® The shelf of adhesives in your workshop should rival, for variety, the cosmetics shelf in your bathroom. Necessity is the mother of invention in both fields, adhesives and cosmet1cs. The development of a wide range of plastic materials has created a need for adhesives to repair them in this age of high labor costs which has produced the Doâ€"Itâ€" Yourself revolution. Epoxy glue is a good example of a new adhesive that has such diversity around the house that you will find it as indispensable as WDâ€"40 in providing solutions to an increasing number of problems. For example, epoxy produces an extremely durable bond that is stronger than just about all the materials it can adhere to. It is waterproof, transparent and, unlike a lot of glues, it does not rely on a perfect fit to the joined parts for its strength. Epoxy, because it is so strong itself, can fill holes or gaps and maintain the same strength as it would if the fit were perfect. This particular quality puts it at the top of the list for the novice doâ€"itâ€"yourselfer. In addition, it needs no clamps to provide presâ€" sure on the joint â€" a vital part of some adheâ€" sives. Epoxy always comes in two separate containers: one is resin and the other is hardener.

The molecules of the resin bond with those of the hardener and form new and larger molecules. This process can be rather fast (three minutes) or prolonged, dependâ€" ing on the requirements of the job and the type you choose. . The hardener and the resin are joined in equal amounts and mixed thoroughly for 10 seconds or so and then applied to the job. You will know when the available work time is up because the mixture will get stiff and sticky and harden soon after. After it sets, it goes into a curing period which could last several days depending on the type you have chosen for the particular job at hand. Curing time is labelled on the package and it is important to read it carefully because the hardness of the epoxy is not an indication of its completed curing period. fenced garden. 5 pc. master ensuite.

They also come as a putty that can be worked up by kneading the two pieces in your hand. This putty can be used as an immediate repair for a leaking pipe that needs temporary sealing. There is also an excellent wood repair epoxy that can replace rotted wood by bonding to the original piece that was partly rotted away. Check it out. Biodegradability is something we do not want in the wood we build things with. When we invest time and effort into creâ€" ations made of wood, we want them to last and be impervious to the ravages of time and the elements. Science is still looking for the perfect wood preservative simply because wood is biodegradable â€" that new buzz word that warms the heart of every environmentalist. Some woods, like cedar and redwood, have builtâ€"in resins and oils which make them superior in the battle against water, fungi, and insects. But even they succumb eventually. Most woods need a lot of help from man to last, especially when exposed to the eleâ€" ments. The first line of defense is a waterâ€" proof coating which protects wood from its createst enemyv. water. | REPAVMIEX CHRISTOPHER INVIDIATA Sales Rep. CHRISTOPHER INVIDIATA Sales Rep.

ANN‘S MODEL Insects and fungi work closely with water to attack wood and even though we do have substances that repel water and insects, they are generally repellant to humans as well, e.g. creosote. The current leader among preservatives has achieved great popularity because of the insatiable demand by consumers across North America to have Californiaâ€"style decks. Unfortunately, most of us have neither the money or even the access to California redwood (which makes those decks so appealing). Enter the ubiquitous green presâ€" sure treated lumber. It‘s great selling point was that it was cheap, available, and resisted insects and rot. Unfortunately, the main reason it was cheap was that it consisted, for the most part, of a very low grade of lumber that would have very little appeal untreated. People who handle it show respect for the arsenic that is part of the residue by wearing gloves and respirators. A recent article in The Economist reports that progress is being made on developing a substitute for the green stuff, chromated copper arsenate (CCA). The hopeful chemical is boric acid which has long been known to be a wood preservative. It is environmentally safe (See ‘Public‘ page 23) ter or igw&lm Rent out floor park, big yard.
