SLOW-CURE™ 30 min. epoxy works best for forming reinforcing fillets on joints. It has the highest strength of our epoxies. It is waterproof and more heat resistant. SLOW-CURE™ can be used for bonding if you’re willing to wait overnight. Fillers such as microballoons can be mixed with SLOW-CURE™ and FINISH-CURE™ to form a putty-like consistency. Such fillers will usually decrease the working time by about 25%. Bonded objects can be handled after 8 hours and the cured epoxy reaches full strength within 24 hours. Slow-Cure 30min. forms the strongest bonds, is waterproof and more heat resistant than any of the other epoxies in the range. Of course when using it for bonding the only problem is the length of time needed to cure; for handling there is a wait of 8 hours and full strength isn’t attained until the 24 hour mark is reached. To best take advantage of it’s strength use it to fillet already formed joints. It can be mixed with microbaloons to form a putty-like consistency which is ideal for the task, although using this technique does slow down the curing time, by around 25%.
