Epoxy Structural Adhesives
Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They work especially well on metals.
Two-part epoxies must be mixed. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
Use cartridges with a dispensing gun and mixer nozzle to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesives.
1838, 11C, and 1C meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, so they produce almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics and optics, even in a vacuum.
DP110, 14310, 14260, and 305-1/2 bond dissimilar materials.
305-1/2 and 310A/B are solvent-free.
Epoxy 7524A161 is solvent-free. It can be softened in warm water if the contents of the tube have hardened.

Fuel-Resistant Surface Fillers
Also known as sloshing compounds, these two-part epoxies bond to rough and rusty surfaces in fuel tanks to repair leaks and prevent further corrosion. They withstand permanent immersion in fuel, oil, and harsh solvents. Use them with metal, plastic, and fiberglass tanks. Mix the smaller can with the bigger one and pour into your fuel tank. Rotate the tank to coat the interior and dump out any excess. Allow to cure overnight. Size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
1.5-pint container can treat a 10-gallon fuel tank. 3-pint container can treat a 20-gallon fuel tank.
