Hot Glue Sticks

When heated, these glue sticks melt and quickly begin to harden. Use them to seal packaging and form other low- to medium-strength bonds.

Adhesives that take longer to harden are suited for applications that require some repositioning, because the longer open times allow for more adjustment. For high-volume applications, adhesives with a lower viscosity flow faster than other hot-melt adhesives.

Quick-Set Epoxy Structural Adhesives

Syringe

For quick repairs, these epoxies begin to harden in six minutes or less. Epoxies are the strongest and most chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They bond especially well on metal.

These adhesives come in two parts that need to be mixed. The container size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Thick Liquid—Flow into narrower gaps than gels and pastes, but thick enough to stay put on uneven surfaces.

Machinable Epoxy Structural Adhesives

Stick

Restore cracked and hole-filled metal workpieces back to usable form with these epoxies. Once cured, you can drill precise holes, tap strong threads, and sand and file the adhesives to tight dimensions. They're steel filled for strength but won't rust.

Epoxies are the strongest and most chemical-resistant adhesives. They bond especially well on metal.

These adhesives come in two parts that need to be mixed. The container size listed is the combined total of the two parts.

Continuous Duty	Intermittent Duty

Don't be tethered by a cord—take these guns where they're needed.

Continuous Duty—Continuous duty guns use electric or battery power to dispense glue. Use a battery adapter (sold separately) with your DeWalt, Makita, or Milwaukee batteries.

Intermittent Duty—Intermittent duty guns dispense glue for up to 3 minutes per charge.
