Review on Clear Gorilla 2 Part Epoxy Syringe, 5 Minute Set, .85 Ounce (Pack Of 6) by Andres Mayes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good. for my opinion

I purchased this to repair a metal ring that had separated from a stained glass lamp shade. Originally, it was soldered on but the solder failed over many years. It would have to be soldered from the top and not only would the solder show, I don’t think it would have held any better. Then I would have to try to match the color of the solder lines.I have used epoxy in the past but never epoxy that dried clear. I coated the side of the ring as well as the area the ring fits into. I let it dry overnight and it was solid and no epoxy oozed out the top. It looked like it had never been repaired. The next day, I flipped it over and filled in two little spaces where there was about a 1/32” gap. Another overnight dry time and I am fairly certain it will not come apart again.I put the shade back on the base and the entire 26” wide shade is being supported by the tiny 1” ring. It is also a heavy shade.Another nice thing is the included cap. It snaps on tight and insures that the epoxy will still be good for the next use. I can’t tell you how many I have thrown away after just one use.

Pros
  • Epoxy Adhesives
Cons
  • May not be able to withstand UV rays or sunlight exposure
