You can accelerate Araldite curing time by applying a modest level of heat.


When I was a kid, I broke a leg off a table. I mixed up some Cascamite
(wonderful stuff), and glued it back together. Only problem, parents
coming back in 3 hours.

I put the heating on full, and put every electric fire in my bedroom
(which also had the hot water tank in it). I got the temperature above
125 degrees Fahrenheit (50 Celsius) - the greenhouse thermometer ran
out at that point.

Glue was set in 2 hours (normally took 24), parents never knew.
