Putty - Epoxy - The Home Depot

Question 1

Which usage locations are suitable for epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy adhesives are suitable for a wide range of usage locations. We stock epoxies for every usage location you may need, including general, countertop, and marine environments. However, avoid locations with flexible joints or moving parts where rigid epoxy can crack, and locations with constant chemical exposure where strong acids, bases, or solvents can break down epoxy.

Question 2

Can epoxy be removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, epoxy can be removed, but it can be difficult because it forms a very strong bond. The removal method depends on the surface and the extent of the epoxy. The best way to remove epoxy is with an angle grinder or sander, heavy-duty scraper, or heat gun. You can also use a methylene chloride-based paint stripper or specialized epoxy remover to break down cured epoxy. However, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for chemical removal.

Question 3

What surfaces are compatible with epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy adhesives are versatile and bond well to a wide range of surfaces, including glass, brick, or asphalt. However, surface preparation is key to strong adhesion. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants for the best results.

Question 4

Is epoxy just plastic?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy is not "just plastic" but rather a type of plastic. Epoxy is a thermosetting polymer that starts as a liquid and then chemically cures into a solid, rigid, and durable plastic-like material. However, unlike thermoplastics like polyethylene or PVC that can be melted and reshaped, epoxy is permanently set without the ability to be melted again after curing.
