Bob Smith Industries BSI-205 Clear Slow-Curing Epoxy Resin for Durable Bonding

Robert: I used this to bind an inert 20mm shell and bullet so they wouldn't come apart. It does get a little on the warm side and I was a little worried that the heat would build some pressure and push bullet out. It didn't and now I have a conversation piece.

Aaron BergAaron Berg: This is a long set epoxy so no need to rush. Mix is 1:1. After mixing, leave it alone and it will degas the bubbles by itself, THEN apply the finish. Here I used a playing card to apply a thin line along the cue while it was spinning, then using the card I pressed until the bubbles were not visible, lifted the card and moved one space over until I'd covered the whole cue. Sanded the next day and applied again. Sand smooth, wet sand, polish. Results are great. This product was fresh with low gassing, real low.

Chris Plemmons: Used for attaching wood knife handles and it works great. I've never had a knife handle come off after using this product. Easy to use and affordable. Does a great job.

Stephen L. Tench: I bought this after my 9 oz. supply of Great Planes 30-minute epoxy finally needed replacement. It took me 8 years to use it all up, so I thought this smaller size of a similar product would work just as well.

I use epoxy to glue together 3D printed materials, including PLA and PETG. I find epoxy to be a more reliable adhesive product than cyanoacrylate "super glues." Unlike super glue, I've never had an epoxy glue-up fail, and it does much less damage to my fingers and nails.

I also use epoxy in my home woodworking shop to fill and stabilize knots in wood, to fill occasional open spaces in finger joints, and even to fill the rare misplaced mortise hole. For me, it is a lot easier to use than mixing sawdust into yellow wood glue, and the result even after sealing with polyurethane looks just fine. I can even securely re-cut mortises into epoxy filled spaces.

As I expected, the Bob Smith epoxy works equally well to fill flaws and repair knots. I bought the 4.5 oz. package. My only complaint is that the smaller bottles are stiffer, which makes them harder to squeeze and dispense product than I got from the previous product. Not much of a complaint, really, and...
