The Araldite Standard Epoxy Adhesive is designed for DIY enthusiasts, professional tradespeople, and workshop owners who require a high-strength, permanent bond for complex assembly or repair tasks. This two-part system provides exceptional structural integrity across a vast range of materials, offering the significant benefit of an 80-minute open working time for precise alignment; however, users should be aware that the lengthy cure time is not suitable for "instant fix" emergency repairs.

While the working time is 80 minutes, it typically takes 8 to 12 hours to reach full functional strength, depending on ambient temperature.
Yes, once cured, the bond is water-resistant and handles exposure to moisture and oils effectively.
Araldite Standard has a semi-viscous consistency. While it can be used on vertical surfaces, you may need to use clamps or masking tape to hold the parts in place while it sets.
Uncured adhesive can be removed with a cloth dampened with acetone or methylated spirits. Once cured, it must be removed mechanically by sanding or scraping.
Yes, once the adhesive has fully cured, the surface can be sanded and painted to match the surrounding material.
The ratio of resin to hardener was likely incorrect. Ensure equal lengths are dispensed and mixed thoroughly before application.
Certain plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene are naturally non-stick. Verify the material type; if it is one of these, this adhesive will not adhere.
If stored in a cold environment, the resin may thicken. Warm the tubes slightly in your hands or room temperature water before mixing.
Before use, ensure that both surfaces are free from grease, dust, and rust. Squeeze equal lengths of resin and hardener from the twin tubes onto a disposable mixing surface and stir thoroughly until a uniform color is achieved. The adhesive is compatible with metal, wood, masonry, ceramics, glass, rubber, fabrics, and most plastics (not recommended for polyethylene or polypropylene). Store the tubes in a cool, dry place with caps tightly sealed. After use, wipe the tube nozzles clean before replacing the caps to prevent cross-contamination and hardening inside the tips.
