DrRockso Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 I have a question about Extreme Power 5 Minute Epoxy from Hobby Lobby. Basically I have never used the stuff. But I want to know about premixing a larger amount and putting it into a separate bottle? Will it just harden on me? Or can I mix up a smaller bottle and leave it and use it over the course of a week or 2? I have alot of smaller parts I want to glue on and I would prefer not to have to mix hundreds of small batches wasting alot every time... So whats the verdict?
Schmitz Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Mixing the two parts makes it harden, so you can't pre mix it. Some epoxy comes in a double syringe applicator that makes it easier to mix small amounts. Don
DrRockso Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Posted May 14, 2012 I thought that was gonna be the answer. Thanks
DrRockso Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Posted May 15, 2012 Yes, but this was a better deal. So I will have to make it work...
VonL Posted May 29, 2012 Report Posted May 29, 2012 I use this stuff for all kinds of applications, mixing smaller amounts in disposable bottle caps with a toothpick. Only drawback is that it's a bit gooey, does not flow out like most superglue and smaller amounts make it slightly more sensitive to imbalance of the 50/50 mixing ratio.Otherwise: Hardens in five minutes, cures a bit later, tough as nails. Love it.
