Styrofoam - Epoxy - The Home Depot

Question 1

When should you not use epoxy?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy cures rigid and cracks on flexible or moving surfaces. Epoxy softens or degrades in high-heat environments, and adheres poorly to oily or contaminated surfaces. Standard epoxy won't bond to wet or humid surfaces, and will break down under direct UV exposure. Long cure times make epoxy a poor choice for quick repairs. Plus, epoxy is not food-safe unless specified on the label.

Question 3

What is liquid epoxy used for?

Accepted Answer

Liquid epoxy is a versatile material used in many industries and DIY projects, including bonding, sealing, and coating. Liquid epoxy is your go-to solution for crafts, woodworking, repair projects, and more.

Question 4

Is epoxy challenging to use?

Accepted Answer

Epoxy can be challenging to use, especially for beginners. Epoxy requires precise mixing accuracy in the resin-to-hardener ratio. Plus, there is a limited working time to apply epoxy once cured. Poor surface preparation, cold or humid conditions, and the risk of skin irritation create additional challenges. However, many epoxy kits come with clear instructions and beginner-friendly formulations.

Question 5

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.
