Hardman® five minute epoxy in "Double-Bubble"™ packages
Extra fast-setting epoxy (Hardman Red* or 04001) has an enormous variety of uses. It will bond ceramics, wood, metal, glass, stones, and many plastics and can be used in building science projects and experimental setups. Sets quickly enough for makeshift work, holds strongly enough for permanent use. It is non-removable from most surfaces when cured. Acts as an electrical insulator at normal DC voltages**.

Hardman Epoxy 04001
 

Work time is 3-5 minutes at room temperature. Sold in lots of 1 dozen single-use packets or in cartons containing 100 of the packets.

Single-use packages consist of resin and hardener that are squeezed out and mixed together immediately prior to use.

Surface preparation:  Surfaces to be glued should be free of oil, grease, and dirt. Metals are best prepared by roughing the surface with fine sandpaper and cleaning with acetone or alcohol before gluing.  Please be advised some surfaces do not degrease quickly and may require extended treatment.  Thorough degreasing is very important.

Cleanup:  Uncured epoxy residue can be removed with isopropyl alcohol.  Once the epoxy is cured it is not considered removable;  don't let it set on anything you don't want permanently glued.

Curing Temperature:  this epoxy cures best at room temperature or slightly above. Do not expose Epoxy 04001 to prolonged temperatures of more than 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

This epoxy takes much longer to set if the temperature is below 60 F.

Safety:   Do not use this or any adhesive to glue objects that could cause injury if the bond were to fail.  Wear protective gloves while handling the uncured epoxy.  Work in a well-ventilated area.  Do not ingest epoxy or get it in the eyes.

Storage: store between 50 and 80 F. The lower end of the temperature range gives slightly better shelf life.  If the epoxy gets too cold it will crystallize.  It must then be thawed at room temperature before mixing.

Color and consistency:  This epoxy dries semi-transparent and with a pale yellow-amber tint. It has the consistency of syrup when first mixed.

Best used for:  Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Epoxy plastics, Stone, Wood, Glass, Porcelain, Leather.

Can also be used for:  Copper, Brass, Tin, Zinc, Acrylic plastics, Phenolic plastics, Urethanes, Fiberglass, Rubber.

Not recommended for:  Polycarbonate, Polystyrene, PVC, ABS, Nylon.



* The "Red" is only a trade designation... this epoxy has no added colorants.

** Use at your own risk for this purpose!  May not be up to electrical codes;  hobby use only.  WARNING: do NOT attempt to use this or other common insulators for High Voltage applications.  The material will not serve as an insulator for high voltage AC experiments, either, since you could still be shocked severely via capacitive coupling.
