J-B Weld ClearWeld 5 Minute Epoxy, Clear, Syringe, 2 Pack, 50112-2

The product is fine but came with some leaking of the glue in the packaging.

The epoxy worked great to adhere a golf shaft to the hozzle adapter of a Callaway driver. It was easy to mix and apply, set up well, and is working fine on the golf club. I had used a different epoxy in the past that was for golf clubs. It was more expensive than this one and the two bottles held way more epoxy then I needed. By the time I tried to use it for a second club it would harden.

This was a good buy for the quantity of epoxy. I had need for large amount of epoxy for a few projects and this worked great. However, the longer you *dont* use it (after opening for first use) it will start to get harder and harder (by itself) to squeeze out of the bottles. I keep these plastic bottles inside of sealed glass jars now. I have the same problem with Gorilla glue: great when you first open it, but the remaining yet-unused stuff gets harder and harder by itself. So, great if you need it now. Only buy the amount of 2 part epoxy that you are going to use in a year. After that, it will be too hard to mix.

We used this to seal a tank on our camper. Worked great and sealed the leak

bonds well

Got this to fix some plastic toys and it worked great. It worked so great that I had to break the toy to get it unstuck from my work table

J B weld is awesome and never lets you down. If you do the correct prep work it will work better than any other brand epoxy.

I frequently need to attach metal hardware to wood, and of all the epoxy products Ive tried so far this has been my favorite. The bond is incredibly strong. I havent done any stress/failure tests, but Ive yet to have anything separate. I also appreciate having 5 minutes of set time; there are quicker options out there, but when I use those I find myself stressing out about how much time I need to spend mixing, there is less time to get your parts aligned, and you dont have as much time for adhering multiple work-pieces from a single batch. I find that this product has just the right balance of setting quickly enough that you can get back to work in 30-45 minutes, but you have enough time to make sure everything is in the right position before it gets to gummy. When its about 60°F in my garage, I find that I have about 8 minutes of total work time before the epoxy becomes unworkable. The replaceable cap does a really good job of sealing both reservoirs and preventing curing at the tips (just make sure to back off the syringe slightly before replacing the cap so it isnt pressurized). The packaging comes with a small popsicle stick and theres a concave section in the front cover for mixing; I always use a folded piece of aluminum foil and a lollipop stick for mixing since I do all my projects in a well-stocked garage, but this would be a handy option if you didnt have other supplies available. Some reviewers have commented that they have issues with bubbles, and although I never have this problem, I know why it can occur. If you are mixing the epoxy in a very warm (80°F+) environment / in direct sunlight, it will froth a bit and introduce small bubbles; when possible do the mixing in a cooler environment in the shade. Your mixing technique can also introduce larger bubbles; it should be mixed like drywall mud on a hawk, not like eggs being beaten in a bowl. If you constantly lift your stir stick and push it back down into the epoxy, you will force air into it and create large bubbles that are nearly impossible to get rid of. Instead, constantly keep the tip of your stir stick in contact with your mixing vessel stirring in tight circles; when the epoxy becomes too spread out, use the side of your stir stick to squeegee it back to the middle, then twist the stick to clean off the excess, and resume mixing. 2 or 3 cycles of mix > re-consolidate > clean stir stick should produce perfectly mixed epoxy free of bubbles.

I see a few reviews complaining about the container being leaky and others about the cap welding shut. Its a syringe. Both of those problems are solved by pulling the syringe back up after you push out what you need. The remaining liquid is drawn back in and does not mix. I honestly think their packaging is fine and nifty, but I have to agree that perhaps they need to improve it if a large portion of their consumer base has difficulties with it. Additionally, as long as you have applied pressure to the center or entirety of the syringe, equal amounts have to come out of both sides, even if one side comes out first because it is more fluid. I suspect some people pulled the syringe away before it was finished releasing. One side is clear and the other is yellowish, and they settle into semi-circles so you can eyeball the amount if you really feel you need to. In summary, I didnt have issues with mixing at all. The epoxy definitely set around 5 minutes. It is hard to get a very small amount out of the syringe, but the smallest amount I could get out was enough for what I needed it for. It set quickly enough that I hardly needed tape to hold the pieces of broken porcelain together that I was adhering. The downside was I didnt get to wipe off some of the excess because it set in the time it took for me to finagle some of the final pieces in. For a porcelain/ceramics job, it works well. I cant speak to any other material, but I do believe the mixing is going to be the same across the board. I think it is important to highlight, like a couple of others have, that the epoxy is still tacky after several hours and should be probably be left to cure for a good 24 hours.

The rotating lid is a complete Rube Goldberg machine. Complexity for complexitys sake. Very difficult to tell which direction without looking closely. The old lid worked fine, why change?
