wow, that was nice! I've been looking at epoxies to repair a chip in the edge of the toilet tank, the only other thing I would have been interested in is, comparative hardness... some projects want a more flexible result, for some... like repairing ceramic, need an epoxy that dries hard.

how was the odor from the Devcon epoxies? ive used JBweld and Gorilla 5 min epoxies and the smell was incredibly strong and just a small amount stunk out my work area in my open air patio
The ones supplied in the syringe type dispensers are, but they are mostly for quick fixes when you want it to stay where you put it to cure. "Table Top" types of epoxy are thinner to spread evenly and self level before they cure, but they take a lot longer to cure.
most epoxy brands that sell 1 gallon cans that you can find are usually more thick than big brands like Pro-Set but if you can only find one that happens to be a thicker viscosity you can use a blow dryer to warm it up BEFORE mixing with the hardener and it’ll make it more runny and easier to mix and apply to fiberglass
I refuse to work with epoxy with out having Nitrile gloves on. Think black paper might have shown the results better. That being said, like the vid, excellent explanation.
I put some jb weld clear epoxy on my grandmas dentures and it worked very well actually. She was eating corn on the cobb like nothing but then she died from mouth cancer for some reason. But anyways, jb weld is a great product!!
I been looking up why the epoxy I bought was impossible to squeeze out the tube. I've never used it before so I didn't know what was going on. Guess it's just way past the expiration date or something. Everything I see on videos is a gel that comes out of the tube very easily. Guess I just need to take it back & buy some from somewhere else.
I'm a year late here but it being super hard to get out of the tube means either the resin got contaminated at the tip, or more likely that its just an old tube. Resin will "freeze" (crystalize) as it ages. Placing it in a hot water bath (I forget the exact temperature, like 135 Fahrenheit I think? Basically hot tap water) for a bit can melt it and once it cools it will remain melted for quite some time again.
Epoxy probably won't stick to the type of plastic used in gas tanks, and if it did, the epoxy would get brittle from the gas exposure pretty quickly. I would not recommend it.
No, it won't fill the crack, stick to the surface, or make a tight bond. There are specialty companies that will do a repair, but you are probably looking at a new tub.
I bought some five minute cure time epoxy from gorilla... It takes about 3 hours for it to cure fully even though I am doing everything to the correct specs (i.e. Mixing, Gluing, Heating up to remove bubbles) What do I do?
I have not tried the Gorilla brand, but most epoxies have a "Working time" and a "Cure time". They will set up in 5 minutes and be hard, but don't get tack free for hours. It may be more of a marketing issue than what you are doing.
Gorilla glue is crap. They only have good duct tape. Watch the project farm videos and you will see. I bought some gorilla glue that said it could glue several things and it did not. I just used regular jb weld and that worked. Cheers
@@SDsailor7 I used Gorilla epoxy 2 days ago to try and join 2 parts of a small glass fibre bracket together. I did everything correctly and left it 24hrs, i picked it up this morning and tried it to see if it had worked, it just fell apart. I scrapped all the glue off and scrapped the surface of both parts to ensure there was no contamination again. I washed both surfaces the first time but did not scrap them. I hope tomorrow morning they have held, if not it will be back to Araldite 2 part epoxy.
Pulling back on the plungers after use tip alone is worth the price of admission. I have a project where I need to glue two pieces of work that don't want to come together due to warping and I have to hold the work by hand until the epoxy sets. So 5 minutes is better than 7 minute. I figure I can hold the work together for about 15-20 minutes before I'll grow too antsy to remain with my vice-like grip holding everything together. 6 minutes to the "gummy" stage? That does me no good. I need 5 minutes to equal the hard-as-a-rock stage. Per this test I'd say the Devcon is the epoxy for me EXCEPT it's tensile strength is the same as Loctite's 1 minute epoxy: 2500 PSI.

Not gonna lie this was actually real helpfully especially for the fact that the jb clearweld syringe is what I bought. Good work😎.
Question for you - which do you think would be best to mount a hook to a tungsten jig head?
strength and price are the main factor for me, not too fussed with apparance but depends what you're doing.
which color in the tube is the hardener? can you do a loctite epoxy
Is there a way to thin it so it's brushable? Want to repair a pitted wheel bead.

Geed ventilation is the best solution with any epoxy. I haven't had a problem with smell using the Devcon products.
For some reason it’s taking mine longer to harden maybe I didn’t mix it long enough
Any videos on strength?
great video thanks! are most common off the shelf epoxy low viscosity?

Hi, whats the clips you used as tweezers called to pick up the cured resin?
They are called hackle pliers. They are a standard tool for fly tying to hold on to small feathers while working.
Cheers for that appreciate it!
Is this a good alternative to electronic potting compound for small projects?
Not sure what to tell you on that one.
Hi, would you say all of them are good for fixing a denture tooth to pallet ?. Not botherd about hardening time.
I wouldn't put any of them in your mouth.

Can I heat up epoxy after its mixed to keep it at a certain density?
The quick setting epoxies generate their own heat after mixing to help the fast setting. Adding more heat will only speed up the curing process.
