Product Information
Full details
This Gorilla Strong Adhesive and Epoxy set is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, homeowners, and crafters needing reliable bonding solutions for various materials. Its key benefit is offering two distinct, powerful adhesives – a fast-acting strong adhesive for precision fixes and a durable epoxy for gap-filling repairs – providing a comprehensive solution. A potential caveat is that precise application and understanding the setting times for each adhesive are crucial for optimal results.

FAQs
What is the difference between the strong adhesive and the epoxy?
The strong adhesive (cyanoacrylate) is a fast-setting glue for quick, precise repairs on smaller areas. The epoxy is a two-part system that requires mixing, offers a longer working time, and provides stronger, gap-filling bonds for heavier-duty applications.
Can I use this on rubber?
The strong adhesive may work on some types of rubber, but test in an inconspicuous area first. The epoxy is generally more suitable for bonding rubber to other materials.
How long does the epoxy take to cure?
The epoxy typically sets in minutes and cures fully over several hours, providing a durable bond. Refer to the product packaging for specific cure times.
Can I sand or paint over the cured adhesive?
Once fully cured, the adhesive can often be sanded. Painting over the adhesive is usually possible, but results may vary depending on the paint type and surface preparation.
What surfaces should I avoid using these adhesives on?
Avoid using the strong adhesive on Styrofoam or polyethylene. Always test epoxy on plastics and painted surfaces before full application.
How should I store the adhesives when not in use?
Store both the strong adhesive and the epoxy in a cool, dry place with caps tightly sealed to prevent them from drying out or curing prematurely.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Unopened, the adhesives typically have a shelf life of 1-2 years when stored properly. Once opened, it's best to use them within 6 months to a year for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Strong adhesive not bonding quickly
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For some plastics, a primer might be needed. Ensure the adhesive is not expired.
Epoxy not hardening
Verify that the resin and hardener were mixed in the correct 1:1 ratio and were thoroughly combined. Ensure the mixing surface and tools are clean.
Bond appears weak
Check that the correct adhesive was used for the surface and application. Ensure surfaces were properly prepared and the adhesive was applied evenly. Allow full cure time for epoxy.
Dispensing issues with the strong adhesive nozzle
If the nozzle becomes clogged, carefully clear it with a fine pin or needle once the adhesive has fully cured on the tip. Store with the cap on tightly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers two distinct adhesive types for versatile repair needs.
- Fast-setting strong adhesive is excellent for quick fixes.
- Epoxy provides durable, gap-filling strength for robust repairs.
- Works on multiple common materials like wood, metal, plastic, and ceramics.
- Adhesions are impact-resistant, enhancing durability.
Cons
- Requires careful handling and application due to fast setting times of the strong adhesive.
- Epoxy mixing and application requires a bit more time and attention than the strong adhesive.
- May not be suitable for extremely flexible materials.
- Both adhesives are clear, which might be a visual concern on certain dark materials if not applied cleanly.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The 15g strong adhesive is ready to use directly from the applicator. For the 25ml epoxy, ensure both parts (resin and hardener) are thoroughly mixed in equal proportions on a clean, disposable surface according to the product instructions. Apply the mixed epoxy immediately.
Compatibility: This set is compatible with wood, metal, plastic, and ceramics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with plastics, to ensure compatibility and avoid damage.
Care: Store both adhesives in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure caps are tightly sealed after each use. Clean up any excess uncured adhesive immediately with a dry cloth. Cured adhesive may be difficult to remove.
