Product Information
Full details
The Araldite Rapid Epoxy Adhesive Syringe 24ml is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a high-strength, fast-setting bonding solution for household repairs and workshop projects. Its key benefit is the dual-syringe system that ensures a perfect 1:1 mix ratio every time, resulting in a reliable bond across diverse materials like wood, metal, and glass. The primary caveat is that the fast-setting time limits the amount of time available for repositioning parts once the surfaces are joined.

FAQs
How long does it take for Araldite Rapid to fully cure?
The adhesive sets in just a few minutes, but it reaches its full functional strength after several hours.
Can this be used on plastics?
It works on many plastics, but it is not effective on polyethylene, polypropylene, or Teflon.
Is the bond waterproof?
Yes, once fully cured, the adhesive is water-resistant and suitable for many outdoor applications.
Can I paint over the cured epoxy?
Yes, once the adhesive has fully hardened, it can be sanded and painted to match the surrounding surface.
Is it safe to use on items that touch food?
No, this adhesive is not food-safe and should not be used on surfaces that come into contact with edible items.
Troubleshooting
The adhesive remains tacky and does not harden.
Ensure the resin and hardener were mixed thoroughly in a 1:1 ratio. If parts are not mixed completely, the chemical reaction will not trigger.
The syringe nozzle is blocked with hardened glue.
Carefully clear the blockage using a thin wire or needle. Always wipe the nozzle clean with an alcohol-based solvent before capping.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Precise 1:1 mixing ratio prevents bonding failures
- Extremely fast cure time for rapid repairs
- Strong adhesion across many different material types
- Easy-to-use syringe design minimizes mess and waste
Cons
- Limited working time due to fast-setting chemistry
- Amber-translucent finish may be visible on clear or light-colored joints

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure both surfaces are free of grease, dust, or loose particles by lightly sanding and cleaning them with a degreasing agent. To dispense, break the seal on the syringe, push the plunger to dispense equal amounts of resin and hardener onto a clean, disposable surface, and mix thoroughly until the color is uniform.
Compatibility Note: While it bonds most materials, it is not recommended for polyethene, polypropylene, or Teflon.
Care Instructions: After use, wipe the nozzle clean and replace the cap immediately to prevent the adhesive from hardening inside the syringe tip. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain shelf life.
