Beginner’s Guide To Resin Art

Resin art uses epoxy resin to create an artistic piece, whether with a mold, on a canvas (such as when one would create a pour painting piece), or even protect a completed artwork. This craft is possible because the resin is mixed with a hardener, inducing a chemical reaction that will cause the resin to […]

What is Epoxy Putty Stick?

Epoxy putty refers to a group of room-temperature-hardening substances used as space-filling adhesives. They are usually cylindrical tubes that combine two parts – a cylindrical tube of hardener surrounded by another larger cylindrical tube of epoxy resin. Why design it like that? So that the hardener, which when exposed to air goes bad, is protected […]

Threadlockers Vs. Mechanical Fasteners

The Number One cause of catastrophic equipment failure is “Vibration“. Mechanical fasteners tend to loosen with vibration. This causes reliability issues & unscheduled downtime. Anaerobic Threadlocking Adhesives fill gaps between the threads and cure to create a shock-proof, vibration proof assembly. Another issue is “Corrosion“. Because of this, it becomes difficult to disassemble the fasteners […]
