1.0 out of 5 stars doesn't work!, February 18, 2008

Followed the directions carefully to hang a small towel bar just like the picture shows on the package. Within 5 minutes everything crashed to the floor. So I started over, even taped the towel bar in place for extra support. Waited 24 hours to remove the tape, instant crash to the floor. This stuff doesn't work, AND they give you one glove, not 2, for those of us with sensitive skin. It is hard to knead with just one hand.

**Really requires surface prep and tack time**

I too was disappointed with my first usage of this product, finding that it didn't bond at all, but didn't give up and after re-reading the directions and following TO THE LETTER, I am very pleased with the results I have gotten. I've used this stuff for ALL KINDS of things since - crafts and improvised solutions. When used properly it is strong enough to hold together my car's cracked front bumper and after sanding and painting is undetectable. I will concede that it takes a bit of practice to work with, but it has proved very versatile and useful enough that I want to always have at least one tube of the stuff in the tool kit at all times.

For those who are having troubles, I have found that in order for the stuff to adhere well it really requires the surfaces to be roughened so that it can grip well - its a no-go on anything smooth.

Also, the step of "working it in" to the surface to be bonded is very important. This is not a set-it/forget it product, as it takes a couple of minutes to realy get tacky at all enough to even stick, which means that it rubs off the part you just rubbed on when trying to push it into place, but then once it starts to grab it becomes a little easier to work with. You will know that activation has begun and time is short when the product begins to warm slightly, so make sure to be ready before starting or it will harden before you finish.

I have also discovered it is easiest to work with in very thin slices of the "log" that are evenly cut to ensure a proper mix - I will start a tube by slicing it like a salami with a razor blade into pieces no thicker than a 1/4 inch (often smaller)as this speeds activation and is easier to work. Also make sure the tube stays well sealed (I re-wrap the product in cellophane in the tube before closing) as this is much more effective when not dried out at all.

There is a grey plumbers epoxy putty that is very similar and a little softer, which I prefer to use on wet projects, but the Mighty Putty has thus far proved mighty useful after getting to know it a bit.

Follow up/Update (Jan. 2012):

Glad to see some of you have found the review helpful! Just wanted to state that its been a couple years since the initial write-up and I still make sure to have a tube in the tool chest, one in the car, and one in the desk drawer. Its really handy to have for the darndest things like stripped plastic knobs and loose fittings. I've even molded replacement parts out of the stuff for all sorts of things to wide and varied to cover because it cures quickly enough that most things can be used rather immediately. (JB weld is no longer for me as it is much too messy and takes too long to harden.)

Its become the first thing I look to for most repairs that aren't served by superglue or hotglue as an option. The only other thing I use as much is probably the clear drying liquid epoxy resin that sets in 5 minutes for things that need a more pourable repair.

I can't use gloves with it though since it seems to just stick to them instead of itself. I knead it with the bare hands so it doesn't make a huge mess, and a little water keeps it from sticking to me and serves to smooth also. All told, I stand by the original 5 stars I gave it a couple years ago as it is inexpensive and effective. I'm sure if you're an improviser like me, you will find it just as indespensible as duct tape.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mighty poop, February 5, 2008

The company that sent it was good. It came on time etc. The product is not a new product as the TV add would make it seem. There are other brands on the market at Ace etc. just as good and they work the same. By the time you get the stuff mixed your arthritis is starting to act up.
