Had a problem with attaching a sorta heavy sign on an office window inside our building. This the ONLY thing that worked. And actually, it was the least expensive. Very Happy. Thanks Loctite!

Unfortunately, this is translucent yellow. I often use epoxy to fill dings in wood, and this puts the natural color off. If it was clear it would be fine, but this product is only good for places where you just want structure and not invisibility. If you want clear I suggest JB Weld, which I haven't seen with mixing tips.
The mixing tips are a mixed blessing: If you want to put some in a cavity they are great. If you are using a lot, ditto. If you just need a dab, squirt it out of the tube directly and mix by hand, otherwise you will run out of nozzles quickly. You have to take them off right away, and discard with unused cement inside.
If you do use the mixing tips, be sure to discard the first bit. It's easy for one tube to start dispensing first, and in that case the first dab will be unmixed, tither hardener or resin only, and will never set up.
Note also that this is mercaptan-based (as are most if not all fast epoxies). Don't use it in underwater applications, water will slowly dissolve it.

I used the product to repair damaged exterior trim that was rotted from water infiltration. Not really what this product was intended for so I had to babysit it for a while but it hardened in no time and held up to sanding really well. Now that it has been painted, you can hardly tell a repair was made.

The epoxy worked great, where screws were unable to hold a bar stool seat of wood to a metal frame. This stuff did.

Easy to use
The application tip does the mixing for you so it is fairly easy to use compared to the old style you needed to mix before you applied it.

It works.
It was easy to use. You just have to watch out for the dripping so make sure you cover the work area.

Great Epoxy/Ease of use
I have used this brand and type epoxy for many years and it has served me perfect. It is easy to use as it mixes coming out the tube, no need to find a piece of cardboard and a string stick to mix. Just depress the plunger and the epoxy mixture into whatever needs fixing and let is sit and hardening per directions and thats it. Easy clean up and no mess, love the product.

Excellent Product
I used this to bond a mounting bracket back on my ABS plastic air box. It was so easy having the self mixing nozzle, and the bond is seemingly as strong as the plastic itself! I will never use another epoxy again, as before this I had tried many others without success.

Complete waste of time, effort and money.
I bought this to simply glue the appendages back on a small ceramic figurine. I would have preferred the clear version but Home Depot did not carry that. I followed the directions to a "T" and 2 hours later the glue has not hardened. Other reviewers mentioned a strong smell but mine had No Smell at all. I can only conclude that I got a bad batch of chemicals that had no reaction when combined. I agree with others that the dispenser is awkward to use as it seems to be designed for larger stronger hands than I have!
I could see things were not going well so I put the second applicator on the tube and dispensed some on a paper clip to attach it to a safety pin, since this product is supposed to glue metal as well as ceramic. 2 hours later I lift the safety pin and the paper clip slides off.
Complete fail.

Good Stuff
I used this for a project where I had cut channels inside pieces of HDPE and was bolting metal inside those channels. There were areas that I wanted to fill some large voids between the two pieces. It said it doesn’t bond to HDPE (not much does) but I was looking for support, not bonding. I endued up using 2.5 bottles and kept one extra nozzle for next time I use the last ½ a bottle. I like the long mixing nozzle as it’s easy to get the epoxy where you want it and there’s no mixing. My only gripe is that when you need to get a lot out of a bottle at a time there is resistance and it can cause some sore fingers/hands with all the pushing. In the end it worked perfectly – dried rock hard and slightly translucent yellow (not worried about color).

0.47 fl. oz. Five Minute Static Mix Epoxy.
I used this Loctite 0.47 fl. oz. Five Minute Static Mix Epoxy and it worked very well. I have this very old salt shaker was belong to my grandmother and it was split in two. SO, I used this loctite five minute static mix epoxy on it and BOOM!!!! It become one unit again as a salt shaker, and it is very hard to tell it use to be in a two peaces. I am happy to report this epoxy work and bonds just great, at list with ceramics.
This epoxy was purchased to re-mount an under-mount sink whose mounting clips had come unglued from the marble vanity top underside. I cannot attest if the epoxy alone is strong enough to support the weight of the sink as I also supplemented the re-mounting with clear silicone around the sink edge and added metal strapping to support the sink. One great feature is the spiral nozzle that you can attach to the syringe-type applicator. As the 2 part epoxy and hardener travel through the nozzle, they combine in the proper mixture. Do note however that the nozzles are one time use only as the mixture hardens within 3 to 5 minutes. The package does however come with 2 nozzles. If there is any remaining product, you can still mix it manually. I usually use a piece of foil and a popsicle stick.
