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.
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.
Frame No. 5 with bonds and fillets
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.

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.

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.

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!

Comments about WEST System WEST System Six10 Thickened Epoxy Adhesive:
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.
