Bob Smith Industries Quick-Cure 5 Minute Epoxy, 9 oz.

Virginia: This product is fantastic. For a 5-minute epoxy it works great. I did not give 5 stars because they are now providing smaller bottles than my last purchase. Capitalism......

Richard: Brilliant product, would not use anything else for epoxy.
Especially when I am making knives and using epoxy to hold the scales on.

Neville Mould: I use that product fairly regularly for various jobs. I first started to use it more than 20 years ago when I built and flew model aeroplanes. It is so useful for a wide range of jobs and so good because it begins to set in 5 minutes

Browser: Much better than epoxy in small tubes and infinitely better than those appalling double syringes which never seem to dispense equal volumes of epoxy and hardener. These bottles are a nice soft sqeezy plastic with good long colour coded nozzles and clip on caps. It's easy to dispense very small quantities by eye and for larger mixes there are clear graduations on each bottle. It sets quickly and gives a good strong bond. It's the only 5 minute epoxy I'll consider buying in future.

Loliv: Bon voilà c’est fini, je n’achèterai plus les colles de grande surface ou autre magasin de bricolage.
Là j’ai un gros volume pour un prix modique, je ne suis pas prêt de vider les flacons !
Impossible de se tromper de bouchon, chaque flacon à un embout de couleur différente!
Comme écrit dans l’annonce, la réaction chimique se fait en mins de 5 minutes, je dirais 3 minutes même et c’est largement suffisant !
Avec deux flacons souples vous pourrez doser exactement pareil niveau colle et durcisseur, fini les collages qui ne se font pas!
En gros, que du positif !

Lisa Kearns: We bought a Delta hand shower for our second bathroom, and it came with a suction cup mount for the wall. The suction cup wouldn't stay on the fiberglass shower surround even with Gorilla glue, and I was angry over the poor design of a $50 product. I was also worrying about the relatives who would be here for Christmas and using that bathroom.

I took a chance and ordered this epoxy, after remembering that my father used epoxy in the 70s for tough jobs. I measured out the exact same amount from both bottles onto a piece of cardboard, and mixed it with a toothpick. I applied it to the base of the wall mount (after cutting off that stupid suction cup) and held it in place until I could tape it with painters tape. I took the tape off this morning and WOW! It's stuck firmly on the wall, and easily supports the weight of the hand shower. I even pulled on it quite a bit, and it's mounted for life!

I can't recommend this product enough! It holds like iron, it's relatively inexpensive, and because the two products are in separate bottles it won't get hard and be ruined like Gorilla glue and Super Glue tend to do.

A few words of advice - have all your supplies laid out...

Why_me: Updated review -- 3/31/2019:
I only use this glue occasionally and it has served me well. However, today I discovered that most of the hardener has solidified within the past year. There was a little left so I could get my small gluing project done, but I now have over a half bottle of the product that I cannot use. The problem is even worse for the 15-minute version of this glue; all of the hardener has solidified. I used it even less often, so over 80% of it has gone to waste. Next time I will buy a smaller bottle of epoxy.

Original review -- 12/16/2012
The other reviews are correct about this glue drying quickly. It worked well for a suitcase repair I did where I had to hold together pieces of a plastic frame under tension while the glue set. I found that I could let the glue sit for about 2 minutes after mixing, then quickly apply it, hold the pieces together for another 6-7 minutes, relax my grip of bit, and then stop after 10 minutes total from mix time. It helped to have a timer in front me while I held the pieces together. If you get the glue on your fingers while you are holding the pieces, you should move them around a bit to prevent them from sticking fast....

uster Tennison: ...I use it for putting wooden duck wings back together, the kind you fly out side in the yard, in the wind and the weather, nothing is impervious to the weather. ...when the wood breaks at it's weakest point and you have to do a butt joint ...to glue them back together, which is a hard to glue right, ...I usually put a splint on the repair, either a thin piece of veneer or you can use ...fiberglass cloth or ...double face carpet tape ...which acts kind of like a clamp, even thin cardboard. Bob's is good stuff, dries hard in 5 minutes, It can be messy like a mayonnaise sandwich, be ready, gloves are hard to work in, just be careful, It will wash of, eventually,...go slow and have all your parts,clamps,rags ready, ...I do a rehearsal when I have a lot of parts to do. It dries hard, smooth and clear.... I like it! ...and using the tubes that are supposed to mix them selves, ...DON'T ....and you waste most of it ...unless you are going to use it all. I pulled back like it says to do ...to release the air ...on the self mixing tubes and had it all spill on the floor. With Bob's you use the amount you need, ...just put equal amounts of A & B on something you can through away ...and...

WhiteLion: I have been using two part epoxy since I was a teenager(don't even ask how long ago that was!). I've always bought it in the standard syringe tubes. I had never been able to dispense just the right amount of part A and Part B as the syringe would inevitably shoot out more of one than the other. I also found I was always using far more product than I needed as the epoxy kept coming out until you pulled back on the syringe plungers.

With the two separate bottles, I can get as much or as little product as I want and in equal amounts. Plus, at 9 ounces total, compared to the syringes, it works out to $2.90 per ounce instead of $5.00 per ounce. Seems like a no brainer to me.
[Edited to clarify error per input from another member].

The only question is, does it work? I have used it extensively since purchasing the product and it holds every bit as well as any other epoxy I have ever used.

I have to warn - when it says Quick it means QUICK!!! Three minutes tops. I did not "snip" off the top, I used a small nail to puncture into the middle of the nozzle. That way I can dispense small amounts. Have your ducks in a row and ready to go before mixing and applying....
