Gorilla Epoxy Clear

I first acquired this epoxy to repair a custom, cast, resin, wall sculpture of a Great Blue Heron (in flight) that a visitor had removed and dropped, causing it to shatter into four pieces along its four foot wing span. Initially, I also purchased three foot long, aluminum braces to reinforce the sculpture’s wing span. To my amazement, with only a modest amount of this Gorilla-brand epoxy applied to the joints between the broken pieces — and no structural reinforcements — the entire wing span of the sculpture is fused with such strength and rigidity that I can support the entire weight of the sculpture (80 lbs.) at anywhere along the wing span without it flexing or coming apart. This is really astounding. The entire sculpture may actually be materially stronger than before the repair. For safe measure, I added a smear of the epoxy along the back side of the sculpture along all along the fracture joints. It is now so rigid and strongly bound that I can tap the tips of the wings and the entire sculpture resonates like a metal gong, which means it is, for all practical purposes, fused into a uni-body entity. Some tips: 1. There’s a plastic wand wedged between the push-rods of the dual syringe. You need to break this wand out of there to be able to fully depress the syringe. Personally, I found a wooden popsicle stick to make a much better wand for mixing the epoxy and applying it. 2. You’ll know that the epoxy components (resin and hardener) are properly mixed when you can smell a temporary stink like rotten eggs. Soon after, the epoxy will catalyze and generate heat. From that point, you have 5 minutes to apply the epoxy before it starts to thicken and set. Thus, to maximize your work time, you can start applying the epoxy as soon as your smell the pungent stink. The stink goes away as soon as the epoxy starts to set. Full strength and cure, which is when no tackiness can be felt in the epoxy, occurs at around 24 hours, 3. The epoxy has a thick consistency, like honey. It fills small gaps extremely well and will self-level to an extent, removing brush strokes and smoothing over depressions. It is clear with a very slight amber tint. It goes on clear and cures to a clear, tough-as-nails finish. 4. I recommend wearing nitrile gloves as you work with this epoxy, as if it gets on your skin, you’ll need acetone to remove it. Acetone is very effective at breaking down this epoxy before it cures. However, once it cures, the acetone will not soften or dissolve it. 5. If you want to shape or flatten the epoxy — on the back of a sculpture for example — after it sets, you can lay the side of the item with the epoxy against a polyethylene sheet on a level floor or table top. The epoxy sticks like crazy to resin, metals, wood, stone, glass, leather but will not adhere to polyethylene plastic. After the epoxy cures, you can pull away the polyethylene sheet and the epoxy will be hard and smooth like glass. It will bond strongly to 3D printed thermoplastics like PLA. 6. As long as you keep the resin and hardener separate, these components will last a surprisingly long time. Working over several days to join each fractured piece of the sculpture, I left the nozzles of the double syringe uncovered and the epoxy components easily remained viable for several days. For longer term keeping on any open syringe, just stretch a section of duct tape over the nozzles. 7. Where a really clean joint is needed, applying the epoxy to just one side and pressing the parts together will give surprisingly strong adhesion. However, for maximum strength, I recommend applying epoxy to both sides of a joint and letting a “bead” ooze out along the joint. On the cosmetic side of your project, the bead can be smoothed out before the epoxy cures. I recommend leaving the raised bead on the non-cosmetic back side of any such workpiece, and after it cures, coming back with more epoxy to smear over the bead to create a wider seam patch for maximum joint strength. The fresh epoxy adheres well to any old cured epoxy. The stuff is for certain a resin, and will practically weld any resin components into a rigid uni-body. This epoxy lives up to its brand name of being gorilla strong.

★★★★★ Excellent epoxy for repairs! I used this Gorilla 2-Part Epoxy to repair my Murphy bed, and it worked exactly as I hoped. The bond is extremely strong, and once it cured, the repaired area felt solid and secure. It was easy to apply with the syringe, and the clear finish looked clean. One important tip: make sure you mix both parts thoroughly before applying. If you don’t mix it well, it won’t cure properly and may stay sticky or fail to bond. Overall, this is a great product for furniture repairs and projects that need a strong, durable hold. I would definitely buy it again.

its two parts you gotta mix it together but first make sure the area to be glued is clean and dry has no forign objects dust, grit oil. if its a really smooth surface consider scuffing it . makesure your peices fit mix only as much glue as needed. but theres always some left so find another object that needs glue and have it ready because this glue sets up in less than five minutes. wipe away any drips or runs immediately. as soon as your parts are positioned correctly leave them be theres time to reposition if needed but do so quickly, one moment its liquid the next it is too firm to be moved. so only spend 30 seconds mixing it. its a good strong glue for permanent fixes. trim any extra as soon as possible as it hardens quickly. dollarstore versions leak and are a mess before you can even use it. this is clean, no leaks, its not expired, strong, clear glue. not for things that get hot or go under water. practice glueing something similar first. good glue job is in the execution and prep more than the glue. use the right kind of glue for the job

Good tape for repairs. Short curing time

The Gorilla two part epoxy worked beautifully for my application- a broken mounting bracket for a rather heavy refrigerator drawer pull. The pull has an internal plastic "block" that is essentially the bridge between the pull and the mounting post on the drawer face. The block receives the mounting pin on the drawer face as well as the bracket and screw tab for the handle. It was broken into two pieces and useless. A new handle was $145! So, plan B- epoxy. I've used many varieties of two part epoxies in more applications than I can list. Some manufacturers/products are better than others. Some are easy to dispense and work with; some are not. I was extremely satisfied with the Gorilla brand epoxy. The dispenser was simple and effective. As a nice bonus, the blister packaging is designed as a mixing tray. The epoxy was not crystal clear, but nearly devoid of color/tone. I mixed it smoothly and got no air bubbles- which can plaque two-part repairs. The consistency was Goldilocks right- not too thick, not too thin, so the manufacturer's proportions for both compounds was s[pot on. Workability/working time was perfect- about 4-5 minutes before the compound firmed up. I let it rest/cure for 24 hours before re-installing the pull because I applied it thick- basically filling the pull's mounting housing. Once installed, I was thrilled! The drawer takes a reasonable tug to open, and as you can hopefully see in the attached video, the bond is rock solid. I saved $135 and the drawer operates better than factory.

Good product after it sets up it held the plastic bumper together, so far so good

Believe it or not… but I use these to glue horse buckets back together! If it is a clean crack, I apply duct tape (gorilla) to the outside, apply this to the crack, then tighten my duct tape to pull the crack together! I have extended the life of many buckets for many years! They live in the full sun and have not had an issue with this product at all! I normally will trash the bucket after they smash it a third time lol!

This does not harden like regular epoxy. Like the label says, it is "tough". Which means it is more rubbery than hard, like E6000 but less flexible and stronger. Must be good for some purposes, unfortunately not for mine. I was expecting a regular epoxy. I will order J-B Weld 8276 and see if it sets up hard. Each cost $6, so not a big deal. I post this because you should know that this might not be what you expect. It got a 3star because I was discppointed, not because it might not work for your needs. I like the wood working Gorilla glue that expands and fills whatever.

pegamneto muy fuerte y resistente, aun a través del tiempo conserva sus propiedades. fácil de preparar. yo le usado para sellar unas conexiones de tubería y me ha funcionado muy bien. solo hay que dejar secar por al menos 12 horas sin contacto con el agua o presion

جربت انواع كتير ، ده أفضل نوع. طبعا أغلى كتير من أي نوعية اشتريتها ، صناعة امريكي.

Although there was a problem with the product, the seller has went over and above to resolve the problem. you can't beat that. Thank you!

جربته بلاستك مع حديد وانتظرت ٢٤ ساعة وانفك بسهولة مع اني اتبعت التعليمات

強力な接着力で短編満足しています。
