Default RE: Glue

I have just received a G-flex (2 part) Epoxy kit by West Systems. It is in-expensive @ $16.20 for 8 oz. It is very interesting.

It says it will will glue, wet or oily & hard to glue Woods. Aluminum, Fiberglass, ABS, Masonary, Metals, Plastics, PVC, Polystyrene, Polycarbonate, Polyethylene. I wonder if this covers Depron & Epron? I think that I read somewhere that it will work with StyroFoam & Polyurethane foams. I will check that out if I can.

The kicker appears to be 45 min. working time, 7-10 hours initial cure/24 hours total cure. Slow but strong. 150,000psi modulus of elasticity (whatever that is). Sounds like a heck of a glue if you can hold the project until it sets up.

It states it is formulated to: Absorb the stresses of expansion, contraction, shock and vibration & to be a bit more flexible than other standard Epoxies and Polyester glues. Ideal for bonding dissimilar materials.

I think I will find a use for it. There is a lot more to it than this but this will give some idea of its attributes.
