DON'T USE SUPER GLUE! Try This Instead..(Epoxy Adhesive/5-Minute Epoxy/Epoxy Glue)

Many people turn to super glue for small household repairs. And super glue is good...but there's something better for many applications. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will teach you all about fast-setting epoxy adhesives!

EPOXY ADHESIVES are two-part adhesive compounds. They generally consist of a RESIN and a HARDENER.

When you mix the two parts together, they undergo a chemical reaction, and a very strong bond is formed!

This bond is measured in TENSILE STRENGTH.

The average strength of many domestic epoxies is 1500 PSI to 4000 PSI.

Epoxies are often categorized by the amount of time it takes them to set. 5-minute epoxies are very common and popular.

To use 5-minute epoxies, simply break off the cap (save it) and push the syringe plungers to eject the two chemicals. Mix them in the supplied plastic mixing tray with a small piece of wood or plastic.

(Use gloves and goggles for safety when doing this!)

Swirl the two epoxy chemicals together thoroughly, then trowel them onto the area you want to repair or attach. Bond your desired components.

You'll often need to keep some pressure on the repair for several minutes. You can do this with finger pressure, or possibly small clamps if you can place them.

Though cold temperatures can slow things down, a decent bond should be formed in roughly 5 minutes. Now, let the repair further harden and cure for a full day and night. You'll have a repair that is incredibly strong.

Thanks for watching!
