3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy DP125 is a low odor, two-part epoxy structural adhesive that creates strong and flexible bonds on metal, ceramics and many plastics where coefficients of thermal expansion are a consideration. This versatile adhesive can be used in joining, gluing and structural bonding in appliance, general industrial, transportation and signage segments. It applies easily and flows smoothly for controlled dispensing that minimizes dripping, running and migration. The 1:1 mix ratio is ideal for bulk mixing, and with 25 minutes of work-life, there's ample opportunity to reposition. This adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 150 minutes and is fully cured in 7 days at 72 °F (22 °C). When using this, or other Duo-Pak (DP) size adhesives, rely on 3M Applicators for convenient and accurate metering, mixing, and dispensing.
When using a Duo-Pak (DP) size adhesive, rely on 3M dispensing equipment for convenient and accurate metering, mixing and dispensing.
Flexible for Higher Peel Strength and Better Vibration Resistance
Our 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP125 Translucent Clear is a versatile, medium viscosity, epoxy adhesive that pours easily with minimal dripping, running and migration that will flow smoothly for a controlled, accurate dispensing. Its flexibility makes it ideal for applications involving dissimilar surfaces, where coefficients of thermal expansion are a consideration, for example when bonding glass to metals.
Recommended Applications
- General attachment applications in a variety of industries
- Replace 5 minute epoxy for improved performance and more positioning time
25 Minute Work Life with Handling Strength in Approximately 150 Minutes
The 1:1 mix ratio for our 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP125 Translucent Clear is ideal with bulk mixing and with a 25-minute work life there's some opportunity for repositioning to keep projects on track. The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 150 minutes and is fully cured in 7 days (at 72°F/22°C).

Please Note: These cartridges are designed to work best with a 50ml cartridge Dispenser. This 3M cartridge will fit into any standard ‘Square-Back’ Dispenser. It is strongly advise you use a 50ml Dispenser for this cartridge.
If you do not have one one of these dispensers, please check out some of the other product options to the right for this DP-100 adhesive. We do sell this as a kit with an included Dispenser. Also, separately, the 50ml Dispenser is a great applicator for this adhesive.
Product Name: 3M Scotch-Weld DP125 Translucent Clear Flexible Temp Resistant 25-Minute Set Epoxy
3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP125 Translucent is the clear, unfilled version of the DP125 family. Like its gray counterpart, it is a flexible, two-part structural epoxy that provides tough, durable bonds. However, because it lacks the fillers found in the gray version, it flows more easily (lower viscosity) and cures to a translucent finish, making it ideal for applications where the bond line needs to be less visible or where "wetting out" a surface is important.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding glass to metal or plastic where a visible gray line would be unsightly.
- Potting electronics where visual inspection of the internal components is necessary.
- General assembly of translucent plastics or clear materials.
- Applications requiring a thinner adhesive that can flow into smaller gaps than the gray version.
- Bonding components subject to vibration and thermal cycling.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Electronics (Potting, sealing, component bonding)
- Transportation (Interior trim, lighting assemblies)
- Signage (Bonding clear acrylics or polycarbonate)
- General Industrial
- Construction (Glass bonding)
Special and Unique Features
- Translucency: Cures clear/translucent, allowing for aesthetic blending with materials.
- Flexibility: Excellent resistance to peeling, shock, and vibration.
- Medium-Low Viscosity: Flows more readily than the Gray version, helping it wet out surfaces and fill tighter voids.
- Extended Work Life: 25-minute open time allows for precise positioning of parts.
- Non-Corrosive: Safe for use on copper and other sensitive metals in electronics.
Key Properties
- Base: Epoxy
- Color: Translucent (Clear/Amber tint)
- Viscosity: Medium-Low (approx. 15,000 cP mixed) - *Flows easier than the Gray version.*
- Mix Ratio: 1:1 by volume
- Hardness: Flexible (~55-60 Shore D)
- Shear Strength: ~2,500 psi (Slightly lower than the Gray version due to lack of fillers)
Materials Bonded
- Glass and Ceramics (Excellent due to flexibility)
- Metals (Aluminum, Steel, Copper)
- Plastics (ABS, PVC, Polycarbonate, Composites)
- Wood
Cure Information
- Work Life: 25 minutes at 73°F (23°C).
- Handling Strength: Approximately 2.5 hours.
- Full Cure: 7 days.
Known backups / known substitutes for this product
- 3M Scotch-Weld DP110 Translucent (Faster 10-minute set, similar flexibility)
- 3M Scotch-Weld DP100 Plus (Clear, very flexible, much faster 4-minute set)
- Infinity Bond EP 420 Clear
Comparison Note
- While **DP125 Gray** and **DP125 Translucent** are chemically similar, the Translucent version is **thinner** (lower viscosity) and has slightly lower shear strength because it lacks the reinforcing fillers of the Gray version. Choose Translucent when aesthetics (clarity) or flow are the priority; choose Gray when maximum strength and gap-filling (non-sag) are the priority.
