Glass to Metal Epoxy

For years we've had customers ask us what the best adhesive is for gluing glass to metal. For years, that answer has been HXTAL. And while HXTAL still is the best overall epoxy for most all your bonding needs, sometimes you just need something that cures quickly, bonds fast and holds well. For small metal to glass items, HXTAL is just overkill and the lengthy cure time can be problematic if you have to bond 100 metal hangers in an afternoon.

Well, we're happy to say, we've found the solution for all your glass to metal bonding needs. 3M's DP105 is a water clear epoxy formulated specifically to bond glass to metal, quickly and efficiently. DP105 will cure in roughly 5 minutes after application, so it's super easy to bond your glass and metal together very quickly and move on to the next piece. It will remain water clear for the life of the epoxy so you don't have to worry about any unsightly yellowing of your joint and it has superior bond strength, so you don't have to worry about your metal pieces "popping" off the glass.

We have the DP105 epoxy available in 1.7oz Duo Packs immediately, along with a very handy applicator that can be used over and over again and we also carry some very efficient mixing nozzles that allow for perfectly mixed epoxy to be ejected from the applicator saving you time and trouble in your applications.

We think you'll be very impressed with this newest adhesive addition to our lineup.

We Have a Winner!

Congratulations are in order for Joni Burleson of Glasscentricity out in Denver, CO.

She was the winner of our 1 pound kit of HXTAL from all the entries we received at GAS Corning.

Joni said that she's quite excited to try out some new ideas and products.

We thought it was great to see so many people at GAS this year and so much excitement in the glass community. We really enjoyed seeing everyone and speaking with many of you.

Congratulations again to Joni and thanks for everyone who participated.

We're back...

But did our minds come back with us?
Probably.
Most likely they're packed away in all the boxes that currently litter our floor.
If you're having trouble reaching us please be patient as we've just returned from both GAS in Corning NY and BeCon in Portland OR.
We'll get ourselves straightened out this week though.

Thanks to everyone who dropped by to say hello to us at both shows. We love to see you and hear what you're doing. It's always great to be able to everyone in person.

GAS Corning

So we're here in Corning at the annual GAS conference. Set up in booth 8 & 9 in the tech display. Drop by and see us if you're here. If you're not here, you should consider attending one sometime in the future. It's a great way to learn, experiment and hobnob with glass artists from around the world.

We'll try to post more from the tech display later today.
