Gorilla Epoxy Clear

If you’re doing any kind of property maintenance or hobby restoration, you know that some things just need a bond that won't give up. I’ve been using this Gorilla 2-Part Epoxy for various repairs around the house and on my collectibles, and it is incredibly handy to have in the toolkit. The syringe design is the real winner here. It dispenses the resin and hardener evenly, so you aren't playing chemist trying to get the ratio right. It sets in about five minutes, which is the "sweet spot"—long enough to adjust your placement, but fast enough that you aren't sitting there holding pieces together all afternoon. Once it cures, it's clear and rock-solid. Whether it's fixing a loose handle or reinforcing a display piece, this stuff just works. Pros: • Ease of Use: Syringe ensures a perfect 1:1 mix every time. • Set Time: 5 minutes is ideal for quick but precise repairs. • Bond Strength: Holds up to 3300 PSI; it’s not going anywhere. • Versatility: Works on metal, wood, ceramics, and most plastics. Cons: • Single Use Cap: If you don't clean the tip perfectly after use, the cap can bond to the syringe, making the second half of the tube a challenge to get to. • Odor: It has that classic "epoxy funk" while curing, so use it in a ventilated area. Verdict: This is a staple for any DIYer. It’s affordable, reliable, and simplifies what used to be a messy process. A solid 5-star "toolbox essential" that I’ll definitely be keeping in stock.

Gorilla 2 Part Epoxy, Clear Epoxy, 0.85 Ounce Syringe Reliable Epoxy That Gets the Job Done I’ve had good luck with Gorilla products over the years, and this one holds up to that. It sets up fast and holds strong once cured. I’ve used it on a few different repairs, and it’s done exactly what I needed every time. The key with this stuff is surface prep. Make sure everything is clean and dry, and if you’re working with a really smooth surface, a quick light sanding helps it bond much better for a long-lasting repair. If you take a minute to prep it right, this epoxy works great.

I first acquired this epoxy to repair a custom, cast, resin, wall sculpture of a Great Blue Heron (in flight) that a visitor had removed and dropped, causing it to shatter into four pieces along its four foot wing span. Initially, I also purchased three foot long, aluminum braces to reinforce the sculpture’s wing span. To my amazement, with only a modest amount of this Gorilla-brand epoxy applied to the joints between the broken pieces — and no structural reinforcements — the entire wing span of the sculpture is fused with such strength and rigidity that I can support the entire weight of the sculpture (80 lbs.) at anywhere along the wing span without it flexing or coming apart. This is really astounding. The entire sculpture may actually be materially stronger than before the repair. For safe measure, I added a smear of the epoxy along the back side of the sculpture along all along the fracture joints. It is now so rigid and strongly bound that I can tap the tips of the wings and the entire sculpture resonates like a metal gong, which means it is, for all practical purposes, fused into a uni-body entity. Some tips: 1. There’s a plastic wand wedged between the push-rods of the dual syringe. You need to break this wand out of there to be able to fully depress the syringe. Personally, I found a wooden popsicle stick to make a much better wand for mixing the epoxy and applying it. 2. You’ll know that the epoxy components (resin and hardener) are properly mixed when you can smell a temporary stink like rotten eggs. Soon after, the epoxy will catalyze and generate heat. From that point, you have 5 minutes to apply the epoxy before it starts to thicken and set. Thus, to maximize your work time, you can start applying the epoxy as soon as your smell the pungent stink. The stink goes away as soon as the epoxy starts to set. Full strength and cure, which is when no tackiness can be felt in the epoxy, occurs at around 24 hours, 3. The epoxy has a thick consistency, like honey. It fills small gaps extremely well and will self-level to an extent, removing brush strokes and smoothing over depressions. It is clear with a very slight amber tint. It goes on clear and cures to a clear, tough-as-nails finish. 4. I recommend wearing nitrile gloves as you work with this epoxy, as if it gets on your skin, you’ll need acetone to remove it. Acetone is very effective at breaking down this epoxy before it cures. However, once it cures, the acetone will not soften or dissolve it. 5. If you want to shape or flatten the epoxy — on the back of a sculpture for example — after it sets, you can lay the side of the item with the epoxy against a polyethylene sheet on a level floor or table top. The epoxy sticks like crazy to resin, metals, wood, stone, glass, leather but will not adhere to polyethylene plastic. After the epoxy cures, you can pull away the polyethylene sheet and the epoxy will be hard and smooth like glass. It will bond strongly to 3D printed thermoplastics like PLA. 6. As long as you keep the resin and hardener separate, these components will last a surprisingly long time. Working over several days to join each fractured piece of the sculpture, I left the nozzles of the double syringe uncovered and the epoxy components easily remained viable for several days. For longer term keeping on any open syringe, just stretch a section of duct tape over the nozzles. 7. Where a really clean joint is needed, applying the epoxy to just one side and pressing the parts together will give surprisingly strong adhesion. However, for maximum strength, I recommend applying epoxy to both sides of a joint and letting a “bead” ooze out along the joint. On the cosmetic side of your project, the bead can be smoothed out before the epoxy cures. I recommend leaving the raised bead on the non-cosmetic back side of any such workpiece, and after it cures, coming back with more epoxy to smear over the bead to create a wider seam patch for maximum joint strength. The fresh epoxy adheres well to any old cured epoxy. The stuff is for certain a resin, and will practically weld any resin components into a rigid uni-body. This epoxy lives up to its brand name of being gorilla strong.

As is often the case, my experience with the Gorilla 2-Part Epoxy, Clear Epoxy, 0.85 Ounce Syringe was largely in line with expectations. The product description accurately portrays what you get: a two-part epoxy designed for rapid, strong bonding. For its intended purpose, it certainly delivers. The "5 Minute Set" claim is pretty accurate, meaning you don't have a lot of time to fiddle around once you've mixed the two components. This is great if you need a quick fix, but it also means precision is key from the get-go. The bond itself? Incredibly strong, as advertised. I've used it for a few minor repairs around the house, and each time the repaired item feels as solid as new. It held up perfectly to the tasks I threw at it, providing the kind of durable bond you'd expect from a brand like Gorilla. The clear aspect is also a definite plus, as it doesn't leave unsightly colored marks on the repair. However, where the product falls a little short of being a truly stellar five-star item for me is in its usability, specifically the "messy to use" aspect. While the syringe packaging is generally convenient for dispensing two parts, I found that getting a perfectly controlled and clean application was a bit of a challenge. There's a slight tendency for a tiny bit of overflow or for the mixed epoxy to ooze a little more than I'd ideally like, even with careful pressure. This isn't a dealbreaker by any means, but it does mean you need to have some paper towels or a cleaning cloth handy and be prepared for a bit of cleanup afterwards. It’s not quite as neat and precise as something like a glue pen, for example. Ultimately, this Gorilla epoxy is a solid, reliable product that does exactly what it says it will: create an incredibly strong bond quickly. It earns a solid four stars from me because it perfectly meets its functional description and delivers on its promise of strength. It’s a great go-to for repairs where durability is paramount. However, the minor messiness associated with its application keeps it from reaching that elusive five-star status of being truly exceptional or exceeding expectations in every regard. It's a good tool, but not a perfect one.

I used this to permanently seal the thread on a gold urn pendant carrying the ashes of a loved one. Not exactly the use case on the box, but when you need something to hold and hold forever, you don't reach for whatever's in the junk drawer. I needed something that mixed cleanly, applied with control, and would bond without any doubt. The syringe design made it easy to dispense just the right amount. I used a toothpick to apply it precisely where I needed it, which gave me a lot more control than trying to squeeze it directly onto something that small and that important. I let it cure for a full 24 hours before touching it. Then I put it on and haven't taken it off since. I shower with it daily. It has not moved, shifted, or given me any reason to worry. I haven't tried to open the pendant to check the seal. I'm just trusting it. And so far it has given me no reason not to. For anyone sealing an urn pendant or memorial jewelry, the details that matter are: use a toothpick for precision, give it the full 24 hours, and don't rush it. This is not the project where you test it after an hour. Five stars. It did its job on something that couldn't afford to fail.

its two parts you gotta mix it together but first make sure the area to be glued is clean and dry has no forign objects dust, grit oil. if its a really smooth surface consider scuffing it . makesure your peices fit mix only as much glue as needed. but theres always some left so find another object that needs glue and have it ready because this glue sets up in less than five minutes. wipe away any drips or runs immediately. as soon as your parts are positioned correctly leave them be theres time to reposition if needed but do so quickly, one moment its liquid the next it is too firm to be moved. so only spend 30 seconds mixing it. its a good strong glue for permanent fixes. trim any extra as soon as possible as it hardens quickly. dollarstore versions leak and are a mess before you can even use it. this is clean, no leaks, its not expired, strong, clear glue. not for things that get hot or go under water. practice glueing something similar first. good glue job is in the execution and prep more than the glue. use the right kind of glue for the job

I reach for this Gorilla 2 Part Epoxy anytime I want something to never move again. Recently used it on a threaded insert that’s going to be holding some real weight, and this stuff basically turned it into a permanent feature of reality. The 5 minute set time is nice — there’s just enough working time to get things aligned, but not so long that you’re babysitting the project all night. I really like the syringe format because it keeps the ratio dead simple and you don’t waste half the tube guessing. It cures clear enough that it doesn’t look ugly if a tiny bit squeezes out around the edges, and once it’s cured, it sands and drills decently well if you need to clean something up after. Strength-wise it’s on a totally different level than normal super glue, especially for inserts, hardware, or anything that might see stress or vibration. Couple downsides: it’s a bit messy if you’re not careful, and once you crack open a syringe for a small job it kind of feels like you’re wasting some product unless you’ve got a few things lined up to glue. The smell isn’t horrible but it’s still epoxy, so ventilation is smart. It’s also not the cheapest adhesive out there, but for critical joints where failure would be a nightmare, it’s definately worth the cost.

I bought this to use in an upside down application and it wasn't good for that. After mixing, it's just too thin to apply to the underside of something. It doesn't work any better if you let it set up longer because then it's leaving little epoxy fragments all over the place and the adhesion quality is poor. I'm sure it works fine if you use it in the normal orientation, but for my purpose it wasn't good.

using this epoxy to assemle golf clubs. It's great to have a clear finish product that doesn't smell so much and it is still strong enough. The smell is like something is burning, as opposed to a deep chemical smell. Easy to mix with the 50-50 design, mix it up and will dry quickly.Long setting for final use

Buena calidad y agarre. Secado rápido. Lo mejor es que no huele como otras marcas
