Araldite Repair Putty Extremely Hard Setting Filler Solution with High Temperature Resistance For Durable Bonding & Repairs 50g, Colour May Vary

I had some stripped out threads on a door frame. I drilled the holes out a little and then filled them with the mixed putty, put the screws in place (after spraying them with silicone as a release agent). Checked about 10 minutes later and it had set rock hard (probably set faster than this). Absolutely solid repair, I'm pretty sure the new threads are stronger than the original wood. Quick and easy. Just as an indication of how strong this stuff is when it sets, I had an extra piece that I hadn't used. Approximately 5mm diameter, 10mm long and I barely managed to break it in half. And that was only because it had a break line in it from where I had folded it during mixing. If you were really careful to make sure there were no fracture points it would be really difficult to break with your bare hands.

This is so much better than JB putty, that was too soft, too messy and didn't adhere well. This one is a much better constancy. I used it to repair a leaky copper pipe. It adheres well and is less messy and easy to use. I found it much easier to mix without using gloves. It does leave a little bit of mess on your fingers but nothing that doesn't wash of fairly easily. Perhaps those who left negative reviews, hadn't mixed it thoroughly before use. It does set fairly quickly, it's labelled as being workable for 15 mins. I'm not how long it's easily workable for though. It sets hard in one hour - a great product!

This metal putty is easy to mix and use and gives good results

Easy to use. I used a pea-sized piece of the compound, worked it into a soft putty, then applied to my broken glasses arm. I left it to set for several hours to set. It set solid and fixed my glasses. Ok, so the arm won't fold down now but it's not a problem, as I use these glasses for watching TV. Brilliant fix, I would definitely recommend for a small job such as mine. I couldn't comment on a more heavy duty repair.

I had a corner shelf that was knocked off the wall tearing out the mounting plugs and leaving two large holes. I wanted to fill the holes with something that could be drilled. So I could refit the little shelf. Normal fillers for plaster are not strong enough for drilling. Because plaster, and house brick behind it, are crumbly it meant the epoxy would be adhering to a loose, dusty, crumbly surface and, although it would set hard, it would be adhering to nothing reliable. So I mixed 1 part PVA glue with 4 parts of water and used a small paint brush to liberally paint inside the holes. Then left it 24 hours for the PVA to sink in and set. I could then stick my finger in the hole and it was not covered in loose plaster dust when I pulled it out. Cut off enough epoxy to fill one hole at a time and, wearing strong disposable gloves, knead it just enough so it becomes a uniform colour. Don't spend a lot of time kneading it, work quick, pack it in the hole the instant the colour looks fairly uniform. Using a wooden rod I packed it in tightly, until it came to about 2mm below the surface of the wall. Once it had set (I left it a couple of days) I was able to skim over the area with a lightweight filler and repaint the wall. Since then I have refitted the shelf by pilot-drilling into the hardened epoxy and using self-tapping screws. Conclusion: Fantastic stuff providing... 1. The surface it is adhering to is solid and not dusty. 2. You must have disposable gloves but not flimsy ones! It is very sticky as you knead it. 3. You work quick. Stop kneading as soon as the colour is reasonably uniform. The epoxy hardening action will spread through the mix anyway.

This sets fast so use it quickly and only cut off what you need. I have used this putty for the past year and cannot fault it. It sets like a rock, you can even make coat hooks out of it it is that strong. Filling holes, fixing brackets, burst pipes, you name it, amazing. Remember though, this is not a glue but a putty and sets like a rock. It truly is amazing stuff and worth every penny.

I used some of this to fix/reinforce a small crack in a fibreglass bath tub, applying it to the outside of the tub after carefully cleaning the (rough) surface with isoproyl alcohol. It stuck well, and set rock hard. I blended it down to very thin around the edges so that any flexing also flexes the hardened putty, rather than risking causing it to peel. For aesthetic reasons I coated along the crack on the inside of the tub with a thin, clear UV setting resin, to provide a smooth finish. I only used about a quarter of the supplied stick for the above, the rest remains for other uses. Cutting it off to the desired length even with an Xacto blade left the hardener and resin parts smeared slightly together. Kneading it to mix it was slightly frustrating in latex gloves, because it sticks quite well to the gloves. On the other hand, it sticks pretty well to the things that you do want it to stick to, too. There are cheaper varieties of this kind of product, including some that incorporate metal powders and so on, and some in much lighter colours, but this stuff basically works as advertised, is comparable in price to other recognized brands, and I have no reason to doubt its cured strength or durability. If you're not expecting it to work actual miracles, and you're OK with the colour, then I don't think it will disappoint. Verdict: Did what I wanted. As epoxy putty goes, this seems pretty sound.

Super Preisleistung

What I received is not clear or transparent, it's opaque gray/black. Maybe mfg has a different definition for the word clear. Sent back via amazon.

Prima di acquistarla ho letto qualche recensione scritta per la versione bio-componente, che non si lasciava lavorare. Io alla fine ho optato per quella già pronta. E devo dire che è proprio una bomba! Incolla veramente di tutto. Finora l'ho usata per incollare il pezzo di una statua in gesso, un pezzo di ferro senza battente su un orologio di rame, gli occhiali di mio figlio, il tira-graffi dei gatti, ed altre cose che ora mi sfuggono... ma soprattutto è stata acquistata come mastice per riparare un buco nel carter della moto. Risultato: l'olio non esce più! La colla, una volta secca, si può carteggiare e riverniciare, se usata per parti di metallo. Mai visto nulla di simile, davvero!

Ottimo prodotto , ci ho aggiustato il dyson di mia moglie e ho risparmiato parecchi sodi visto che il ricambio non è più in commercio .

Ottima per riempire alcuni fori e riparare in rapidità della filettatura su alluminio che era stata totalmente rimossa da un utilizzo improprio con viteria non compatibile. Asciuga molto velocemente e inizia dopo circa un minuto a solidificarsi. A cinque esibisce già una buona solidità superficiale e non sembra perdere massa o stringersi. Maleodorante per il tempo di asciugatura va maneggiata con guanti e bi-componenti mischiati ed amalgamati molto bene in meno di 30 secondi. La tonalità finale risulta un nero cenere abbastanza chiaro. Consiglio di utilizzarne un pezzetto per prova prima di eseguire una riparazione per valutarne le tempistiche che potrebbero cambiare a seconda della data di produzione o il luogo in cui è stoccata precedentemente. Non ho ancora provato ad eliminare l'eccesso carteggiando ma il risultato comunque va ottenuto possibilmente con il primo utilizzo in piccole dimensioni. Viste le proprietà del prodotto potrebbe essere possibile stratificare adeguatamente su altre misure.
