Hysol Question
 

It seems like some of you guys use Hysol Epoxy for everything except brushing your teeth ! It also seems as if you think it is a great epoxy that's superior to any other. Nothing but great comments about it in the build threads. I would like to try this product, but looking it up on the computer shows several "part numbers" for a variety of the Hysol Epoxy that is available. Can anyone advise me which is the one that is so popular with modelers ? Any convenient place to order from ? Looking forward to using it. Thanks much. 'buff

Hysol 9462 available from either of my sources, McMaster Carr or DreamWorks. BVM has their own variety but still a Hysol product. Mostly used by jet builders because we deal with a lot of composites. Don't waste it on balsa since glues like water based Elmers and Titebond will suffice.

John, thanks for the advice about what the Hysol is used for. I'm a balsa guy, so I guess I don't really need it. Thanks again, 'buff

Square Nozzle is correct, although occasionally you need epoxy on a balsa build. I use it sparingly, sometimes even not using the premix nozzle.

I listed the McMaster item numbers for the dispensing gun, tip, and the Hysol E-20HP (20 min. working time) here:

I use Hysol 9462 (item 6430A33) if I need more working time...
