Will this epoxy float in water once cured? Or is there any additive avalible to make it do so?

The general specific gravity of cured epoxy resin is about 1.3. It is heavier than water and will not float. You could include some air bubbles in the casting to achieve more displacement. There are agents like Cabosil that you can add to lower the SG, but they will effect the transparency.

If it has soaked into the wood completely and cured completley polyurethane will still bond to the surface. This product soaks in well only on porus, soft wood. On sounder wood it has a tendecy to just "sit on the surface."

I glued the aluminum base for a T-top to the fiberglass floor of my boat with it. The base is also screwed into the floor for extra support. It would all depend on how big the piece to be glued is as to whether it would hold with the adhesive alone. But, it is super strong.

http://www.magicsculp.com/faq's.htm According to the manufacturers website it is. Once mixed it will even harden and cure underwater.

I'm not sure if it will adhere well to plastic, maybe if you rough up the surface a bit first. They make a special epoxy that is made just for plastic, that might be better in your situation. Enter B00083WZDY in the Amazon search.

It is not a glue -- and glue/adhesive does not stick it very well -- you might take a look at an epoxy, Bob Smith brand is very good.

It's not that type of epoxy. I don't think that using it in that way would work. It's more like a waterproof sealant than a sticky glue.

The tape has superior strength and is water tight. However, the structure of the tape is such that it must be wet in order for the resin within to cure. Further, it has to be wrapped tightly to form a strong bond. There are several epoxy based products on the market that may work for you though.

The product is made for use around ponds and waterfalls. However, I did not use it for that purpose. I used it to seal the underbelly of our RV, as it matched the material used by the manufacturer, as opposed to the cream colored material at the home building supply stores. I would think that if used for the contact with water it would have to cure first. However, urethane products do use moisture vapor in the curing process. Based on the label description, I would say that it could be used in water after it has cured.

I don't know if it will or not, but the repair I used it for... nothing else worked. Then I tried Gorilla Epoxy and it worked and has been working since Christmas time. I would definitely give it a shot. I would recommend keeping pressure on it after you glue it for at least five minutes and then letting it dry for at least 24 hours before you try it. I actually waited 48 hours, but I had such bad luck with other products before, that I allowed extra time, though I think it would have worked. Also - after I put the epoxy inside the area that broke off, I also sealed it on the outside with the epoxy, to just make sure. It is somewhat clear, so I would imaging if you are running water, you wouldn't see that extra layer of epoxy on the outside.

Epoxies need a rough surface to adhere properlu - if you can sand the back of the rhinestones they will be fine. It cannot be removed once it cures, but can be washed off before it hardens. It does not foam (the hour long set time gives time for air bubbles caused by mixing to rise to the surface and pop)

I don't think this glue will dry the way you want it to. What you're looking for is resin that will cure and set clear (http://www.amazon.com/Environmental-Technology-8-Ounce-Casting-Craft/dp/B000XAR0DM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1405442239&sr;=8-1&keywords;=clear+resin+kit). This glue will shrink as the water evaporates; not what you want.

I have used gluvit to seal the rivets and seams in a 1957 vintage Lonestar aluminum boat. The product is excellent and sealed everything. It is known by fishermen who have aluminum boats as their righthand man. It takes about 2 days for it to totally dry in 70 degree weather. It is not as fast a drying time as epoxy. The mixture of the hardener is critical and it can be rolled or brushed on wood. Because of its slow drying time, it may not be what you would want to use on a deck. Good Luck.

The epoxy will seal into porous substances no problem you will have to do it in layers over a couple of days. My only concern would be leaching from the epoxy itself for that you would need the MSDS sheets. If you contact the folks at AreoMarine they will get it for you very friendly group of people.

I'm not sure I'm qualified in this case, because I have only used this epoxy for small projects, but I think this would not be an appropriate adhesive for a project like that - epoxy is super good at filling spaces and cures very hard, but it is extremely brittle once cured, and I would not think that an area which will be frequently wet would be great over the long term. This is such a specific thing that it might be worth emailing the manufacturer, just in case I'm wrong!

Its designed not to bond. You can use it to make a mold of a pvc object without fear of adhesion. What are you trying to do specifically? I may be able to further assist.

Yes. The product is quite thin but is extremely strong. I use it in constructing large model rockets and when I need a thicker product I use Wests Fillers ( Fiberglass,Silica) which do not reduce its strength. Best epoxy I have used!
