> 3 dayI used this to hold the suction mount for my navigation to the hard plastic part of my dashboard. Normally, I dont like epoxy mix glues because (1) they are messy, (2) they dont dry properly if not mixed exactly right and (3) they take a long time to set & dry. However, after trying and failing with super glue and silicone glue, I tried this after reading the many reviews. GREAT STUFF! First of all, it comes out mixed in the correct proportions - just make sure you keep the plungers in sync while pushing them down. I applied it to the suction cup of the navigation mount, pressed the mount onto the dash and held it in place with duct tape while the glue was curing. I left my sunroof tilted open to allow the fumes to vent. Soon after applying the glue, the temperature dropped significantly, to as low as 40 degrees. I was worried that would prevent the glue from curing correctly. But, no problem. I removed the duct tape after a full day, tested the bond by applying increasing pressure to try to remove it. Since I was only mounting a GPS unit, I didnt exert extreme force, but far more than the GPS would place on the mount. It held tight, so I connected the GPS (a 7 Garmin). It has now been mounted for several weeks. During this time, I have driven over some rough roads (and my car has a very still suspension) and the temperature in the car has varied from 100 degrees to 40. The mount has held tight and firm. The glue did give off some odor while curing, which lingered in my car for about a week, but nothing extreme.

> 3 dayAdhered canvas top to rear window glass of convertible along bottom edge. This item didnt set up quick enough to fix this problem to begin with. I first used M50 GUOELPHANT instant adhesive for shoe repair and all purpose, sets in 10-30 seconds, from amazon. This helped to bond the rigid canvas to rear glass in reasonable time in small sections at a time. After this used JB Weld clear 5 minute quick set to apply a 1/4 bead along canvas top and back window seam. If you try this particular job clean and dry all surfaces well to insure a good bond.. Also used a wooden cuticle stick to mix and apply the JB Weld..Hope this helps someone..

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayMy skill with this product is not the best, but I was able to repair things using this epoxy for which superglue and gorilla glue had failed. I suggest wearing disposal gloves when using. And I remember each time I use it as Im trying to clean the epoxy of my hands.

> 3 daySome 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.)
