> 24 hourGood working time and solid adhesion, just as youd expect from JB. Cap leaves no guesswork for resealing. Will order this again. Used for a bone knife with antler handle. I mixed antler dust with this epoxy for an appearance of flawless fit. Worked perfectly.

> 24 hourClearWeld always worked well for me and I assume its still a good formula, but J-B Weld has downsized it so small (for the same price, of course) that a Hershey bar -- the old downsized cliche -- looks massive in comparison. The problem is that the plunger-driven openings are so small, its hard to see whether youre squeezing out an equal amount of epoxy and hardener. That was always something of a problem because youd usually have to press one side harder than the other -- they never seemed to come out equally. But you could eyeball what you were squeezing out much more easily than you can with the new baby sized version. J-B Weld should just put the material in separate tubes, like a lot of other products.

> 24 hourExactly what I needed easy quick use and goes on clear but a tiny dot spreads big, value is good goes a long way but you will need to purchase more tips if you’re going to use after one use and it is a small tube but seems like it will go a long way and be able to be used a lot.

> 24 hourWorks with about 5 minutes of pliable time before starting to gel. Takes a full day to really setup hard. I clamp or appy pressure with weights for good adhesion. The dual dispenser eork pretty good but you need to make sure no air pockets or you wont get the proper proportion of mixture. I like it... holds well.

> 24 hourIs really strong, I used to put some bathroom appliances, the only problem is that is too liquid initially. Your probably need to use some soft tape to keep things in place while it cures.

> 24 hourDifficult to use and re-use cap once glue material builds up…and it will. Plunger apparatus works well to disperse glue for mixing. Effective adhesion but let sit overnight.

> 24 hourSome things about this epoxy glue make it distinct from other quick set epoxies Ive used... But it does work pretty well especially for some use cases. First, the cap. It has a GREAT cap if you can remember which orientation to put it back on as, because if you get it backwards, then youll glue the cap to the syringe! So, twist the cap open, then BEFORE pulling it off, with a sharpie mark a line on the cap that continues on to the syringe. Then youll never have to guess the cap orientation - just line up your lines. Second, the set texture. My end result is firm but a little rubbery. This seems like potentially a good thing for ceramic especially. Third, the set time. Maybe I have an odd batch? But I was expecting it to set in 5 minutes, and it didnt. This was a problem because I didnt have a clue how long to hold my piece. Needs 10 to 15 minutes. It just starts getting tacky at 10 to 12 minutes for me after thorough mixing. What I learned is... using a piece of cardboard and a toothpick... * Squirt some out on the cardboard. * Mix it for 3 minutes. You have to really mix it very well. * Apply to both sides of your piece thinly, but dont press them together * Keep mixing the leftover. When it starts to get tacky.... however long that is (it might be 10 to 12 mins) * Press the sides together and hold gently for an additional 5 minutes. * Sing a song while you do this to help not get bored out of your mind while you hold! Fourth - adjustment! Because it takes a long time to cure, its still soft and pliable 20 minutes after it sets. THIS IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE if you think about it, because if you have several pieces to glue together, e.g. a handle for a mug, you can work on the remaining pieces and theres some flexibility if you didnt get the joint exactly right for the glued joints to bend a bit while setting the next segment. Lastly - cure time - it *really* needs 48 hours. Not 24. Dont get tempted to use too soon! I havent yet tested for diswasherability or mircro-waveableness. Id not use it for a food-contact bowl on the inside. Who knows what its made of (except of course good ol J.B.)

> 24 hourThis glue is exceptionally strong. I used it to repair some broken glass and steep furniture pieces and the bonds came out very well. The fact that it is an epoxy style (meaning that it wont turn sticky until the two substances come into contact is a real plus for storage, because it means you likely wont run into the glued top phenomenon we all have dealy with. To use, you simply remove the top, and press the plunger into some type of plastic disposable item. When you have enough gue dispensed, you take a disposable stick or straw and mix the two substances together as thoroughly as possible. You then apply the glue and hold the pieces together for an initial set. I used 60 seconds for the initial set, but it probably depends on what you are trying to glue. The idea would be to have some type of pressure, be it a weight or a clamp (or even a rubber band) holding the parts together for 24 hours to reach a permanent setting, but mine turned out great after a minute and then not toughing the items for 24 hours. This is a reasonably priced, well-working glue that I can highly recommend. I like it better than super glue, but of course, super glue can be used for things that need instant adhesion and play well (not all substance do) with super glue. This glue seems like it would work with a wide range of materials. Five stars.

> 24 hourI use this for 3d printed projects and it works great with ABS, PLA, and others

> 24 hourThe mixing tray doesnt quite fit the entire contents of things, but if you just use the other side of the plastic part I think it would be totally fine. I used this to repair by car bumper and it worked super well. It did take a little while to set, so I had to find a way to hold it in place while it did, but it has absolutely held up.
