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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replaced My Rearview Mirror - Worked Well Once I Used it Correctly

I purchased this to re-attach the rear view mirror on my '93 Nissan. The mirror just gave up the ghost and fell off one day. I've been happy with Gorilla products in the past, so gave this stuff a shot. The syringe is easy to use. Try not to catch a whiff though. The mixed epoxy smells like. What DOES it smell like? Nothing else on this planet, anyway. Maybe. imagine a robot's poo.? Not a pleasant scent, but tolerable.First attempt was a fail, because I could not hold the mirror up to the glass and with steady pressure long enough to get it to stick. Takes over five minutes to fully adhere.I realized that I could take the small metal shoe off of the mirror first, and with great difficulty, hammering on it so hard that I though I would shatter it. But once I had that smaller piece to work with separately, I used a cross of duct tape to hold the shoe firmly to the window while the epoxy set up.I left it overnight, then peeled off the tape, slid the mirror back onto the shoe - much easier going on than coming off - and it held on there perfectly. We'll see how long it lasts, but it seems really solid.

Pros
  • Adhesives, Sealants & Lubricants
Cons
  • Not ideal for use on items that will be exposed to high amounts of wear and tear
