  • give me a video showing how to apply Epoxy on the countertop 

  • @klickkzam Sure what time today do you need it? :-/

  • Epoxy is a thermosetting resin that cures with heat. So why didnt he use heat to make it harden?

  • @fbf1451 Because it's not needed. Who in the world told you that you need heat to make epoxy cure? There are many epoxies that cure and harden at room temperature. Be careful about spreading false information.

  • im a drummer, and i have a cracked crash cymbal, i read that you can put epoxy in the crack and bake it in a 200 degree oven, then let the cymbal cool for a day. do you think it would really hold up?

  • @louiebarletta42 It will not work indeed. You want to fix that cymbal? It needs to be welded, ground and then retuned.

  • Will it hold my bumpers to my car?? I got a 1987 ford escort!

  • how hard is it when it dry? what kind of epoxy u prefer when repairing a guitar? or covering the big crack part of the wood? the paste epoxy or the gorilla epoxy?

  • I use a cheep paper note pad and ice cream sticks to mix epoxy. Its very clean.

  • Guaranteed way to get the lid off an old paint tin is to use a pair of pliers to grip the outer rim and leaver it up as you would with a screwdriver. Gripping the rim dramatically increases the leverage. Of course this destroys the lid, but its safe, quick and it works.

  • @louiebarletta42 Don't try and fix a symbol. Even a successful weld will change its sound.

  • @fbf1451 When you mix both parts of the epoxy, the chemical reaction generates its own heat.
