Which should you choose for cure time?

  • - Both products list the same baseline full cure time of 24h, so temperature and humidity may be the deciding factors.
  • - Flex Glue allows the lower minimum application temperature (0°F).
  • - Flex Glue gives more working time before assembly pressure or tooling becomes urgent.
  • - Watch for amine blush risk in humid epoxy work.

Flex Glue has a 24h full cure time with a 10-minute open time.

Epoxy Instant Mix 5 Minute has a 24h full cure time with a 7-minute open time. Watch for amine blush in humid conditions.
