Where and How to use 10 Minute Epoxy
Devcon’s 10 Minute Epoxy is intended for use with signs, appliances, furniture repair/assembly, and metalworking projects. Before applying the epoxy, any build-up of grease, oil or dirt should be wiped away from the surface, using a solvent when necessary. Next, mix the two components at a ratio of 1:1 and begin with the application process.

Application Guidelines
- Apply the mixed epoxy directly to one surface in a uniform bead
- Assemble with the mating part within the recommended working time (10 minutes)
- Firmly apply pressure between mating parts to minimize any gaps and ensure good contact
*For large gaps, apply the epoxy to both surfaces and spread to cover the entire area or follow a bead pattern that flows throughout the joint.
