Default araldite comparisons

You can accelerate Araldite curing time by applying a modest level
of heat. What it does to bond strength is beyond my knowledge.


modest? We used to cure 24 hour alardite in ten minutes with a
hairdryer when it first came out (1963?) . It went translucent and dark
brown, and was MUCH stronger.


I use a Black and Decker paint stripper. No good for paint but
marvellous for de-frosting pipes, drying welding rods, softening
plastics etc.
