Product Information
Full details
The Gorilla Epoxy Syringe is designed for DIY enthusiasts, hobbyists, and homeowners who need a heavy-duty, reliable bonding solution for a variety of surfaces. Its primary benefit is the dual-chamber syringe design that ensures a perfect 1:1 mix ratio of resin and hardener, providing a strong, impact-resistant bond on materials like metal, wood, plastic, and glass. However, users should note that the adhesive is fast-setting, which limits the available working time for complex projects requiring precise alignment or long adjustments.

FAQs
How long does it take for the bond to set?
The epoxy is fast-setting, but it is recommended to keep the parts clamped or held in place for at least 30 minutes to reach handling strength.
Can I use this for outdoor projects?
It is designed for interior use; prolonged exposure to outdoor elements and direct sunlight may affect the integrity and appearance of the bond.
Is it food safe once cured?
No, this adhesive is not rated for food contact and should not be used on items intended to hold or store food.
How do I remove excess epoxy?
While wet, it can be wiped off with isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Once cured, it is very difficult to remove and usually requires sanding or scraping.
Can I paint over the cured epoxy?
Yes, once fully cured, the surface can be sanded and painted to match your project.
Troubleshooting
The epoxy is not curing.
Ensure the resin and hardener were mixed thoroughly in a 1:1 ratio. If not mixed well, the chemical reaction will not trigger.
The syringe is clogged at the nozzle.
Use a small pin to clear the hardened material from the tips. Always wipe the tips clean before recapping.
Bond failed on plastic surface.
Check the type of plastic. This epoxy does not bond well to low-surface-energy plastics like polypropylene or polyethylene.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Precise 1:1 mixing ratio prevents application errors
- Excellent bonding strength on multiple material types
- Dries clear for an unobtrusive aesthetic finish
- Convenient syringe design allows for clean, controlled application
Cons
- Fast cure time allows for limited repositioning
- Not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure in direct UV

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure both bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and slightly roughed with sandpaper for better grip.
- Compatibility: Works best on metal, wood, plastic (excluding polypropylene and polyethylene), ceramic, glass, and tile.
- Storage: Store upright in a cool, dry place. Replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the epoxy from hardening inside the nozzle.
- Safety: Always use in a well-ventilated area and avoid direct skin contact. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
