How heat resistant are the epoxies?

1. Refer to working/set time and full cure time of each Amazing GOOP Epoxy.
2. Surface should be clean, dry and free from all contaminants such as dirt, grease, oil, rust and paint. For best results, roughen surface with coarse sandpaper or file.
3. Always prime porous surfaces (wood, concrete) with a thin squeegee coat of the same epoxy before the initial thick coat is applied.
4. Mix equal amounts by volume, side A and side B, in clean round mixing container, preferably new paper cups or buckets. DO NOT attempt mixing on a flat surface. DO NOT vary the 1-to-1 ratio for any reason.
   NOTE: Sufficient stirring and mixing is the most important step for satisfactory results with Amazing GOOP Epoxies
5. Best when used between 70°F and 85°F.
6. Stir and mix thoroughly for 2 1/2 minutes, scraping sides and bottom often, and use a fold-into-center motion so both sides can be blended.
7. Once the epoxy is thoroughly mixed, you may refer to the individual Amazing GOOP Epoxy working/set time and temperature information noted to complete the project.
8. Full cure time varies depending on which Amazing GOOP Epoxy product is being used. Once cured, the project may be sanded, ground, filled, tapped, sawed, drilled, and painted with most paints. Cure time decreases with higher temperatures and increases with lower temperatures. Thick coats cure faster than thin coats.
9. Clean tools with acetone or lacquer thinner. Use plenty of soap and water to remove epoxy from skin.

• Low shrinkage and maintains strength after full cure.
• Used especially in surface coatings and adhesives.
• Will not shrink or crack if thoroughly mixed and the surface is prepared correctly.

Why would I need to use epoxy rather than an adhesive?

Epoxy is the strongest most permanent adhesion to multiple materials and dries very hard. Amazing GOOP Epoxy is often stronger than the material being repaired and is resistant to chemicals, fuel, motor oils, transmission and hydraulic fluids, anti-freeze, alcohol, water and grease.

What are the advantages of using a paste epoxy such as SuperMEND, SuperPATCH, Marine Fix FAST, SuperWELD, or Plumber'sWELD vs. a syringe epoxy or liquid epoxy?

There are several advantages, the most important of which are these:

• Consistency: Thick epoxy paste provides excellent vertical, overhead repairs without running or sagging. Its thick formulation seals very effectively and offers high-impact resistance.
• Variety of Uses: Epoxy forms to any shape desired and can be used to fill, patch and anchor.
• Characteristics: Once cured, Amazing GOOP Epoxy can be sanded, ground, filled, tapped, sawed, drilled, and painted with most paints and will not rust or corrode.

What surfaces can epoxy be applied to?

There are assortments of epoxies with distinctive formulations that work best on recommended substrates. Amazing GOOP Epoxies are a versatile all-purpose paste and may be applied over a variety of surfaces:

Stone	Metal	Wood	Copper
PVC	Glass	Brick	Bronze
ABS	Aluminum	Ceramics	Porcelain
Fiberglass	Concrete	Iron	Graphite
Steel	Metal Castings	Most Plastics	Marble
NOTE: Epoxy pastes bond to most surfaces except polypropylene, Teflon®, and polyethylene.

Can I color the epoxies?

Yes. To match epoxy to surface, epoxy may be tinted with powder colorants, most water-based colorants and food dye.

What are the measurement ratios when mixing epoxies?

Amazing GOOP Epoxies are designed to mix in equal amounts by volume 1 to 1 ratio. Adding more hardener will not make epoxy set faster.

What are the set and dry times?

Amazing GOOP Epoxies are designed to mix in equal amounts by volume 1-to-1 ratio.

Product	Working/Set Time	Full Cure Time
SuperMEND	15 minutes @ 70°F	4 hours @ 70°F
SuperPATCH	5 minutes @ 70°F	20 minutes @ 70°F
Marine FIX FAST	5 minutes @ 70°F	20 minutes @ 70°F
SuperWELD	20 minutes @ 70°F	2.5 hours @ 70°F
Plumber'sWELD	20 minutes @ 70°F	2-3 hours @ 70°F
NOTE: Cure times are based on an application thickness of 1/8". Cure time is the amount of time required before sanding or painting. Best when used between 60°F and 85°F.

Heat Resistance

140° to 150°F	190°F	250°F
SuperMEND	SuperPATCH	SuperWELD
Fix Fast Marine	Fix FAST	Plumber'sWELD
NOTE: Heat resistance values are based on intermittent temperatures. Product may soften when exposed to constant higher temperatures.

• To avoid skin contact, disposable gloves are recommended.
• If contents on either side appear crystallized or solid, apply moderate heat (120°F to 130°F) until contents return to soft putty state. Allow to cool before mixing side A with side B.
