FAQs
How long does it take to set?
The epoxy stick typically sets in 5-15 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity. Full cure, allowing for sanding and painting, usually occurs within 1 hour.
Can I use this on plumbing pipes?
Yes, it is suitable for temporary or permanent repairs on many types of plumbing pipes (metal, PVC, etc.) to fix leaks, provided the surface is clean and dry. It is waterproof once cured.
What is the shelf life of the epoxy stick?
When stored properly in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, the epoxy stick typically has a shelf life of 1-2 years.
How much material do I need to cut?
Cut only the amount you can use within the working time (typically 3-5 minutes after mixing). Knead until a uniform color is achieved before applying.
Can I sand and paint the cured epoxy?
Yes, once fully cured (usually within 1 hour), the epoxy can be sanded smooth and painted to match the surrounding surface.
Is it safe to use on food containers?
This product is not certified for food contact. It is not recommended for use on surfaces that will come into direct contact with food.
What is the color of the cured epoxy?
The cured epoxy is grey, matching the final color after kneading.
Troubleshooting
Epoxy not hardening
Ensure you cut and kneaded equal parts of the resin and hardener until a uniform color was achieved. Check that the product has not expired.
Epoxy is too hard to knead
Ensure the product has been stored correctly. Warm slightly in your hands, but work quickly as it will start to set faster when warm.
Surface adhesion is poor
Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or dust. Lightly sanding smooth surfaces can improve adhesion.
Difficulty applying evenly
Work quickly once mixed. Apply firmly to the surface. For filling applications, use a putty knife or scraper to smooth the surface before it sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, cut off the required amount of epoxy stick. Ensure you cut through both the resin and hardener components. Knead the two parts together with your fingers until a uniform grey color is achieved. This indicates the epoxy is activated and ready for application.
Compatibility: This epoxy is designed for use on a wide range of materials including metal, wood, plastic, ceramics, masonry, concrete, glass, and fiberglass. It is not recommended for use on flexible plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene, or for applications involving continuous submersion in water (though it is waterproof for typical exposure).
Care: Store unused epoxy stick in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. Ensure the ends are sealed to prevent premature hardening. Clean up any uncured excess epoxy with a damp cloth or mineral spirits before it sets. Once cured, it can be cleaned with standard household cleaners.
