    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.
    7524A161 is solvent free. If the adhesive hardens in the tube, soften in warm water before dispensing.
    Putty—Slice off a chunk and mold it into the shape you need.

    Syringe

    Take your time positioning parts—these epoxies remain adjustable for at least 90 minutes before setting. 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.
    Paste—Thicker than liquid adhesives but still spreadable—good for filling gaps and covering surfaces.

    Urethanes are the most flexible adhesives, so they bond dissimilar materials and damp vibration.
    Some of 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.
