Maven Epoxy EA505 GEL is a 2-part epoxy adhesive with a fast set time of 4-6 minutes. When mixed in equal volumes of resin and hardener, it reacts to give a rigid and tough bond. This product is translucent clear, non shrinking and gives fast adhesion. EA 505 is recommended to bond various materials like metals, glass, wood, FRP, concrete, stone and ceramics. It has a set time (working life) of 5 minutes, and handling strength can be achieved in about 15 minutes. Give excellent bond strength on various substrates.
Please Note: These cartridges are designed to work best with a 50ml or 400ml cartridge Dispenser, respectively. We advise you use a 50ml or 400ml Dispenser for all respective cartridges. If you do not have one, please check out our Dispensers, all are excellent products and have our 'it's good' seal of approval.
If you prefer not to use a Dispenser, we have some 50ml kits that include hand tools or caulking dispenser adapters, as pictured, that you can use for fast small jobs. But the 400ml cartridges really need to use a 400ml Dispenser, they're just too big to effectively use without the dispenser.
