Bob Smith IndustriesBSI-205 Clear Slow-Cure Epoxy (4.5 oz. Combined)

Great slow cure epoxy. This is one of the best epoxies I've used. Great seller, fast delivery, fantastic product. Be careful of the heat from the curing epoxy - I use a small plastic cup for epoxy and there was smoke coming off it toward minute 20 after I mixed the resin and hardener. That said, very smooth, strong bond. I'm very happy with this product.

I have been using Bob Smith products for many years. Their epoxy is one of the best for fabrication. I have seen some negative reviews, and would like to mention a few things to be aware of. Do not mix this in a very large quantity in a narrow container. Yes it will get quite hot and also set quicker. The mix is not real critical but should be very close to one to one. Stir well especially the slower 30 minute stuff. Stir for a couple of minutes. Use a shallow pan or dish. I use plastic condiment cups that hold about 2 ounces and are wide. I contacted the folks at BSI about shelf life. They said that the shelf life is 5 or more years. If it gets cloudy from absorbing moisture to micro wave for 15 seconds. Not sure I would try that. Another note. You can thin this a bit with denatured alcohol and use it to seal wood. I mix about 2 parts epoxy to one part alcohol and it is thin enough to brush, but will run a bit so maybe add a bit less alcohol. Stir well you will see the water released from the epoxy and it will go from cloudy to clear.

Quality product with predictable results.

I recently bought this Epoxy to finish a couple projects and it works perfect. Super strong finish, slow cure so your not in a rush, sets up clear but also excepts pigment well if you need color match epoxy. easy to work with and like the individual containers so you can get the perfect ratio.

Works great for knifemaking

Sticky stuff. I use this epoxy for a variety of uses. It's really good stuff.

I tried this for bedazzling, which I do to pretty much everything I see. It worked on every hard surface I tried and allowed me long working time with much less waste. When it cured, the bond was incredible. I will never use anything else.

The bilge area of my old boat had a piece of plywood that was rotten. I dug out the old wood/fiberglass, then used this epoxy to bed a piece of HDPE marine board (starboard) back to the bottom of the hull. The consistency is about the same as any other typical epoxy and the color is a clear light amber. I used the entire 4oz for this and mixed it on a paper dinner plate. If mixing large quantities, epoxy can heat and accelerate if mixing in a small cup. The working time and cure time was spot on. It appears to be rock solid so far too. Also, it seems to have bonded well to the starboard which many glues/epoxies don't do well at.
