A:  Dear Customer, thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot regarding the Loctite Instant Mix 0.47 fl. oz 5 Minute Epoxy (6-Pack). This product should work fine however, more suitable products for plastics would be Loctite Epoxy Plastic or the Loctite Plastics Bonder. These products will work on most plastics but not all such as polyethylene, polypropylene, non-stick coatings, nylon products or flexible materials. Hope this helps! -The Home Depot-

A:  Thank you for the question. It is possible Loctite Instant Mix 5 Minute Epoxy will work but results cannot be guaranteed. It is best that you check with the soap dispenser manufacturer before attempting this installation and follow their instructions.

A:  Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, HDPE is known for being a difficult plastic to glue because of its “high abrasion resistance” and Loctite Instant Mix 5-minute Epoxy will not work on this material. Depending on the nature and size of your project or repair situation you might consider trying Loctite Plastics Bonding System which is designed for hard to bond plastics in small projects and repairs. Loctite does not offer a product for large projects involving HDPE.

A:  Thank you for the question. The Loctite Instant Mix 5-minute Epoxy can be used in this application depending upon the condition of the base substrate to which the clip will be bonded to and how well it was prepared. Remember full strength capability takes at least 24 hours for this intended use.

A:  Thank you for the question, Lerissa. Using the Loctite Instant Mix 5-minute Epoxy is possible for this intended use as it bonds very well to marble assuming the area of burial will not be exposed to continuous water immersion or be continuously wet. Another alternative is a silicone such as the GE Silicone 2 Kitchen and Bath Clear available is a 2.8 fl. oz. squeeze tube.

A:  You could but this epoxy is not as easy to apply in a neat line like silicone caulking. Be sure to clean up any excess before it fries and to make neat lines use a Dap Cap also sold at The Home Depot, you push it along the seams like a shovel to clean up the joints and remove any excess.
