Review on 3M Super-Fast Repair Adhesive, 04747: Amber Adhesive for Rapid Repairs - 47.3 mL Cartridge by Aaron Villanueva

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I seem to come across projects somewhere all the time.

This is by far the handiest product I've come across in a long time. That's why; It seems I keep coming across projects where I need to glue something (epoxy) but there's just no way to clamp it while the glue dries. With this epoxy you can literally just hold it in place for 30 seconds and it cures to the point where you can let go. After a few minutes you can actually use the part. I also use it to caulk things, you can push it down in minutes without leaking (I've used it to caulk cavities at low pressure, only a few pounds per square inch. Technically it's not a sealant). If that sounds good to you, I'd just take the plunge and invest in a gun and a pack of 50 decoys. If you buy tips in a pack of 50, they only cost about a dollar each. When you need this type of epoxy, there's often no other reasonable way to get the job done, and $1 doesn't seem like such a big deal. I also have 5 minute, 30 minute and long versions of the tubes. I don't understand how anyone can use this quick drying material without a gun and nozzle, it cures too quickly. Of course, for longer epoxy, you can mix it by hand and apply it with a popsicle stick or something. I still like using a gun and nozzle because they mix well and allow you to apply glue exactly where you need it. True, you're wasting some of the epoxy that's left in the nozzle, and you're using a $1 nozzle every time you glue something with epoxy. But for accuracy, time savings, and avoidance of clutter, it's worth it.
