## Overview

West System’s 865-4 G/5 Five Minute Epoxy Adhesive delivers a quick 3-5 minute working time with a strong, waterproof bond across a wide range of materials. Its easy one-to-one mix and ideal viscosity make it perfect for fast household repairs, crafts, and light-duty projects that require reliable adhesion without clamping. Ready for light use in just 15 minutes and fully cured in 4 hours, this 8 fl oz kit is a must-have for professionals and DIYers who value speed and versatility.

## Description

As with any epoxy, for best adhesion roughen any smooth surfaces to provide texture for the adhesive to key into. G/5 does not require clamping pressure as long as contact between parts is maintained during cure. If using clamps, it is best to use minimal clamp pressure to avoid excessive squeeze out resulting in a glue starved joint. The joint will be ready for light service after 15 minutes and cured to near full strength after four hours at room temperature. It will continue to gain strength and toughness with additional cure time. Cured G/5 can tolerate getting wet but it is not intended for items that are continuously damp or wet. It will work well on exterior applications as long as long-term wet/damp conditions are avoided.

Review: Easy to use and great to have on-hand. - Don't know why I didn't get this sooner. I've fixed many items already; easy peasy.
Review: WEST is the best! - 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.

## Features

- EASY TO USE, epoxy resin/hardener system for quick repairs, tooling and general bonding. May be used in spot applications to hold parts in position while standard epoxy bonds cure. One-to-one mix, no pumps required.
- FAST CURING 2-PART EPOXY allows 3-5 minutes of working time. It adheres to a number of surfaces including wood, ceramic, metal, leather, plaster, stone, fiberglass, glass, cork, some plastics, and paper. G/5 is an excellent choice for quick repairs around the house, high-end crafts and much more.
- IDEAL VISCOSITY allows it to penetrate porous surfaces yet it's viscous enough to bridge gaps when gluing broken objects.
- EASILY MODIFIED with WEST SYSTEM Fillers, Additives, and Pigments to suit the job at hand. Adding G/5 to other WEST SYSTEM epoxies can speed their cure time. Since this very quick-cure epoxy is not as strong or waterproof as our 105 Resin-based epoxies or G/flex epoxies, G/5 will reduce the cured physical properties of other epoxies when blended with them.
- BEST FOR PROJECTS that will remain dry and are not subject to high loads. Not recommended for long-term bonds subject to high loads or moisture. Comes with one 4 fl oz of Resin, and one 4 fl oz of Hardener.
