- Give a shout out to Dr. Sylvan O Greenlee for inventing liquid epoxy. 6- Use the epoxy. 7- Run out of said epoxy. 8- Repeat Steps 1 - 7 as needed. (Original review directly below and prior to the 26 Feb '23 update this had a 3/5 🌟 ranking. Update includes changing that to a 5 out of 5🌟s.) Pro: A little goes a long way Con: It takes longer than the 5-minute set time it professes. TIP: If possible, clamp your pieces together to ensure successful adherence.

I needed to repair a split leg on a side table. It is used in the family room, so it needs to be durable. I live in Hawaii, so humidity has to be a big consideration. That made epoxy the "go to" product for my project. I have never worked with epoxy before. I have been intimidated about getting the correct balance of epoxy and hardener. That made the idea of a "self-mixing" tool ideal. The instructions are pretty basic - also very straight forward. I did have to fidget connecting each piece, but that was due to my lack of attention to physical shape of the syringe and nozzle connection. The fit and turn instruction is easy enough to follow, if you look at the design of the nozzle end. Once it clicked (literally), the nozzle worked perfectly. The dual syringe is compact enough that you can control application very easily. No mess, no fuss! Well, the only mess was due to my inexperience. But it was easily addressed and cleaned. The instructions are pretty basic, and fairly straight forward. If you do what the instructions tell you to do, it's not a problem. The label says "translucent yellow." To my perception, it was clear from start to finish. The solution worked smoothly and adhered well in less than five minutes. I clamped the joint and left it to sit overnight. Today, the table is back in place and the only evidence it was ever broken is a small hairline "scar." I would absolute recommend this product.

I had recently purchased a amazing double wheel Barrow. It was top of the line and top of the line cost as well. I was very stupid and threw a large log in it. The wheelbarrow was heavy duty plastic and cracked. I purchased this and used An entire to whun on each side. So a total of 2 tubes, one on each side. I didn't really expect it to work.. And it didn't. Haha. But it was very easy to use and seemed to be high quality. I was just asking too much for the epoxy. Lol. I ended up taking the wheelbarrow apart and putting a plywood Cut out underneath. The epoxy has not broken loose completely yet, But it will soon. I do believe the plywood is going to be the winner lol. But Again I feel this is good a epoxy and I absolutely love the double tube. I can remember the daze of emptying to 2 or however much needed to use and mixing them together. This was a much easier way. Overall I would give it 4 stars. Even though it DIDN'T work!

This epoxy works great. I use it as my general go to whenever I have to do a plastic repair. Here is what I like: - 5 minute set time and full cure overnight - Wide range of plastic compatibility - Two mixers included - Ability to reseal If I just need a dab, I do not use the mixer. Put some on a piece of dark cardboard and mix manually. The mixers are good if you need to mix a larger amount. TIP: I found that if I wait about 2 minutes, it starts to get tacky. If you do not wait, this stuff is slippery. Put the epoxy on then wait until it gets tacky before you assemble. Then, whatever you are putting together will stay in place easier.

Works great

This product is a chap alternative to other epoxies, but that is reflected in the product. The hardener is not effective and must be mixed manually, the stick is not strong. The strength is reduced compared to other epoxies, and after the solution has dried for several days, it is still sticky and not very strong. The product advertised setting in 5 minutes, however, it takes several hours for it to react and finish. The black push bar makes it easy to apply with little force, but do keep in note that it will be hard to push at first, and then after the epoxy starts moving it becomes a lot lighter to push and asker to over apply. I found it handy to start pushing and stop right after, and slowly apply more incrementally. PLEASE, PLEASE, do this is a WELL ventilated, before this dries, epoxy fumes are TOXIC, especially to people with asthma. This product is good for light, hobby crafts, as the price is good for that, but it should not be used for anything critical or beyond hobby crafts.

I can't speak to other applications but this was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a strong epoxy which would flow well into crevices but was thick enough not to run all over, this is about the consistency of cold maple syrup upon dispensing but hardens within a few minutes to tacky and then starts to solidify. I had a barrel shaped wiring harness with a number of wires close together, which would move and touch each other at extremes. I applied the epoxy to the wire ends, which were soldered in place, and then wrapped tape around the area to make a tube and then filled the area to make a solid epoxy plug. I did it once and let dry for a few hours and then did the process again. The result was exactly as desired, all the wires are encased in epoxy and the strain relief slides over the epoxy plug. The epoxy resin cures up very hard in 24 hours but it does not seem to be brittle. It fills gaps well and is not difficult to work with. If I was using this for any other application, I would ensure the work I wanted to connect was sanded and de-greased, to provide the epoxy something to grip onto. Perhaps this is the problem some folks are having who have rated this product low. I found it perfect for my needs.

This epoxy was about as easy as it gets to use. I researched for quite awhile to find the best adhesive for my mirror on my car. My mirror had come off and I needed to reattach it. This epoxy came with 2 nozzles. Open package, break the end off, attach the nozzle tube, press the plunger in and the glue mixes and emits on the end. I applied a few circles of thin epoxy lines on the mirror and held it against the mirror blackplate. Moving the mirror piece around for placement, spread the epoxy in a even layer, and viola in 5 minutes it held in place, and 24 hours later is permanently affixed the mirror backplate. Perfecto ! Issue resolved !

Its not that strong glue what i expect to be , but is doing the job.

Quickness of sealing Used to attach metal lamp to cement base.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Gut für unterwegs.

Used it for the first time so i has some trouble initially. But glue is strong and i have no complaints. The instructions say point up to let bubbles rise but the opaque label sticker on it blocks entire contents of tube from view. You can rip it out and then follow the instructions. I also messed up while doing the "pull plunger back a little" part and ended up popping it out and getting glue on my hands and hurried to get it back in. Worked well for the first application. I set aside the glue tube for 2 minutes and tried to continue with application and the glue at the nozzle had already dried. tried a few things but couldnt get glue to flow. Luckily they gave a second nozzle. Switched to it and applied all the glue in one go this time.

Este adhesivo es ideal para uso profesional, ya que cuenta con su punta mezcladora y la aplicación resulta fácil y limpia. Cuenta con 2 puntas aplicadosras y en caso de requerir más aplicaciones, se puede mezclar de forma manual. La primera dureza se logra a los 5 minutos y la dureza funcional altededor de 20 minutos, aunque es recomendable dejarlo curar por 1 hora. El adhesivo es transparente pero se pone amarillo conforme pasa el tiempo de curado. Yo utilicé este adhesivo para reparar una bocina.
