Most epoxies will set faster if the epoxy is warmed while mixing it. (I mix small amounts in a tin lid on the stove) After applying the epoxy keep warming the area but not too much. 110 - 120 f. will give you a faster and stronger joint. A hairdryer can do this easily.

What makes glue strong or weak?

I believe what makes a glue strong or weak is the ingredients it's made of. However, I also know that there are glues for almost every purpose and most will be very good at the exact purpose they are made for, but may appear weak when used in unsuitable conditions. I work at repairing many things and consequently I carry a box of over 30 different glues in my work truck and even more at home.I have rigid fast setting glues, pliable glues, silicon adhesives, glues that will work in extreme heat, glues that adhere underwater and glues that melt substances together. Each has a purpose but few are good for everything. The trick is using the right glue for the material you are gluing.

How to Select Glues and Adhesives?

Glues and adhesives are important, especially if you’re into creating beautiful crafts. If you want to choose the right glue and adhesive for your crafts, it will provide strength and stability in your work. In general, glues are made of polymers including starch and protein. On the other hand, adhesives are based on synthesized polymers. Whether you are a craftsman, a professional or just a hobbyist, you need to find the appropriate glue that can help you. Here are some tips on how to select glues and adhesives. • Determine the kind of material on which you will be using the glue. Actually, there are different glues specific for different materials, such as glues for wood and plastic. • Familiarize yourself with the different kinds of glues and adhesives available. Usually, glues for household are classified in two categories. These are glues for woods and other materials. As for wood adhesives, they are classified as contact cement, clear cement, hide glue, plastic resin and epoxy. • Once you are familiar with the different kinds of glue, be sure to read the specifications of the function of the glue. If you need waterproof glue for filling of gaps in the wood, an epoxy would be perfect, because it is waterproof. As for furniture repair, the type of glue that you will need is hide glue. There are also specific types of glue for repairing ceramics and eyeglasses. This glue is called cyanoacrylate, which is actually thinner than other glues. • Shop around before you purchase your glue. Before you buy the glue, make sure that it best fits your needs, to make the most out of it. Do not get confused with the different kinds of glue that you see, because there is a glue out there for your purpose. Also remember that glues and adhesives are toxic chemicals, so you have to handle them with care and use them in an area with adequate ventilation.
