G/5 Five-Minute Adhesive | 8 oz Epoxy Resin and Hardener | Two-Part Marine Epoxy for Fiberglass, Wood, and Metal Bonding | Made in the USA

I have been using this for repair work on pool cues for years. Most of the West System products that I have used are of good quality, and this epoxy is no different. I use small amounts at a time. I don't weigh the 2 parts before mixing or do anything special to assure the parts are distributed to exact specifications, and it still works as it should. All I do is use a small paper plate to mix it on. I squeeze small spiral of the resin in a circular pattern onto the plate, then squeeze the same size pattern of the hardener over that and mix very well with craft tongue depressor that I purchase by the box full. Pros- They are often out of stock at My local store, and It's much more convenient to order off of Amazon. If I keep the caps on the bottles, This epoxy stays good for a long time. Being a 5 minute epoxy, It also sets up much faster then other types of epoxies, so it has a much faster working time when using It. It also doesn't seem to give up much of anything as far as durability as some other 5min brands may. Cons- Non to speak of

Great stuff works awesome for a lot of things we'll buy again

WEST SYSTEM is my go to and the only epoxy I'll use for adhesive type projects (i.e. not river tables). I always keep some of this, their GFlex line, and their 105 series on hand. I've tried many different brands and there's just no beating the WEST products. I used the Loctite brand until this came out, and I definitely feel like this is an upgrade. In my opinion, the G/5 is a better consistency and a little easier to work. I've also found that the hardener does not thicken up in the bottle after sitting on the shelf for a long time (a year or more) like the other brand. The Bob Smith stuff is really not good compared to this and you'll be doing yourself a favor by getting some of this instead. The only caveat with this is it sets up up a little quicker than other 5 minute epoxies, which can be good or bad, so make sure to only mix up small batches to control the cure rate and heat.

Don't know why I didn't get this sooner. I've fixed many items already; easy peasy.

Bonds great. I wish the odor didn’t make me noxious. I bought a mask to use with it. I hope it helps because otherwise it’s great. Update: I use a fan to blow the odor of the uncured hardener away. Best glue I’ve used!

Good luck but work quickly

it is really not much more than 5min, so do not mix all up at once. when u feel it getting warm it is over in 1min.

Every one who has hobbies or a home should have this. Sets hard and fast and can be mixed with the West System fillers for different consistency. Price is high but more cost effective than buying the little five minute tubes. And these bottles don’t leak since they stand upright. The small tubes always leaked around the stopper and then it’s on your fingers.
