FAQs
How long does Gorilla Epoxy Syringe take to cure?
The initial set time is typically 5 minutes, and it reaches a handling strength shortly after. Full cure for maximum strength usually takes 24 hours.
Can I use this epoxy on all types of plastic?
It bonds to many plastics like PVC, acrylic, and ABS. However, it is not suitable for polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). Always test on a small, hidden area first.
How do I clean up uncured epoxy?
Wipe away uncured epoxy immediately with a dry cloth. For tougher residue, use rubbing alcohol or acetone, but be cautious as these can damage certain surfaces. Cured epoxy is very difficult to remove.
What is the shelf life of the epoxy syringe?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap securely sealed, the epoxy can last for 1-2 years.
Do I need to mix the two parts before applying?
Yes, it is crucial to dispense equal parts of the resin and hardener and mix them thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved for the epoxy to cure properly and achieve its maximum strength.
Can I use this for structural repairs?
While it provides professional-strength bonding, it's best suited for repairs and projects where the bond is not the sole load-bearing component of a critical structure. Always assess the repair needs carefully.
Troubleshooting
Epoxy not curing or curing slowly
Ensure accurate mixing ratio by dispensing equal amounts of resin and hardener. Verify that the components were mixed thoroughly until a uniform color was achieved. Check storage conditions; extreme temperatures can affect curing.
Weak or brittle bond
Surfaces may not have been properly prepared (e.g., not clean, dry, or roughened). Ensure sufficient clamping time during the curing process. Re-apply, ensuring proper surface prep and adequate clamping.
Syringe plunger is stuck
Carefully try to wiggle the plunger. If the nozzle is blocked, attempt to clear it with a small pin. Ensure the cap is properly sealed when storing to prevent this.
Difficulty dispensing
Ensure the mixing nozzle is securely attached. If it's clogged, replace with a new one if available or attempt to clear it. Apply steady, even pressure to the plunger.
Pros and Cons

- Bulk pack ensures you have enough for multiple uses.
Cons
- May be too much product for infrequent users.
- Requires careful mixing for optimal results.
- Once mixed, the epoxy has a limited working time.
- Not suitable for all plastics; testing on a small area is recommended.
- Requires a clean, dry surface for best adhesion.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
- Remove the cap from the syringe and attach the mixing nozzle.
- Slowly and evenly depress the plunger to dispense an equal amount of resin and hardener onto a disposable surface.
- Mix the two parts thoroughly with a mixing stick until a uniform color is achieved.
- Apply the mixed epoxy evenly to one or both surfaces.
- Press the surfaces together firmly and hold or clamp in place until the initial bond has set.
Compatibility:
This epoxy is suitable for bonding metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, glass, fiberglass, and more. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with plastics, to ensure compatibility and desired results. It is not recommended for use on polyethylene, polypropylene, or Teflon.
Care:
Store the syringe in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the cap securely on the syringe tip when not in use to prevent the epoxy from curing prematurely. Clean up any excess uncured epoxy immediately with a dry cloth or appropriate solvent as recommended by adhesive guidelines. Cured epoxy can be difficult to remove.
