JB Weld 50112UK ClearWeld Quick Setting Epoxy 25ml, Clear, 25 ml

Great for repairing most plastics (but not polystyrene). Easy to use and a surprisingly strong bond. It cures quickly and can then be sanded if necessary. After use, be careful of the orientation of the cap when replacing it - otherwise, it will bond and be extremely difficult to remove in the future! Quick delivery and a reasonable price

This product's strength lies in the speed at which it adheres and forms a strong-enough bond. Even though full strength is not achieved for 24 hours ( that needs to be said ) it does "go-off" in around 5 minutes - and that means whatever is being stuck together has a better chance of staying together. If you're working with two pieces that can be readily clamped together then a traditional epoxy will perhaps produce a stronger bond, I won't pretend that I know either way for sure, however in my experience is the real challenge is holding what I want to glue together in a firm and consistent way for the many hours needed to get that proper bond. If the "things-to-be-bonded" are regular in shape etc then there is little issue, in a vice or a clamp, or just a level surface, and we're done. However, when say fixing things together that are oddly shaped, so fragments of something wishing to stay broken (thanks gravity), one can hardly stand for hours on end holding the bits together. Using tape and clamp/s etc can help, but only if it's possible to get good purchase on the parts and too many times I have returned to find more irregular shaped things have moved; either failing to bond or bonding misaligned. On this occasion I had a shattered plastic "bumper" body panel from machine to repair, where nothing is regular and the object itself is relatively bulky. With this product I had the ability to get the jigsaw together in a timely fashion - and the pieces (aided by some masking tape) stayed where they need to be. (In the interests of the narrative once the shattered panel was pieced together I reinforced it with fibreglass and resin, but to get there I needed it to be firmly together, this product achieved this, and was strong enough to support the mended panel being manhandled on the bench before reinforcing, and the product did sand back at least as well as the plastic itself) In conclusion the best two pack epoxy glue I have used.

Good stuff. Really strong bond and dries quickly

GOOD STUFF CAN'T FAULT IT

As the advert says, it's great for mending and patching crockery and cups; the bone china mug handle that I glued back on is standing up well to daily use, and it was a great help (mixed with a little gold mica) in filling in a chipped ceramic bowl. I've even used it to adequately fixed a cracked bamboo cup. It's also easy to use and comes a stirring stick and a mixing plate built into the packaging. It's also much better for small quantities and odd jobs than the large containers. Although I would advise waiting a bit after mixing and applying to surfaces before trying to join the break. As otherwise you will be sat very still for 5 minutes, trying to hold the pieces together without shifting them even slightly, lest the pieces become dislodged during this time (very easy to do). The curing time of 24h+ seems accurate, although I would advise leaving for longer, as the polymer can appear still malleable, and almost mouldable, within this window in some case. Where it falls down is with robustness and lasting adhesion in more porous/ natural materials, such as antler, bone, wood,... especially if the fixing points are small (such as on a ring). In these materials/ at these scales, the fix doesn't really hold past a couple of uses (or 24h of wear for a ring) - at least that has been my experience. Pros: - Easy to use - Fairly quick - Much less wastage than larger containers, and the air-tight anti-mixing cap seems to do it's job well - Adequate instructions (with a few experience-based modifications) - Great for ceramics & crockery Cons: - Really not great for bone, antler, etc. - Not great for small surface area joins, in terms of setting times and overall robustness

Good stuff this. I’ve used on metal (aluminium alloy) modelling joints and for ceramics and it works fine. The key bit is to get the proportions right. They really do need to be as near 50:50 mix as you can get or it takes longer to fully cure. Once mixed it last around 5 minutes before the curing begins to make it thicken up and become increasingly difficult to use. Full curing is several hours, and I wait for at least 24 before putting it under real stress. It doesn’t cure completely clear but is fine on things such as cup handles where the joint it clean. It’s not going to show on white ceramics for example. It’s important to make sure the fit is good, and possibly a bit if support to make sure the fit is tight. Also, wipe any excess off at once as once cured it will need aggressive measures taken to remove overspill!

Great Product.... Does what its supposed too
