Like the long open time. Have used it on composites & metals

As the spec states, this product has a 1:10 catalyst-to-adhesive ratio, and you need an applicator tool with a suitable smaller catalyst (activator) push pad than that on the applicator for 1:1/1:2 cartridges. See my review of the Cox M400XMR series of applicators. There is a way to adapt the 1:1/1:2 model for use with all three cartridge ratios by changing just one part.

Great Bonding Glue. Must use special dispensing gun. Great gap filler. Mix in very well vented area (yes, really). Working time seems to be less than advertised. Glue expensive, gun expensive, but otherwise great.

Expensive but worth it

Used the MA425 to bond a deck to hull. Tests prior to actually bonding the deck proved this stuff sticks. To get it apart, plan on destroying the part. My test was on fiberglass foam core panels, the glass had a peelply finish. The dispenser gun is solid and works very well. I had no problems at all with the stuff, not a single misplaced bead. The stuff mashes well and does not require much clamping pressure. You might need spacers to keep it from squashing too thing but it won't run on vertical surfaces, it stays where you put it.

Q: Hello - I have been advised to buy the Plexus with a __quote__slow kick time__quote__ - I just didn't know what that meant - I will be filling a voided hole in my boats stringer. I am assuming it meant slow set time? So the 10:1 MA 425 would work best? Thanks so much, Josh

A: I tried the MA 425 but had better success and performance with a product from Parson Adhesives, Inc. PARTITE 7425. Cure profile, strength, performance and cost were all better than the Plexus product.

Q: Is this product good for sticking/repairing a solid surface counter top?

A: it depends on the specific type of work your doing. Best on wood and fiberglass, not so good for hard surface bonding. needs to be porous surface.

Q: I am securing a deck to hull joint and looking at the MA 425 (seems superior to 3m5200), what is the proper bead size that will make sure the adhesive works as designed? And given that bead size, how long of a bead will this cartridge produce (5 ft, 25 ft etc)? Trying to figure out how many cartridges it would take to complete the joint (outward flange hull to deck joint).
