#araldite — Public Fediverse posts

After using the last of my #araldite I checked the price at Woolies, Bunnings, and Coles.

Woolies and Bunnings were within cents of each other, but #Coles - 🤯

What do people actually call the Selleys 2-part glue:

After #Araldite being part of my life for about 50 years, I've just realised that you can get the last even mix out of mismatched tubes by cutting the joining bit at the top of the plunger, making 2 separately controllable plungers.
🤦‍♂️

anyone can tell me why bog standard #Araldite #epoxy shouldn't work to a high gloss finish?

i'd rather not buy a liter of epoxy if all i need is three drops of Araldite / Locktite.

but i need it to polish well to a high shine #resin #woodwork
