FAQs
How long does it take for Gorilla Epoxy Syringe to set?
The fast-setting formula begins to set in approximately 5 minutes at room temperature. Handling time is typically within 30 minutes, with a full cure achieved in 24 hours.
Can this epoxy be used on Styrofoam or foam board?
No, this epoxy is not recommended for use on Styrofoam or other foam materials as it can dissolve them.
Is Gorilla Epoxy Syringe waterproof?
Once fully cured, the bond provides good water resistance and is suitable for many applications that may come into contact with moisture, but it is not intended for continuous submersion.
How should I store the unused syringes?
Store the unused syringes in their original packaging at room temperature, away from extreme heat or cold. Ensure the plungers are pushed back in and the tip is clean and capped tightly.
Can I sand or paint the cured epoxy?
Yes, once fully cured, the epoxy can be sanded and painted to match its surroundings or for a finished look.
What is the shelf life of the epoxy?
When stored properly at room temperature, the unopened epoxy syringes typically have a shelf life of 2 years from the manufacturing date.
Can this epoxy bond fabric?
While it may bond some synthetic fabrics, it is not ideal for most fabric applications as it creates a rigid bond and may stiffen the material. It is best suited for hard materials.
Troubleshooting
Epoxy not hardening or setting slowly
Ensure equal amounts of resin and hardener were dispensed and mixed thoroughly. Check that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range for curing (typically 70-75°F or 21-24°C).
Bond is weak or failing
Verify that surfaces were properly prepared (clean, dry, and free of contaminants). Ensure sufficient epoxy was applied and the clamped parts did not shift during the initial setting period.
Difficulty dispensing epoxy
Ensure the syringe plungers move freely. If the product has been stored for a long time, internal components might have solidified slightly; gentle warming might help, but avoid excessive heat.
Yellowing of cured epoxy
While designed to dry clear, extreme UV exposure over time can cause slight discoloration. For applications in direct, prolonged sunlight, consider a UV-resistant top coat if aesthetics are critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust.
- Remove the cap from the dual syringe. Detach the clip holding the plungers.
- Place the mixing nozzle (if provided) onto the syringe tip, ensuring a secure fit.
- Press the plungers evenly to dispense equal amounts of resin and hardener onto a clean disposable surface.
- Mix thoroughly with a stirring stick for approximately 30-60 seconds until a uniform color is achieved.
- Apply the mixed epoxy to one surface and join the parts immediately.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use on metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, glass, fiberglass, and concrete. Not recommended for polyethylene, Teflon, or flexible plastics. Best suited for indoor applications.
Care:
Store the unused syringes in their original packaging at room temperature. Keep the syringe tip clean and re-cap tightly. Once mixed, epoxy has a limited working time and should be used promptly.
