Exactly as described
I used this epoxy for knife making which is perfect. When cured it is not a brittle as other 2 part epoxy glues on the marks. It is extremely strong and grabs well to any surface, yes it is a little more expensive than other brands but you get what you pay for.

Excellent but expensive
This is a very good product and for some applications worth the expense, I would reserve the use for projects that will be subject to extreme shock or impact but use a less expensive adhesive for less critical situations.

Not a single failure so far
Purchased this in 2015 to epoxy together the handle materials on knives. Had absolutely no issues with delamination to date, both on knives and other projects and couldn't rate it any higher. It was designed for repairing boats so has a little more flexibility to it than other epoxies when cured, and can be applied underwater too so long as the surfaces are clean. For best results I blast the joining areas with 80 grit aluminium oxide but you could get away with giving it a thorough hand sanding.The hardener is thicker than the resin, so on a particularly cold day it would be worth warming up the bottle. Squeezing the hardener bottle hard made the white printed text rub off all over my hands and it went everywhere. Needless to say it was a pain to clean up. This didn't happen with the resin bottle however, so maybe it was just bad conditions to blame.The only downside I can really mention about the epoxy itself if you consider it to be one is that it has an amber colour and isn't clear. For most situations this isn't a problem.Overall a highly recommended product.

Tough Stuff
Apparently the best epoxy for the knifemaker. I've used it with a lot of success. it does darken slightly as it drys so make sure to wipe off any excess with alcohol and kitchen roll or something otherwise it may stain wood. Tried using a tiny amount as a temporary bond, tuned out to be a permanent one. Very tough stuff and is supposed to do well under shock, expansion and contraction.
