EPOXY

G/flex is a tough, resilient epoxy, engineered for superior adhesion to wood—resinous woods, hardwoods, exotic woods, even damp wood. G/flex is toughened to make structural bonds that absorb the stresses of expansion and contraction, shock and vibration. And if you are bonding wood to something else, G/flex has excellent adhesion to metals, plastics, fiberglass, masonry and other dissimilar materials.

G/flex is available as a versatile, easily-modified liquid or a convenient pre-thickened adhesive, both with a simple 1:1 mix ratio. No matter what the species, G/flex is the solution to your toughest wood gluing problems.
