FAQs
How long does it take to set?
The Gorilla Epoxy Syringe is fast-setting. It typically sets in minutes, allowing for quick hold. Full cure typically occurs within 24 hours.
What is the working time after mixing?
The working time is approximately 5 minutes after the two parts have been mixed. It's important to have your pieces ready for assembly.
Can this be used on plastics?
Yes, it adheres well to most plastics including acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC, and ABS. It is not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, or Teflon.
Is the bond waterproof?
The cured epoxy provides a water-resistant bond, suitable for many applications exposed to moisture. However, prolonged submersion may affect its long-term integrity.
How should I store the unused epoxy?
Store the syringes in a cool, dry place. Ensure the caps are tightly sealed on the nozzles to prevent the epoxy from curing inside the syringes.
Can I sand or paint the cured epoxy?
Yes, once fully cured, the epoxy can be sanded, drilled, and painted to match your project needs.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Unopened and properly stored, the product typically has a shelf life of 2 years. Once mixed, it cannot be stored.
Troubleshooting
Epoxy not hardening or setting properly
Ensure both components were dispensed and mixed thoroughly. Inaccurate mixing ratios or insufficient mixing time can prevent proper curing. Check storage conditions; extreme cold can affect performance.
Weak or brittle bond
Verify that the surfaces were clean and properly prepared before application. Ensure the correct components were mixed in equal amounts and that the bond had sufficient time to cure under appropriate conditions.
Syringe nozzle clogged
Make sure the caps are replaced immediately after use. If hardened epoxy is present, try to clear the tip with a pin or replace the nozzle if possible. Use a fresh nozzle for each new application if necessary.
Adhesive appears cloudy or discolored after drying
This can sometimes occur due to improper mixing or application in humid conditions. Ensure thorough mixing and apply in a well-ventilated area with moderate humidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or oil. Lightly roughening smooth surfaces can improve adhesion.
- Attach the mixing nozzle to the syringes and lock it into place.
- Dispense a small amount of epoxy onto a disposable surface. The two parts are dispensed simultaneously from the dual syringes.
- Mix the two components thoroughly with a mixing stick until a uniform color is achieved.
- Apply the mixed epoxy to one surface and join the parts immediately.
- Hold the pieces together firmly for several minutes until the bond begins to set.
Compatibility:
The epoxy is suitable for most common repair materials including metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, glass, fiberglass, and concrete. It is not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, or Teflon plastics. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care:
- Store syringes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ensure caps are securely replaced on the syringes after each use to prevent curing.
- Clean up any uncured epoxy immediately with a damp cloth or isopropyl alcohol. Cured epoxy can be carefully scraped or sanded away.
