Two-Part Epoxy Glue (Epoxy 330)

Super strong, easy to work with, perfectly clear, great for jewelry work. Repaired a broken jadite bangle that has held up well.

I used this to repair a pair of vintage gold and pearl earrings I have after doing some research on what jewelers recommended for securing pearls. I am amazed. I think this works better than the designated pearl glue I had tried out in the past. The pears have held for months, in and out of the water, showing no sign of budging. So impressed!

I saw a video online by the Jewelry Academy where they used epoxy glue as resin. So the search was on for a 'water clear' epoxy glue. So many of them have a very pale yellow cast, which is fine if you're going to use it on some colors, but I needed clear. This one is ultra clear, even on white polymer clay and paper. It cures in a few hours (5 or 6) but you only have about 15-20 minutes of working time, so you need to have everything ready. It does self-level if you do it quickly, and it resists pulling away from the edges because it cures so quickly. These tubes are the size of the Hypo cement, very small tubes, and although you only use a little at a time, if you want to cast several pieces, you'll have to work fast. My only issue was that I couldn't get it in larger bottles like the BSI Epoxy glue (which does have a slight yellow cast to it). I use the epoxy on parchment paper, which it doesn't stick to, so cleanup is easy. I can reuse the parchment paper if I pick of the hardened glue.

Good epoxy for use in repairing small metal-to-metal and hard plastic parts. Abraiding and then wiping surfaces of mating parts (at joining surfaces only) with a mild solvent or isopropyl alcohol is a must. Cure time is definitely 24 hours at room temperature...clamping or taping is mandatory or parts will shift during cure. Tried to accelerate cure times by pre-warming parts and allowing warm air environment for curing in a closed chamber for 12 hours, but it didn't noticeably reduce cure time for full strength...but the faster cure did outgas more odor during the attempt. Went back to normal 24 hour cure time at room temperature, and a pull-apart test using pliers and a bench vice on cured parts was great. The bonded joints did not break or separte, but the adjacent area did :) Weatherbug

My wife makes jewelry and uses this to bond stones to settings.

I've used epoxy for lapidary work since lapping and mounting mineral thin sections in college. I've known about E-330 for years but it was simply not a commonly available off the shelf epoxy. I've been variously satisfied with more common and less expensive off the shelf 2.5-3.5K psi epoxy's.This was an accidental find. E-330 provides an acceptable pot life for epoxy day. It's a demanding equal parts mix that requires greater care in dispensing and mix which is good actually for improving the standard operating procedure for all epoxies. After a couple miss fire mixes, E-330 is good stuff.Make no mistake, the volume technical user has better options but with far more expensive systems. For the periodic user, this might be the best.

My fiancé gifted me with a beautiful jade bracelet from China. When I took a fall and it broke; I was devastated.After much searching and research, I decided to give this product a try.I followed the mixing directions as shown on the package and painted on the epoxy with a small paint brush. I held it together for the 10 minute curing time and allowed it to harden overnight. After 12-18 hours, I put on the bracelet (which is a tight fit and required some severe shoving and possible impact to the repair); no cracking, shifting or breaking. I am so happy to have this piece again.Definitely a great buy!

I used this for years while making jewelry and needing a method besides prongs to hold stones into findings. This stuff works and never seems to deteriorate. Now I'm using it to close all gaps in spider houses so the little critters don't get out and wander to and fro. Get some, worth the money.
