SEM40502 Dual-Mix Quick Set 50 Second - 1.7 oz.

I don't know if this is a compliment or a complaint, but this epoxy glue is FASTER than fast!I didn't time it, but in my estimation it actually starts setting in 30 seconds, and is fully unusable by the time you hit the 50 second mark!I used it for a repair inside my car (glove box face), reattaching a plasticized foam covering to a hard plastic surface. Can't say if that was plastic-plastic or plastic-(whatever)? So far, one week later, it seems to be holding, I think. I'm cautious about the effectiveness because it seemed too easy to peel off a few stray drips & smears after I finished.Inherent problems with the speed of the set:- if you are using it in smaller doses and need to clamp items together, especially curved, non-linear/non-flat surfaces, there is barely time to set & adjust clamps before this is already 'dry" (firm)- if you are doing smaller doses and need to stop momentarily to clamp pieces together, the epoxy hardens inside the mixing/applicator nozzle and the nozzle must be discarded. (The package comes with two nozzles, but my advice is to buy extras.) Unless you will be using the entire tube quickly and all at once, you'll need extras. They're available here on Amazon. Here's a start for the search: https://smile.amazon.com/Static-Nozzle-Adhesive-Applicator-Cartridges/dp/B07XYXBTJJ/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=epoxy+mixer+tips&qid=1623348904&sr=8-6- if you don't have spare nozzles and need to manually mix the 2 parts, it is almost hard before you finish the swirling/mixingYou will need an applicator gun to use this - it doesn't come with its own plunger. I can see why. It's too fast and there isn't time to try to squeeze out "just a little more" of one side or the other, as often happens with a manual plunger. The SEM gun is crazy expensive, but I found a $22 gun here on Amazon that works perfectly; unfortunately couldn't find a single Used one for sale anywhere, for my 1-time use. But you have to add this cost to the price of the gluing task.On the up-side, as long as there's a nozzle to use, you can squeeze this directly onto the surface of your project and skip the perfect ratio & thorough/even mixing requirements.After a few hours researching the best glue product for my project (unable to find any EXACTLY similar examples of use) and reading reviews & warnings about Quick-set 50 being fast (and to wear gloves), I decided this was a good choice. Time will tell how well it holds up as a glue, and now that I know that 50 seconds is the LONGEST you'd have to "wait"!Anybody looking for a half tube of the epoxy, with no nozzle tips, and a very gently, temporarily used applicator gun, let me know! (Just kidding.)

Used this on a recommendation from a body shop I trust. I had a bumper that on one side it had been removed from the body due to my own carelessness. I used quick set 50 to hold the bumper back in its correct position and you can't even tell I hit a curb. This stuff works great but fast so if you are needing to make a quick job of putting part of a panel or bumper back to your care rest assured that this will do it!

Amazing, and super strong product, but you better be ready to work fast.
