"He's not heavy, he's my brother"

So, the bane of all adhesives. Weight and measurement.

How do we solve it? Easy. Find good inexpensive scales that allow you to accurately deal with your work and your adhesives.

We have several epoxy compounds that need to be weighed out accurately in order for them to work correctly for either bonding or coating your glass.

HXTAL NYL-1, XTR-311 and our new Flex-Tec Anti-Shatter coating are all epoxies that require precise measurement in order to function properly. We now offer a number of digital scales in order to make it easier for you to get these measurements correct.

For HXTAL and XTR, we offer the small Digiweigh DW100AX scale that is perfect for small amount mixtures of either of the epoxy adhesives. It works wonderfully well, is easy to use and has a very small "out of pocket" expense for those of you who do not use adhesives that often.

For those of you who travel or do restoration work on site for clients, we also offer the Ohaus YA pocket travel scale. With the same capacity and readout as the DW100AX, this is a great small scale for measuring out either HXTAL or XTR for on site repairs on pieces that cannot be moved back to your shop.

For the more industrious glass bonder, we now offer the Ohaus Scout Pro scale for those of you who bond glass more often and require something with a little more "day to day" use and abuse. The Scout Pro is a sturdy industrial quality digital scale with a 200g capacity.

For those of you looking for the greatest protection for your installed glass pieces or panels, Flex-Tec is quickly becoming the sought after solution for Anti-shatter protection. Consistent results require correct measurements, so we now also offer the Ohaus Valor scales for larger mixtures. With a weight capacity of 13 pounds, the Valor is the perfect way to get your Flex-tec measurements perfect for the best possible coating bond to your installed glass work.

Just one more way we're trying to make your coldworking an easier task.
