Bob Smith Industries BSI-201 Quik-Cure™ Epoxy - 4.5 oz. Combined, Clear - 5-Minute Fast-Setting Adhesive for Wood, Metal, Glass, Crafts & Repairs

I've been using JB Weld 5 minute epoxy for the last couple of years. It does not set in 5 minutes, it's a small quantity, and it's hard to squeeze a syringe style for tiny batches. This stuff however, solves all three problems. I repair old talights that are broken. Very small batches, fill a crack, mend, sand, repeat. The squeeze tubes make it easy to dispense small quantities. You always mix well, but I don't go nuts and it sets fine. I have not timed how quickly it kicks off, but it's quick, and very close to 5 minutes in a 65 degree garage! Bond strength seems good. 1968 Oldsmobile Toronado Tail Lights do not exist, so I fix what I can find. With a quick scuff, it holds well and supposedly cures in one hour. Lastly, quantity and price. You get way more than the syringe style, can use less, and it costs less. Definitely the best bang for the buck. Great product, definitely recommend wholeheartedly.

This has to be my favorite epoxy I have ever used. I have some at home and a bunch at work. It's easy to mix up and sets up pretty quickly. Mostly have used it with plastics and wood successfully. Tried once with rubber and it didn't work so great. The bottles seal nicely with their little caps and I really like the clamshell package which can be reused, so that I don't loose one of the bottles if they were lose and all alone.

This is my go-to adhesive. Works better than almost anything else, and I've repaired it all at this point, from plastics to marble chess boards. Don't waste your time with superglue or anything else. This epoxy is the way to go, and is a great price for the amount you get. It also won't go bad/harden on its own, since it's two part.

great epoxy glue easy to use

This epoxy is easy to use, however in my experience it takes longer than expected to harden and cure. Initially when mixed, it's a thick fluid - about like honey. After 5 minutes it's thicker and stickier - this is approximately the maximum working time. After 1 hour it will be solidified and will give decent strength, but will still be slightly soft and tacky/chewy. In my experience it takes several days to lose all its softness and reach its final hardness and strength. My experience only - yours may differ. Other than the longer-than-expected cure time, I'm content with this epoxy. It bonds very well to glass; I applied a small test amount on a mirror which I was unable to chip off after 2 days. However it did not make a permanent bond to most plastics I've tried. Many plastics are notoriously difficult to bond and require a specialty plastic adhesive. The epoxy resin (black bottle) has virtually no smell, but the hardener (red bottle) has an awful smell which thankfully dissipates by the time the mixture is fully cured. The tiny caps are easily misplaced - they should be tethered like on plastic condiment bottles. This 2-part epoxy isn't cheap, and mixing it is a bit of a chore, but compared to cyanoacrylate/super glue you get a huge amount for the money, and it doesn't harden in the bottle - its shelf life is years. It can do some things that super glues, waterbased glues, and polyurethane glues can't. Every time I come across a repair around the house that needs it, I'm glad I have it.

I purchased this based on reviews and it performed just as an epoxy should. I should have gotten the medium work time version for my purposes, but I needed a resin shipped fast. I used it to coat a dishwasher rack ( I stripped it of rubberized paint and converted the rust first) that had started to become rusty and abraded by a decade of heavy use in the extreme environment of a dishwasher ( more than 100 degrees heat and moderate water pressure). Hopefully it lasts. I got the idea to use this instead of the appliance paint repair because a 2-part epoxy resin lasts a lot longer than any paint.

Keep this on the shelf.. it’s awesome!!

This epoxy is a high-quality that excels in performance and ease of use when mixed thoroughly. Its fast curing time, strong bonding, and durability make it an excellent choice for many projects that require a high strength adhisive.
