Araldite ARA-400003 Standard Syringe Epoxy, 24 ml

Difficult to beat it for some jobs, it’s been around for years and still comes out tops, the quick set version still gives time for adjustment. Wear plastic gloves!

Not instant drying but when left 24hrs gave a good bonding strength. Can realistically only get two uses out of syringe whereas tubes can be used many times. Overall a great product

Does the job well

It's been my go-to epoxy for many years, it works perfectly every time and I can absolutely depend on it. It doesn't set quickly, so that makes it really good because it's not a race against time to get the glue where you need it before it goes off, or, to remove glue where its ended up in exactly the place that you definitely didn't;t need it! The syringe dispenser makes it really easy to use, when I first used araldite it was in separate tubes, which is ok, but it's far more messy and you have to ensure you dispense the same proportion of both parts, it comes with a stick to mix it, but I just use tea/coffee stirrers, you only need to mix it for 30 seconds and you can tell when it's mixed when you cannot see any streaks in the resin. I use my stirrer to apply the glue, in my pictures I filled a void in a 3D printed part, although the epoxy is quite a "stiff" glue, it will fill gaps as it levels itself, this allowed the epoxy to fill around my "joint" piece which connected both haves, I placed my part face down on glossy card. You need to clamp your pieces to hold everything in place while it sets, you definitely don't want it setting with pieces in the wrong place because they're not coming apart ever, I use some cheap clamps and they work great. You can see on the front that the epoxy levelled and filled in the tiny gaps, resulting in everything being bonded incredibly well, you would break the bits that weren't glued before you had anywhere near any issue with the glued section. I left it clamped for 8 hours, after which I removed the clamps and then let it sit overnight, the following morning it lifted straight from the glossy paper and revealed a very clean joint. As this part is going to be painted, I used a coarse grit sandpaper to gently and methodically work over the surface until it was level with the printed parts, at that point I worked up in various grits to 3000, after which the area where the joint and glue was smooth and flat and you are unable to feel any difference in the surface between the printed parts and this joint section, it's completely merged into the whole part. It really is one of the best glues around.

Absolutely rubbish; the complete contents had set solid before I had a chance to use it.

Bought this to refix a golf head back to the shaft after it came flying off. A year on and it is still fully intact. Great strong bonding product which ill use again.

Plus points: the dispensing and mixing tube is great - last time I used 2 part araldite I remember mixing it on bits of carboard with match sticks - that's been consigned to history - the pack is great. Negative points: 1 - despite the claims - it did not stick the plastic parts I bought it to stick, and I had thoroughly cleaned the parts with IPA before. I'll now need to try another adhesive of some sort. 2 - there are only 2 mixing tubes so if you only use a little glue each time you could end up being left with a lot of adhesive in the tubes and then needing to mix together on a piece of card with a matchstick So a bit disappointed to be honest

Really easy to use. The glue is fantastic for sticking soles of shoes. Our Grandson has a tendency to drag his feet. Saves buying a new pair of £40.00 shoes. Dries very clear.
