I've been using JBWeld and have been happy with the results;
not happy that the tubes seem impossible to reseal, completely.

Any other products with which folks have had success?

Since epoxy is a 2 part system, it keeps pretty well without being
totally sealed and screwing the cap on is usually enough. How long
would you plan on storing it?


It "keeps" well enough (as in, retains it's effectiveness).
It just doesn't "stay inside" the container (toothpaste-style
tubes). Particularly the hardener.

Tubes were opened a little less than a month ago. Hardener
is noticeably "soiled" on the outside (yes, I put the caps on
tight).

Just keep them in a zip bag if it bothers you. I keep mine in an Akro
Bin along with other adhesives.


Why not find another vendor who makes a product that DOESN'T leave
a mess on the tube, wherever it's stored *and* your hands when you
use it?
