    With excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals, these epoxies maintain bonds in tough conditions.
    Epoxies are the strongest and most chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They bond especially well on metal. Choose an adhesive that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.
    These adhesives come in two parts that need to be mixed. The container size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
    Model Number 14415—Resist acids and oils.
    Cartridge—To mix and dispense these adhesives, you'll need a mixer nozzle and dispensing gun.
