System Three G-2 Epoxy Adhesive, 1.5 Gallon Kit

If you need stuff to be stuck together, skip over system two, and don’t go quite as far as system four, cuz System Three nailed it.

I wanted to brace a speaker cabinet with strips of a hard wood and selected lignum vitae, unaware of how oily and difficult to glue this wood is. Online research led to reports of success with System Three G-2 epoxy adhesive, so I gave it a go. I sanded the wood first then wiped it a few times with mineral spirits before gluing. The epoxy is fairly thin, and cures slowly. The result, though, is an excellent bond.

Excellent epoxy but product accessory mismatch. Dispensing nozzles were identical diameter, the hardener part B needs a smaller diameter thread as shown in photos. Other than that, no issues. Would be 5 stars except for that.

So far so good gluing up teak. You still need to clean surfaces with acetone but it makes for a strong bond on oily woods, much better than Titebond wood glue. Love the long working time but it takes forever to cure. Definitely worth the money for its intended use.

Product has a long set time as described on product. Worked well on 100 year old stock repair.

An extended working time eh? And don’t clamp too tightly or you’ll have squeeze out… Okay.. That gives your work more time to move around though. It’s a few hours later since I joined some Ipe and it’s still in a gel state. This stuff suspiciously acts like a standard two part regular epoxy that someone tinted the one part with a bit of amber. At about 100X the cost.. I’m gonna do some testing with this but so far not impressed. It’s acting exactly like regular boat epoxy. This stuff better be absolutely bulletproof to justify the price and small bottles.
