My son was able to shape a replacement body part for a broken action figure and I successfully re-attached the broken plastic knob on the cover of my crock pot, and it has even survived frequent trips through the dishwasher. Some things to be aware of, however: It is much harder to mix the two components together than it looks on TV. This product wouldn't be good for someone with carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis in their hands. Also, if you read the fine print, you'll see that you should wear gloves when you mix it. It can really irritate your skin. The stuff also dries out quickly & becomes useless very easily. In fact, the plastic wrapping on one of the sticks in the package I bought was not sealed tightly, and that entire stick was wasted before I even opened the box for the first time. Be sure to re-wrap unused portions carefully, or they will petrify.

Worked great. I purchased this product on a whim and used it to seal small openings in my home where insects were trying to enter. Worked great.

It is a great wood filler and works excellent for old house dain leaks. I did try to fix a pin hole leak on a plastic garden hose and the product could not withstand the pressure. I also fixed a collapse heel on a cheap pair of sneakers from walmart and the epoxy putty worked great. For the average handyman I feel this is a must.

I've used it to make a handle for my coffee cup. Lasted about a year, then fell off. So I made another and that's still holding, six months. I tried to use it to hold a door handle on, but that broke rather quickly. Too much stress, probably. Also used it to fix a fireplace tools stand. That's still holding, a year and a half now. Easy enough to use, a little bit sticky. Works well enough. I’ve used it to make a handle for my coffee cup. Lasted about a year, then fell off.
