Thread: Which epoxy do you use?

Reece! I have tried them all and have found the best one for me is the el cheapo brands from the $2 shops.. In fact I found it to be better than some of the more expensive brands. I used one made by Bostic and although it worked okay was about 6 times the money and no better than the cheap one and the smell from the Bostic one is foul.

i use araldite , super strength ( 24 hour ) most of the time ,5 minute stuff when i am in a hurry.

I use this one
Gary Pye Woodturning :: Gary Pye Woodturning - 2 Part Epoxy
From GPW cheap and good also comes in a large quantity so you do not run out half way through a job.

i did use the cheap stuff on most of the glue ups

but when i had a real scrappy piece of burl, i always went to the 24hr there is a big difference between them

now i use super glue and have just got some vice glue to try, i can't use epoxy due to allergic reactions

MIK

I use 'vice' polyurethane for wood (Bunnings sell it)
5 minute araldite if in a hurry
and always use a 2 part epoxy for acrylics - usually araldite 24 hour cure

Hey There,

I use araldite 24hr, I tried Superglue, have a few blanks with tubes only half in and some munted up ones I tried to push in, I can get West Systems pretty cheap, but not as cheap as Araldite.
