G/flex is a two-part, toughened epoxy that can make structural bonds which absorb the stress of expansion, contraction, shock, and vibration. This epoxy system was formulated for high elongation with an ultimate elongation of around 30%. The increase in elongation and lower modulus (stiffness) that it provides equates to better adhesion to substrates. This helps it resist a peel or delamination from starting. This is an excellent all-around epoxy for knife making tasks.
G/flex has a 1:1 mix ratio by volume for easy measuring. It’s also ideal for bonding dissimilar materials. The liquid version, G/flex 650, has a consistency similar to honey. With proper application techniques,it will bond to wet/damp substrates and dense or oily woods like teak and oak.
The lowest cure temperature for G/flex Epoxy is 40°F (4°C). This epoxy provides about 45 minutes of working time at 72°F (22°C). G/flex will adhere to most plastics with proper surface preparation.
