Epoxy Structural Adhesives
Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. They work especially well on metals. For putty adhesives, slice off the required amount, then knead it together to form a moldable adhesive.

Metal-Reinforced Epoxy Structural Adhesives
These machinable epoxies are mixed with steel, but won’t rust, so they can be used to repair cracks and threaded holes. The strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives, epoxies work especially well on metals. Slice off your required amount, then knead it together to form a moldable adhesive.

Optically Clear Epoxy Structural Adhesives
For invisible bond lines, these adhesives dry clear. Epoxies are the strongest and most weather- and chemical-resistant structural adhesives. Choose an epoxy that hardens quickly for fast repairs, or one that hardens slowly to allow more time for positioning.
