Review on PC Products 70147 PC Clear Adhesive: Powerful Bonding Solution for PC Repairs by Brad Ward

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stronger than metal. My copper pipe broke before the epoxy

When used correctly, this material makes for an incredibly strong bond. I used it to attach a copper tube to an aluminum tube in a DIY project. I realized I had to make changes and remove the copper tubing. No, I broke the copper before I could move it, which I then had to saw through and break off pieces with pliers to get the copper off so I could do it again. Like glue it's pretty much a 10/10. My goal wasn't to make my two pipes one, and that's done pretty well. If you use it wrong, the connection won't be great, but if you use it right, it's amazing. Gluing 2 flat surfaces together is not that good. Roughening the surface helps, but it's enough for an edge to lift slightly for it to be removed. But if it's a 3D connection, so the adhesive keeps it from moving and from loosening, that's great. When used properly, anything I try to remove will break before the epoxy evaporates. So as a permanent solution I couldn't ask for more. And for ease of use, it is very easy to use. I just press something with tape onto a piece of cardboard to waterproof the surface. Mix them up with a paperclip. apply it Wait. Note that hot media will solidify faster. Try not to pick it up with your hands, it's sticky and doesn't come off easily even with dish soap. But it's not super glue, so it won't glue your skin together right away. he gets more points for this than for glue. Plus, it's incredibly cheap and non-toxic once cured. This means it should be safe for most uses. I can't ask for more.

Pros
