Title: Best epoxy glue or other?
Post by: guitarlute101 on August 28, 2014, 01:44:48 AM

Hi everyone,

  I wanted to check in to see what you are using when you need to glue plastic or resin but need more time than super glue allows before it sets.

  I've been reading up on some 2 part epoxies but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with any glues of this type.

Thanks,

Mark

I use the same thing, Mark, only not nearly so skillfully.  I use the Loctite brand, readily available here in the states.

How easy is this to sand ?

I wonder if this would be a better substitute for filling seems rather then using a think super glue ...

I use both -- epoxy to position / initial assembly and then CA for strength.

@ Terri -- epoxy isn't the greatest for filling / sanding because it remains slightly flexible after curing. And it is quite toxic and messy.
