I bought this product for one specific purpose, to attach wires and brackets to a brick wall for vine and trellis support. In the video presentation for this product it shows attaching shelving brackets to a brick wall and it supports 350 lbs. Reality, it supports nothing! After curing for over 24 hours, the slightest pressure causes immediate failure of the bond. This may be good for temporary filling of holes, but in no way will replace a two-part liquid epoxy or a product like JB Weld.

Like others here, I had seen the numeous commercials on this product and took a chance and purchased some ( Not from Amazon ) So far I used one tube of this product and have not been impressed at all.

I tried it on a couple of projects around the house. I did manage to patch a crack in some plastic on a carpet cleaning machine. Being a bit of a home handyman, I frequently use various filler and repair products and found the so called Might Putty almost next to useless. Even after curing for several days, the patch I did on the plastic was not very hard - more the consistancy of a childs play dough when hardened and it did tend to crumble a bit. Nothing like any of the other epoxy type products I have used in the past which upon curing turn rock hard.

A few days later, I tried the remaining half of the tube to use as a seal on a leaking plumbing fixture as I had seen this use on one of the commercials for this item. It should be noted no water was coming from it and I dried the fixture and cleaned up the surface prior to using the putty. I found in this case the putty would not even stick to the surface I was applying it to and it just fell off and onto the floor.

Both times I used this product I followed the instructions quite closely especially the second time around after the poor performance of the first repair job. I did this to insure I had properly mixed the compounds.

Bottom line is I found the product nothing like as advertised and about the only use I can see it for would be to patch small holes in a wall much like a drywall putty. Hoefully now stuck with 5 more sticks of this product I will find a few holes to patch... lol - Would I buy it again? Not likely as I found it pretty much a total waste of money.

This stuff sucks. at first i tried it on a picture frame (the one with lots of frames stuck together, from walmart) thought it worked, so i went and tried to put a garden hose holder on to our brick wall, - no garden hose attached yet. it wouldnt even stick with me putting alot of pressure on it i stuck a heavy trash can against it hoping it would just need some time to bond. but nope hours later and the damn thing just fell off. oh and back to that picture frame its been sitting in a box for about a week now and i decided to hang it, and by the way the part that i fixed is not a part that has any pressure on it its the bottom of the frame, i placed ONE PICTURE IN THERE NO GLASS WOOD JUST THE PAPER AND IT FELL OFF. WASTE OF MONEY

Problems!

1- The tubes are half the size shown. Some of the vendors listed will only ship three tubes, despite product description that says six. Many comparable products are cheaper/better (JB Weld).

2- The epoxy is brittle when cured, particularly when set thin (less than 0.5 inch). I tried to repair a plastic part, and the epoxy held for about 2 days before crumbling.

3- Heat and moisture will break the adhesive bond after the product cures. It really can't be used for plumbing repairs, or coffee cups, or outside to hold anything up (yet alone 350lbs).

Save your money.

I've seen the negative reviews on this and they puzzle me. I have used this for so many different things and been well pleased. They only negative I have had is I had it put up my outdoor flagpole and it held metal to brick for 2 years, then it fell off and I couldn't get it to stick again. I tend to think it must lose some power over time. But for the price it is still worth it.

I have a plant hanger metal to brick it has kept up over two years and still rock strong outside.

Give it a try what do you have to lose? Amazon has a great return policy. Also make sure you kneed it fully before use until it is uniform in color.

I have been using this product for years, under several different names, from different sources and in very many different applications. I am at a loss to explain the negative reviews. When used as directed the product has never failed to perform as advertized and according to the manufacturing specifications.

I used it for a rusted hole in my above ground pool. It worked ok to seal and it is very hard. I glued a piece of wood together and it came apart. My son tried to bond some plastic on his car and it did not work so we used JB Weld.

I found this product does what it claims but it is really difficult to mix together. Maybe in the warmth of the summer it may prove to be softer and more pliable.

I really had high hopes for Mighty Putty, but it sadly did not perform as well as I hoped and expected.

The basic idea is very simple, you cut the amount you want off the roll and kneed it until it becomes a uniform color. You apply this to the items to be joined/repaired and in 24 hours you are supposed to get a very tight bond. With the exception of cracked planter, all of my other attempts to use mighty putty failed. I followed the directions exactly and could not get this stuff to work correctly.

A bit disapointing, not recommended.

I'm a big fan of epoxy putty, and I figured that Mighty Putty was just a "as seen on tv" version of the generic Home Depot type epoxy putties. I was wrong. I'm not sure how you can screw up epoxy putty, but Mighty Putty managed to do just that.

I would highly recommend CRC 14070 Minute Mend Epoxy Putty Stick instead.
