What we liked

  • + 30-minute working window leaves time to position, align and clamp large assemblies
  • + Thicker gap-filling formula bonds wood, fiberglass, metal, glass, ceramics and most plastics
  • + Described as forming a tough, impact-resistant bond once fully cured, for high-stress joints

Trade-offs

  • - 4.5 oz combined is half the size of the 9 oz slow-cure set this pick replaces
  • - A 30-minute epoxy is slow for small parts, where a 5-minute formula is more practical
