EPOXY, ADHESIVES

Description: This is a two-part material consisting of a catalyst and a hardener.

Buying information: Epoxy components are mixed together before use. It is a very strong adhesive and can be used to bond things like metal, glass, and ceramics that other adhesives can't glue. It sets in any time from 1 minute to overnight.

How-to hints: Some epoxies dry amber; this may be objectionable on ceramics and the like. After bonding parts, you can add extra strength by applying additional epoxy over the bond line.
