Making magic with metal
There are many kinds of metal, but only one product that can repair them all: metal epoxy. Whether you’re fixing a leaky pipe or repairing part of your car, all you need is a two-part metal epoxy, a little knowhow, and you can get it done!
Epoxy is a super strength adhesive that usually comes in a twin syringe containing resin and a hardener, hence the name ‘two-part epoxy’. When these components are mixed they create strong, lasting bonds. Epoxies are especially useful for heavy duty repair when fixing materials such as metal or wood.
Most epoxies are designed to be used on specific surfaces, so you should always check that the epoxy you want to use is suitable for the materials you’re working with. If you need to repair metal, for example, you need a quality metal epoxy.
Using metal epoxy adhesive is simple. Here’s what you need to do to get the best results with two-part metal epoxy.
Need to clean up a bit of excess epoxy? Simply wipe it off with a cloth soaked in acetone (a chemical commonly found in nail polish remover). Once the epoxy has cured, it’s a bit trickier to get rid of, but it can be done; use methylated spirit to soften the epoxy and then scrape off any remaining residue with a knife.
