Glue it and Forget It
The Loctite epoxy delivery set up is easy to use, quick and works solidly. I wish you could clean out the nozzles (only comes with 2) as I'll have way more product after disposals of these. Cured product holds very strongly!

A solid product
Loctite products generally are at the top of my list, and this one is no different. The epoxy mixes easily, and allows sufficient time for application before hardening in the five minute period.

Worked Beautifully
Glue used to attach door handle on microwave (plastic to stainless steel). Mixed well and has held up with no further problems.

Works too well
In between setting an overlay (no longer than 30 seconds) to a piece of furniture the glue hardened in the applicator. Tried prying the hardened glue it but it had already set. Wish there was a applicator cap to prevent this or so I could use one applicator more than once. Works very well but not on length of usage.

    Easy to use, no seperate mixing needed
    Used this to epoxy blue electrical outlets in a granite backsplash. When dry the outlets were steady as a rock and lined up perfectly because I was able to make adjustments before the epoxy set up.

    Works on plastic in motion!
    My mom had a cheap string weed trimmer, but hated the auto feed function. So I bought a head replacement that was meant for gas trimmers. It fell off after a couple uses, since it was just wedged on there. I used this stuff and it never moved again. My mom loves it now!

    Best epoxy delivery system ever
    I have used epoxy many times, but this is the best delivery system ever ! Gone is the need to mix the two components - the spiral tip automatically mixes them as they exit the nozzle.

    Very strong bond in an easy to use applicator!
    This epoxy is great ! It dries/gets tacky fast so be sure to have everything ready and clean to be glued. The syringe type applicator makes it easy to apply and the cap seals it so it doesn't dry out. Be sure not to get Part A onto Part B otherwise the cap might stick on. I wiped the tips clean after use to prevent that. I made a solid repair to a broken solar lamp outside that accidentally got run over by my lawnmower. Squeeze out an ample amount, mix it together good, I used a toothpick to mix it and apply it. I highly recommend this product for easy repairs on most materials !

    Works Great
    This epoxy really works great...The Mixing Tubes make this the easiest epoxy to use and helps get the glue right where you need it. The second Mixing Tube means that if you only use half of it, you can cap it and then attach the second tube for later use...

    Mixing nozzle can make this epoxy easier to use
    Most epoxies that I have used in recent years require you to squeeze the two chemicals onto some cardboard or something for mixing, and then you have to apply that mixed epoxy with something like a toothpick to what you are gluing. What makes this epoxy unique (or at least new to me) is that it comes with a nozzle you snap on, and the mixing happens in the nozzle. Thus the dispensed epoxy is fully mixed and ready to use when it comes out, and you don't have to manually mix it elsewhere. When you are done, you remove the nozzle and throw it away before capping off the dispenser for future use. In addition to avoiding manual mixing, the nozzle has two other advantages: 1) By limiting the excess glue that comes out, you are also minimizing the glue fumes you have to breath; 2) The nozzle could make it much easier to get the glue to the location you want to use it. Now in my particular case I found that the nozzle didn't have the precision I needed to use it directly on the small area I was gluing (the drops came out to large and fast), so I still ended up putting a few drops on a piece of cardboard and using a toothpick to apply the epoxy anyway. The one downside I can see to this system is that it comes with only two dispensing nozzles, which means you can only use this epoxy twice. I use epoxy seldom enough (often months between use) that once I've opened the package the stuff usually dries out before I get to use it again, but if you use epoxy multiple times in a short time period, you could run out of dispensing tubes before the epoxy goes bad.

    Handy adhesive for many applications
    I use lots of 2-part epoxy for my projects, both as a glue and a sealer. I always have gallon cans of marine epoxy on hand, but the minimum amount I can dispense with their pumps is about an ounce at a time- way too much for many adhesive jobs. This handy system enables you to mix small amounts easily and get the ratio correctly, which is not possible with 'two squeeze tube' systems. I've used this product successfully for gluing both wood and metal and the joints are really strong. Metal has to be roughened before gluing, and aluminum should be roughened immediately before applying the adhesive.

    Disappointed......
    Purchased this product twice or three times before... Worked perfect every time, until this last batch. 100% useless. Wouldn't adhere to glass, where as previously this compound would stick like crazy! Must have been a faulty batch.... Cleanup is a mess after this epic adhesion fail

    Product did not work
    followed label instructions to glue a plastic picture fram together. Allowed to dry for almost 2 days and shortly here after it fell apart. Tried again paying careful attention to directions with the same results. I will always shop at Home Depot but will not purchase this specific product again.

    Long lasting
    The hot water knob on my bath tub broke and a replacement wasn't available because of its age. Before replacing the whole set, I used this epoxy not as a glue only but as a filler to hold the glued pieces together and reinforce the plastic. It's been a week, and with multiple daily uses it is still holding strong. Once it dried, it is as strong as the original plastic.

    I use it all the time
    I use this all the time. Great for small projects and less mess and waste with the premixers compared with hand mixers. The plunger has to pushed kind of hard and not expect to be a le to reuse any unused material left in the dispenser at a later date because. Also discard the first few drops to ensure a well mixed product. I have probably used 10-20 of these for various repairs over the last few years.

    Not for occassional use
    Product comes with two applicators, which are required for use. The applicators are not re-useable, so after two uses, the remaning material is unavailable. Would be satisfactory if using over half the glue per application.

      Easy to use epoxy
      I have found that this fills the need for my intended use. No need for mixing cups, sticks & prep work. Simply attacha a mixing tip and inject useable 2-part epoxy right out of the tip. I would not recomend this if you needc just one little shot of glue because you do use/loose a fair amount in the mixing tip. Great for "production line" use where you will need at least half the containers worth of glue in a few minute time frame. Aroma is a little strong but nothing a-typical of any epoxy glue product.
