Two Part Epoxy

[dedeadeye]

I am looking for pourable two part aluminum or steel epoxy. Bisonite was the very best back in the day as it set up time was about 15-20 minutes. Is it still available or something similar?
Thank you, Roger Gower

Devcon Liquid Steel Epoxy....I use it to fill recoil lug mortises and any other "filling" requirement where air pockets could present a problem.

I never used the stuff. Do you still have to apply a release agent?

Yes

Devcon products have a good variety.

I use Marine-tex as it is said to shrink less over time( slightly less than Devcon) and it comes in smaller portions like $22 vs $80 for Devcon, I end up losing half of the Devcon because it goes bad sitting on the shelf.

I don't beleive Devcon or MarineTex are "pourable". JB Weld is a good product.

Are there different types of JB Weld? Or is there just one JB Weld?

There are several different types of J B Weld . Look for the package that has the Red and Black tubes inside . The Black tube says "STEEL" on the lower area , and the Red tube says "Hardner" . I've done Pillars , Full Bedding and Fore-arm weighting with this product . Nothing has come apart in over Five years in our Desert heat . If it does shrink , I've never noticed it . Mix it to a light , to medium grey color .

I use this shit for everything. It hardens like you wouldn’t believe and it is so strong that I’ve yet to find something it won’t bond. Just let it fully cure for 2-3 days (ignore the 10-12 hours bullshit on the label). If you can leave a mark in it with your fingernail then it isn’t cured fully.

Devcon has a liquid aluminum or a liquid steel that is pourable but it will take longer than 15-20 min to set up.
