Epoxy Model Set

With epoxies, you mix equal parts of resin and hardener, stir well, then apply a thin film to each part. Parts should be clamped, pinned, taped or weighted in place until fully cured. Before the epoxy cures, clean off any excess with a paper towel. A word of caution about mixing epoxy—don't use extra hardener in the hopes of making the mixture harder or work faster. Just about all epoxies work best with exactly a 50/50 mix. When you increase the amount of hardener you run the risk of causing the cured epoxy to become either brittle or rubbery—neither being as strong as a properly mixed batch.

6-Minute epoxy is used for simple, small gluing operations where elaborate alignment is not required. Working time is about 5 minutes, handling time 15 minutes, and it's fully cured in about 1 hour.

30-minute epoxy is used for extra strength (because it can penetrate longer) and where several parts must be aligned and checked before it cures. Working time is about 25 minutes, handling time 2 hours, and it's fully cured in 8 hours.
