FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
What is epoxy?
Any of various usually thermosetting resins capable of forming tight cross-linked
polymer structures characterized by tough strong adhesion.
- 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, Marine Fix FAST or SuperWELD 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.

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.
