Good strength
Used for handling 6 knives so far, including long-handled twca cam. Great results with mild learning curve. Wet consistency is on thick side of honey, but will settle and sink a bit. So far it appears to be very strong, including setting a 3” sloyd blade in maple despite having a short ~1” tang which has held on through peeling though seasoned hardwood. Hasn’t been too hard to mask off wood parts and peel away excess without destroying unmasked sections of set epoxy.

The standard by which others are judged.
Tried and true, G Flex epoxy is the standard for a reason. Honey thick consistency, goes on smooth, long working time and sets up strong and solid. A little goes a long way, good value.

Flex
The industry standard in rebuilding wood Boats. This type of epoxy has just the slightest ability to flex compared to the rigidity of most epoxies. This is not a flex visible to the eye. But with wood Boats we like a little give. And the squeeze bottles work great. No measuring spoons required. No cleaning up of the measuring spoons required. No waste of product on the measuring spoons. This companies back up literature is brilliant and free -- again the industry standard. The back up information is the best I have ever seen in my life, so if you want to learn!

Perfect for snowboards
Perfect for fixing cracks on a snowboard. I got some clamps from home depot and clamped it for a night. Then waited 24 hours before using different sandpaper grits to fix the lumps. A little goes a long way. Be careful around the edge.

Works well, long pot time, waterproof, clear,
Excellent epoxy for niche projects like building custom knives which I engage in frequently.No color, very clear, will take expoxy stain, waterproof, Food safe, a little thinner than I would like.Drying time is fairly long but the tensile strength is really good.My one star deduction is for the price and the containers.This product has gotten very expensive and the containers are really annoying to dispense accurate proportions of the resin and epoxy.A large twin syringe with a push handle would solve the mixing issue. The price increase would be warranted with an improved dispensing system

Works well
I used this epoxy to repair a delaminated XC ski. It was reasonably easy to mix and use, and seems tough and flexible. I appreciate the long working time, although it does mean that you'll be weighting or clamping your work piece. It was straightforward to trim and sand the overflow, easier than I thought it would be. After that success, I also used it to repair the broken headband on my son's large, over-the-ear headphones. I wasn't able to get too much epoxy into the broken area, so I wasn't sure if it would hold. But after several weeks of heavy use it's still holding well. So I have to say that this expoxy has exceeded my expectations.I just wish the expoxy was available in smaller bottles... I don't use it often, and usually only a small amount (drops) at a time. So the 4oz bottles are overkill for me. At least they do seem to seal well.
