Epoxy F14-1585TL
This glue used to be intimidating because it required 2 different tubes that had to be mixed precisely creating a chemical reaction that provided the epoxy’s strength. Today’s Epoxy is easier to work with. The tube dispenses the correct amount every time. Epoxy is a high strength glue that comes in a 5-minute epoxy or a 2-ton epoxy which sets in about 30 minutes. When using Epoxy it is important to be sure there are no bubbles in the tubes to ensure uniform flow. Be ready to position pieces being epoxied before the epoxy dries. Color may be added to Epoxy without affecting its strength. For inlay work, color may be added with wood, bone dust, or even kitchen spices.
