EA-40™
EA-40™
*NOTE: Product Packaging May Vary
EA-40™ Clear Amber Epoxy is an unfilled low-viscosity epoxy adhesive that can be spread easily in thin films that are almost transparent after curing. EA-40™ has a long pot life and cures in 24 hours at room temperature to provide good mechanical and electrical properties. Mix ratio is 1:1 by volume. When mixed 2A:1B by volume, EA-40™ will achieve greater heat resistance and improved physical properties. EA-40™ is versatile and can be used for many different assembly and repair applications ranging from electrical potting to jewelry assembly to repairing plumbing fixtures. Bow makers have come to know EA-40™ as a tremendous laminating resin. EA-40™ provides highly moisture resistant bonds meeting the performance requirements for Federal Specification MMM-A-188, Type III.

I've used it for years on my wood bows and cure it at 85 degrees over night and never had a failure of the glue joint.
I'd imagine the glass bow guys like a little hotter temps though.

I have never heated Smooth On to more than 125-130 F and have never used that gradual thing.

I was just reading the ea-40 directions and it said to do a graduated increase in temp. Didn't follow to exactly as it said to take to 185. In dont think any of us do that.
