West System Six10 is a thickened epoxy adhesive that combines the strength and reliability of a two-part epoxy with the easy to use convenience of a single part formula. Cartridges feature mixing tips that ensure the right ratio of resin and hardener is automatically mixed upon application. Easy to apply with a standard caulking gun, Six10's unique non sagging formula lets this epoxy bond tenaciously to wood, metals, fiberglass, and concrete. Colorless resin and hardener. Are you working on your boat or project after work or on the weekend? Not having to mix resin and hardener beforehand saves time. Are you working overhead, on vertical surfaces, or tight spaces? This thick adhesive won't cause problems with sagging or runoff. Additional static mixing tips can be purchased separately.

Comments about WEST System WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:

I ran a single bead of this glue around the transom frame and when I got back to the start point the color was not the same. In fact the color changed through out the beads length. I should have stopped but thinking it would be OK I applied the plywood. Three weeks later the glue in some areas is still not hard. Lucky that these are above the water line. Yes I did waste the first few inches into a cup.

Jamestown Distributors Response: We’re very sorry for the problem you experienced using our Six-10 Adhesive. We received one other similar complaint from a customer several months back. Because we were able to speak with him we identified that the problem was caused by a missing baffle inside the mixing tip. We’re fairly certain this is what caused your Six-10 to not cure. Without the baffle, the resin and hardener will not cure properly. To minimize the chance of it happening again, we recently changed the color of the mixing baffles from clear plastic to blue. That way our workers can easily verify that the mixing wand is inside each mixing tip (made of clear plastic) and are properly installed when assembling the Six-10 tubes. Please contact Tom Pawlak in our tech department (866-937-8797) and we would be happy to make appropriate reparations for your problem. Thanks
 
Bonding and filleting made easy

Bottom Line:

Comments about WEST System WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:

As an amateur builder, working on evenings and weekends, Six10 is a timesaver. Mixing is limited to unthickened wet out. I can fly with the cartridges, laying the thickened epoxy wherever I want, following up with shaping and filleting. Also holds in situations where my mixes might have run out. I also use it in scarfs to dam the edges of the scarf and then feed more unthickened epoxy (which is stronger) from the top. That's a win-win.

Be warned about actual quantity supplied
By preventec47 from Atlanta, GA on 10/21/2010
Pros:
Very strong epoxy, Works Terrifically
Cons:
1 ounce wasted in tip, Expensive for the QTY
Best Uses:
Verticle surfaces are OK, When convenience needed, When hi strength needed
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about WEST System WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:

This is a very strong glue that is thick enough
to be applied to vertical surfaces without sag
or runoff. It is very convenient to use and store
in compact spaces but beware of the limited quantity that is supplied. About six ounces come in the tube and one of those six are wasted in the tip so the tube only delivers about five actual ounces of mixed epoxy so it is best used as adhesive and not for filling etc.

Terrific!
By WaterbugVerified Reviewer from Maine on 4/5/2010
Pros:
Little waste or mess, Very Easy To Apply
Cons:
Nozzles cannot be reused
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about WEST System WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:

I've used this product in the restoration of a wooden boat. The prethickened epoxy has remarkable nonsagging abilities and sets up well even in colder environments. The use of a caulking gun helps reduce waste and mess, although it's a shame that the mixing tip can't be reused. I recommend buying extras.

be aware of quantity remaining in tube
By Jim from Sierra Vista, AZ on 12/3/2009
Cons:
Careful tubes half empty, Resin occupies back half, Tube empty at half plunge
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about WEST System WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:

I was surprised. I thought the tube still half-full because the plunger on the gun was only in half-way. Apparently, it is the back half of the tube which the unmixed product occupies. When you think you've used about half, the tube is about empty.

Simple & Strong
By JPVerified Reviewer from Central VT on 12/3/2009
Pros:
Easy to dispense, Easy to work
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about WEST System WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:

One thing to note is that if you are only using a small amount you can dispense without using a mixing tip onto a board and mix it yourself. This eliminated the waste that gets left in the tip.

I used this with backing plates to repair a large rip in the aluminum roof of my cargo trailer. One day later, no leaks & no rip growing!

It works great, very easy to use. No mixing or measuring, just put on the mixing tip and you are ready to go. It has plenty of working time so there is no need to rush.
