Questions and Answers for Loctite 0.85 fl. oz. Marine Epoxy

A:  Yes, it can be used to repair a hole in the bottom of the dishwasher tub.

A:  The Loctite Marine Epoxy was not designed or intended for this purpose and would not be recommended.

A:  The answer to your question would essentially be no. The Loctite Marine Epoxy is rigid when cured. It can handle some flex but not much depending upon the materials it is bonded to and nature of the intended use.

A:  Yes, this can be used on a cracked outdoor spigot

A:  The Loctite Marine Epoxy is not designed for applications or pressurized systems. The epoxy more than likely will not hold up depending upon the amount of pressure that it would be exposed to.

A:  I’m not sure it will hold up to the pressure. You might want to contact the manufacturer: http://m.loctiteproducts.com

A:  Soak a paper towel or cloth with vinegar and gently rub it on the affected area until theepoxy softens enough to peel off. No luck? Acetone, or acetone-based nail polishremover, can also be applied to a paper towel and used in the same way, but do so with care.

A:  If the Loctite Marine Epoxy is already cured removal will be quite difficult. Cured adhesive may be cut away with caution using a sharp blade. Prolonged immersion, if possible, in paint stripper will soften the cured adhesive to aid removal but keep in mind it is important to follow solvent manufacturers’ instructions when using strippers. There is not guarantee that damage to surface finishes will not occur.

A:  The Loctite Epoxy Marine may work for this type of repair. It depends on the size of the crack and where it is located on the bowl.

A:  Honestly, I don't know. However, it is pretty amazing stuff. You really shouldn't repair a toilet bowl in the manner. The nature of the porcelain surface in a toilet bowl helps to exclude bacteria in a way that a plastic simply cannot. It also might support fungus which would also be undesireable. Highly recommend that you replace the toilet.

A:  "Possibly"... I believe this product will seal cracks in fiberglass structures, but... it depends on how large the crack is and if the crack is located in an area of the tub that will receive stress from movement. If you are able to post a photo of the crack you would like to use the product on and where the crack is located, this would be helpful information to better answer your question.

A:  Yes, The Loctite Marine Epoxy can be used but the success of the repair will depend upon the nature of the crack in the tub. If it is in areas where the fiberglass can flex it may not hold up well without some sort of support from beneath. Typically, a crack indicates there is stress from movement.

A:  The Loctite Marine Epoxy is not suitable for use on potable water tanks. If your tank is not for potable water (drinking water) and it is made of polyurethane as you have indicated, then the Marine Epoxy should work. However, if the tank is made of polypropylene then the Loctite Marine Epoxy will not bond. You should check with the tank manufacturer first to determine its composition since most tanks for RV’s are made of polypropylene.

A:  HDPE is High Density Polyethylene plastic not polyurethane. If you are sure the boat hull is HDPE, then the Loctite Marine Epoxy would not be recommended as it will not bond to polyethylene or HDPE type plastics. Recommend you contact the boat manufacturer for their repair recommendations.

A:  I don't think it will stick

A:  I was trying to create a water drainage system. With Yard shark lawn trim. Glued it topgether. Plastic! Didn't hold very well, never bomnded in all places. used some sort of super glue & plastic window screen & coated with flex seal spray. Never finished the project. How about flesx seal liquid in a can. Ed

A:  If prepped and cured dry, yes. I didn't have much luck setting underwater but couldn't prep the surface properly. On the same application dry, no issues. I don't believe it's good for the environment, so it's kind of a dilemma, but it is a good product for the purpose.

A:  Yes it will, it makes a watertight seal

A:  It has been a few months since I used the product, but believe the color is gray, (after it is mixed). I used it to make a handle for a carving fork, and the product worked great.

A:  Color of the Loctite Marine Epoxy is white when cured
