Deluxe Materials Speed Epoxy II

The Deluxe Materials Speed Epoxy II is a high-strength, two-part epoxy adhesive system designed for structural bonding in scale modelling and general hobby construction, where a strong, durable and slightly flexible joint is required.

It is available in different cure speeds (such as 4 min, 20 min, and 60 min versions), allowing modellers to choose between fast handling time or extended working time depending on the task.

About Speed Epoxy II

Speed Epoxy II consists of a resin and hardener that are mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Once combined, it forms a strong adhesive that cures to a hard, clear, and sandable finish.

It is formulated to be forgiving with mixing ratios, making it more user-friendly than many traditional epoxies while still delivering very high strength bonds.

Key Features

✔ Two-part epoxy (resin + hardener)
✔ Very high bond strength for structural use
✔ Cures hard, clear, and sandable
✔ Tolerant of small mixing ratio errors
✔ Available in different cure speeds (fast to slow)
✔ Bonds plastic, metal, wood, resin, and mixed materials
✔ Gap-filling capability for imperfect fits

Why modellers use it

Speed Epoxy II is used when standard plastic cement or super glue is not strong enough. It is especially useful for:

• load-bearing joints

• mixed-material assemblies

• parts with poor fit or gaps

• projects needing long-term durability

It also provides more working time than CA glues, allowing careful positioning before it begins to set.

Typical applications

✔ Aircraft structural assemblies
✔ Armour and heavy vehicle builds
✔ Resin conversion kits
✔ Metal-to-plastic bonding
✔ Large diorama structures
✔ Scratch-building and reinforcement work

Cure speed options

• Fast (around 4 minutes): quick assembly and small parts

• Medium (around 20 minutes): balanced working time and strength

• Slow (around 60 minutes): maximum positioning time and large builds

Each version offers the same strong, sandable finish once fully cured.

Application tips

• Mix equal parts resin and hardener thoroughly

• Apply within working time window

• Hold or clamp parts until initial set

• Allow full curing before sanding or stressing joints

• Clean excess before it hardens for best finish

Skill level

Intermediate to Advanced

Suitable for:

• experienced modellers needing strong structural bonds

• builders working on complex or heavy assemblies

• anyone needing reliable gap-filling strength

Beginners can use it, but benefit from practice due to limited working time once mixed.

Summary

Deluxe Materials Speed Epoxy II is a high-strength, two-part epoxy system designed for demanding modelling applications where durability, gap filling, and long-term structural integrity are essential.
