Wahoo Glue gives you the strength and reliability of a two-part epoxy with the convenience of a single product that can be easily dispensed with a standard caulking gun. Wahoo Glue is non-sagging and bonds tenaciously to wood, metals, fiberglass, concrete stone, ceramics, and much more. It cures in temperatures as low as 50º F, curing to a solid in 5-6 hours and will take high load in 24 hours. Working time is generally 42 minutes at 72ºF, although working time may be less at warm temperatures and longer in cool temperatures. The Wahoo Glue cartridge holds 190 ml of resin and hardener.
Wahoo Glue is a two-part, pre-thickened epoxy adhesive with properties that make it perfect for many adhesive applications. Compared to other ready-to-dispense glues, Wahoo Glue's physical properties makes it ideal for such applications as stitch and glue construction, fiberglass laminate repair and general bonding. Wahoo Glue can be used with many materials including wood, metals and composites. The long working time with fast thru-cure and unique shear thinning are additional characteristics that contribute to it's ease of use.
Wahoo Glue is more than just a glue. All adhesives rely on good surface "wet out" and saturation to achieve a good bond to the substrate. Wahoo Glue has a viscosity high enough to resist sagging but can still saturate and wet-out a surface without pre coating, because of it's shear thinning properties. This property enables it to wet out light to moderate weight reinforcing fabrics such as fiberglass and carbon fiber. With its quick cure through, Wahoo Glue is ideal for small repair and
reinforcing projects.

Wahoo Glue is also available in convenient 30ml syringes for small jobs.

Wahoo Glue's shear thinning properties allow the viscosity of the adhesive to become lower when a shear force is applied. A shear force is applied when the epoxy is mixed or spread out over a surface, which causes the viscosity of the epoxy to become lower resulting in a "thinner" consistency. Thus, after Wahoo Glue is applied and is no longer being worked, it will start to increase in viscosity and develop a thicker consistency. This shear thinning property enables Wahoo Glue to be easily dispensed through the static mixer and tooled smoothly into a fillet that won't sag during the cure cycle. This shear thinning property also enables Wahoo Glue to be used for
wetting out light to moderate weight reinforcing fabrics such as fiberglass and carbon fiber.
Wahoo Glue's cure profile and long open time provides over an hour of working time in a thin film and an initial cure in just 5-6 hours which is very practical for long or complicated assemblies. The long open time also means that the epoxy will stay workable in the static mixer for 42 minutes.
Whether it is wood, metal, concrete, masonry, fiberglass or any other material, Wahoo Glue is the best choice for durable and lasting adhesion.

A Two part Epoxy in a Single Cartridge
|
Wahoo Glue is packaged in specially designed, self-metering cartridges that provides many useful features including:
- It separates the resin and hardener for long term storage
- It accurately meters the proper 1:1 resin/hardener ratio
- It dispenses the amount desired
- It fits into a standard caulking gun
A unique piston inside the cartridge simultaneously and accurately dispenses the resin and hardener from separate chambers. The molded chambers and passageways accurately control the ratio and prevent the resin and hardener from contacting each other until they are outside the cartridge and pass through the Static Mixer.
