Customer Reviews for Loctite Instant Mix 5 Minute Epoxy 0.47 oz.Translucent Yellow Syringe (6 pack)

This product works exactly as advertised when you follow the instructions. However, even following the instructions won't save you from wasting a significant amount of the product each time you use it. You will also most likely be unable to use all of the product in the container. The problem is the "Instant Mix" tips. When used, they waste a large amount of the product, which remains in the baffles of the mix tip even after you've dispensed the desired amount. Furthermore, if you plan on dispensing the glue more than twice, you are out of luck, because that's how many mix tips are included. To remedy both of these problems: 1) Chuck the "Instant Mix" tips (or buy a product without them to begin with) 2) Mix this stuff yourself with two items: First, a Microbrush mixer/applicator (Google it) and second, a plastic spoon. (See photos). Peasy! Now you can mix AND USE (rather than toss out with the tips) exactly how much you need AND do it as many times as you need to, especially with small jobs--and let's face it, glue repair jobs are usually pretty small. Not sure exactly what drove the designers of this product to make it more expensive, complicated and inefficient than it needs to be with these Instant Mix tips, but yeah, it happened. Fortunately, most consumers are smarter than they are. Happy gluing!

Is very good for plastic and metallic thanks for this product

Had a finished wood mantle to set on top of a brick fireplace hearth. Could not connect the mantle with large ugly fasteners, and we did not want to destroy the brick, so we epoxied a 1x nailer to the top of the brick. 5 minutes later, we were ready to secure the mantle to the top of the fireplace with finish screws. The perfect solution to a difficult securement problem.

This product is for folks who don't like the messy process of mixing and applying epoxy from a tube set. All you have to do with this one is to snap off the tube's cap, attach the plastic nozzle, and press the plunger. The epoxy will be mixed in the nozzle as it travels toward the tip. Two removable nozzles are supplied; I think there should have been at least 4. The problem is that for small jobs, there may be a lot left in the tubes after the two non-reusable nozzles are spent. Now, it is possible to use the remaining epoxy without the nozzle attached, but after that there will be some contamination of the contents, possibly rendering the material left in the tubes unusable the next time. Of course, if you don't use the nozzles, you will have to revert to the normal method of mixing and applying. The instructions do not fully describe the application of the nozzle. Most folks will be able to figure it out, but for others: You need to push the nozzle onto the tube set body with the locking "ears" passing between the stop tabs. Then you rotate the nozzle counter-clockwise till the lock tab reaches the stop. Do the opposite to remove it. See the attached photo. The instructions say to pull back on the plunger prior to removing the nozzle, but do not pull it back too much (maybe 1/8") or you will contaminate the tube contents and the material will be too hard to use later. Place the cap on the tube set end like in the attached photo. I suggest remembering which way the cap is on before reapplying the cap the second time (or more). You can peal off the label to see how much material is left inside at any time.

It work very well with metal and plastic

IM SURE IT'S OKAY, HAVENT USED IT YET, MAKING A MR SAWDUST TABLE FOR MY RADIAL ARM SAW

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far one of the best super glues products I have ever used. The glue is a gel like consultancy which make it very easy to work with vs the more liquidity types. I in a great dispenser that give you great control so the glues does not go all over the place.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter asked for new pens for school and these were perfect! She loves the way they write and they don't smear or smudge either. We'll definitely be buying more to have around the house or for school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product. I love the pen design, I can use on smaller things without it showing much. It sticks and dries pretty quick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great super glue! Only brand I use. The precision tip is extremely helpful for projects that need just a dab.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice to have a gel pen to provide accurate application without "blobbing" onto the surface. It's good to have 2 kinds of super glue on hand--the thin, runny kind to seep into fine cracks, and a gel like this. Gel enables bonding to surfaces where there may be a fine gap (won't fill a substantial gap). Nice dispenser!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality product and durability holding up on the projects that I just finished. I will be using more of this product and I’m sure I need to buy another one of these products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pen dispenses the super glue precisely and neatly. Perfect for smaller projects or smaller hands. Leaves no mess and the cap keeps the glue from drying out no matter how many times you use it. Buying more to keep on hand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this product to reattach some of the plastic components that have broken inside my car over time. The precision pen is great for small areas and the hold has worked excellently so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Normally I wouldn't, but I had to write a review for this product because I was so impressed. This Precision Applicator for Super Glue was so useful that I was able to glue my kids toys together, then I sealed it up and put away as usual. However when I needed to glue another household item I couldn't believe that the Glue was ready to use when unscrewing the cap. Usually i have to cut off another 1/4" of the tip and drive a needle through, but not this time. Great applicator for this glue. I won't by the old tubes any more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've wanted a good precision pen super glue for a while. I've tried other brands, namely the one with the gorilla, and they're okay, but even after a while, the glue dries. This one has not dried on me yet. So that says a lot about the cap and design taken into account. The super glue itself works just as good as the gorilla brand. So overall, this is a winner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Loctite super glue precision pen is a great super glue product. It does not run or drip and I can apply it to small areas. It also dries clear. It can be use on many types of materials. It also is super strong and does a great job of holding broken or torn items together very well without noticeable dried up residue. I recommend this for anyone who wants a precise applying type of super glue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product worked fantastic, the glue held up really well and is strong, it dried fairly fast and was easy to apply in the right area. It didnt dry out in the tube at all and a little goes a long way. Id highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Precision Pen Gel Super Glue! The glue has a strong bond and holds tightly. I’ve used it to repair a broken coffee mug handle and it worked great! Being a pen style makes it easy to use. I highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I require these kinds of pen glues for my day to day work to assemble props for photo shoots. This glue works perfectly for me. It is easy to apply and it dries so quickly that i can make props instantly. You know how there are some areas that are difficult to reach with some types of pen glues, well, this one is the exact opposite. You can get it to the hardest places without any hassle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must have! This works perfect if you have a small spot/area to apply to that the normal size applies too much to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product about a month ago. I have used it a number of times now. The precision pen is great for to get into small spaces and not over glue, by giving the control back to you. The gel is amazing because it reduces running.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a box of broken toys and such that we keep to fix when we have time. I was very excited to use this precision glue pen as some of the broken things require just a small amount of glue. This was perfect for my son’s small die cast cars that had some pieces break off, as well as a button on my wife’s leather purse, and the ceramic picture frame my daughter made for us. The pen delivers just a small amount of glue based on how hard you squeeze it. It also comes with a cover to prevent leaks, but be sure no glue remains on the tip first. It dries instantly and everything we glued stayed fix. Basically good for anything where you need just a few drops or a line of clear, strong glue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy because how well this worked! I need a very small plastic piece to super glue back together and this did the job perfect. I was able to precisely apply glue on the broken part and have it back together within a few second, than minutes for it to dry and seemed like it never broke. Holds up as well as I did test and make sure it wouldn’t break back off easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This glue is amazing it honestly works like magic. It fixes everything in an easy to use manner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The precision tip was perfect for fixing a pair of broken glasses. The hold is strong and long lasting and has exceeded my expectations. Very pleased!
