PC Products PC-Clear Epoxy Adhesive Liquid, 16oz in Two Bottles, Clear 70161

Esperaba un poco más de una resina, sin embargo funciono para lo que lo necesitaba.

This stuff works great, but you should practice with a small amount prior to use. The cure time is good for very small applications when used by someone with a bit of experience. If you rarely use epoxy, are working with above room temperature materials or environment, and/or have a large project that you can't do with small batches then pass on this. The work time is far too short for anything outside of those parameters. You'll end up wasting your epoxy, money, and time. This is ideally used in very small volumes (0.25 fl oz. of each part maximum in my opinion) unless you're experienced. I'm not saying it's impossible to do more, but I wouldn't recommend it. 4 minutes of work time might sound like a lot, but it's really not. It's really important consider those factors I mentioned. This is good stuff if you use it correctly.

I tried Kintsugi for the first time. I used this exopy and eye candy mica powder: Kula Gold. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B088QT1BS6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title An art scalpel is useful to remove areas where it smudged. It dries clear. It becomes one with the glitter. If you cut or file it down, the epoxy appears dull. (I suspect that is the same with all epoxy.) I liked the dry time. Pieces suck together when I put them together - I didn't need to hold it very long at all. However, I learned it was better to work in small batches so that it would apply easier- it would get much thicker after a minute or two. It is easy to do a little at a time because the screw cap works like a dream - brilliant. If I were to do it again, I would do it one line at a time and let it dry completely each time. I had some perfect lines and it had set enough to stick together. But when I pushed the next piece on, my other line came apart and I had to redo it. Not the epoxy's fault, I just wasn't familiar with it. After half an hour the whole thing felt really sturdy. I am quite pleased with it and I'm excited to use this exopy on other projects as well.

When this product is mixed thoroughly, it performs well, but if you want to pour it, or work it into cracks, the mixing process is too time consuming for the amount of remaining work time. I needed to mix most of the 16 ounces, so I could pour the product into fairly large voids, so I short-circuited the recommended mixing instructions, in order to have more time for my pour and application. That turned out to be a problem. In some areas of my project, where A & B were not adequately present/mixed, the end result was that it did not harden, and remained somewhat sticky. I used this on a piece of apple wood I began turning on a lathe. There were parts of the wood compromised by rot and powder beetle tunnels, as well as bark space overlapped by other wood growth. For the most part, the pour went well, but the material that was not mixed properly, did not harden, and the result was that it did not "tool" smoothly, and it did not attach well to adjacent surfaces. So, I tried again on cracks that were revealed with more turning. I tried mixing a smaller amount. I tried to be more intent in the mixing process (which took longer). I was only a few minutes into the spreading of the product into holes and cracks, when a chunk appeared. Realizing it was beginning to harden, I worked feverishly to use product that was still liquid, but alas, I was only able to use about 80% of my mix before it got very hot, and hardened to the point it was not usable. I will admit, this is my first time attempting this kind of work with epoxy resin, so I don't know if there is a product out there that would be easier for me to get a "total mix" and still have enough open working time to get it applied. I wanted to include pictures, but am not savvy enough to know how to bring them over. Sorry. Ben

Works well but this stuff dries very quickly. Just make sure you have everything laid out in front of you before starting your project.
