$5-$30/pkgEpoxy Adhesive for Structural-Strength Bonding
Two-part epoxy adhesive creates structural-strength bonds between virtually any rigid material. Mixing equal parts resin and hardener triggers a chemical reaction producing incredibly strong rigid bonds resistant to water heat chemicals and impact.
Key Features
- Structural strength bonding
- Two-part mix system
- Excellent gap filling
- Waterproof and chemical resistant
- Bonds most rigid materials
- Multiple cure speed options
Specifications
Mix ratio: 1:1 | Set: 5-60 min varies | Full cure: 24 hrs | Tensile: 3000-4500 PSI | Temp resistance: up to 200F | Cleanup: acetone before cure
Best For
Structural repairs furniture joint reinforcement metal to wood bonding filling voids and any application requiring maximum strength and gap filling.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓ Extremely strong structural bond
- ✓ Excellent gap-filling
- ✓ Waterproof and chemical resistant
- ✓ Bonds almost any rigid material
- ✓ Multiple working time options
Cons
- ✗ Messy two-part mixing
- ✗ Not flexible once cured
- ✗ Difficult to disassemble
- ✗ Exothermic in large volumes
- ✗ Requires accurate mixing
Installation Tips
Clean and roughen both surfaces. Mix equal parts thoroughly for 1+ min. Apply to both surfaces and press firmly. Clamp or tape until set. Thicken with colloidal silica for gap filling. Work quickly with fast-set formulas.
