Very good sport epoxy

This epoxy is very good. As advertised, once cured it is very strong but still allows for some flexibility. As for the degree of flexibility, it is difficult to qualify. However, if you cure the diluted puddle on a piece of paper and then do the same with the standard epoxy, the standard epoxy will become more brittle as the cured puddle is folded and twisted. The epoxy gives off a certain odor after mixing which gives me the impression that it is a strong industrial grade substance. However, the smell is not strong enough that you need ventilation or cannot use it in doors. The viscosity of epoxy resin is quite high, and it flows a little less than ordinary honey. I appreciated the fact that equal volumes, not masses, of two parts can be dosed and then mixed since both parts have essentially the same density. Packaging, appearance, performance and so on are professional in my opinion.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Easy repairability
