Vigor Jeweler's Epoxy 2 Step 12.0451 - Fast Setup Clear and Colorless - Resin and Hardener

Best epoxy ever I used

Just what I needed for my minor repairs I wasn't willing to pay a jeweler to do for me. Secure, and dries perfectly clear. Good value.

The product itself works! It holds great and is extremely strong. The packaging I feel needs to be rethought about by the Vigor brand (absolutely nothing to do with this Seller) The each part of the epoxy ends up destroying the cap making them leak, crack and can end up being unusable all together. Aside from the caps/tube, I continue to purchase this Jewelrs Epoxy because it has the best hold I’ve found out of the many jewelers clues and epoxies that I’ve tried

I used it to glue the bezel to the ring. Then I glued the stone to the bezel. I used a very small amount of the epoxy and it held extremely well. Obviously soldering is stronger, but this is extremely close to soldering. The epoxy did not have an extremely strong odor either. It dries clear. I used alligator clips to hold the glue in place for 24hrs. Extremely strong glue. Would definitely buy again.

I used this because the pearl on my ring fell off and I didn't want to not have my lovely pearl ring. Using it was fairly easy, a simple one:one ratio of the two. I used a toothpick to place the glue inside the hole on the pearl and on the peg it was to sit on. I didn't really notice a SUPER powerful smell to the adhesive mixture but there was a scent, so I do recommend using this with windows open or with good airflow. I've had this glue on my ring for almost a year now and it is still holding! I also did not need much at all so I still have almost the entire containers left! Definitely a worth while purchase, the use and functionality of the product are definitely worth it for anyone who has jewelry!

Works very well

I had my old pearl ring refurbished last year by a local jeweler. I thought she did a good job, but the pearl actually came off in my workout club shower (less than two years?)! I had the ORIGINAL pearl ring for 20+ years and the pearl never came off (although I think I replaced once). There did not appear to be signs of ANY residue from old glue on the post or inside the pearl or base. So, I called the shop. They did not respond. Since, I used to work for a jewelry store, I researched on line and this two step process is the best. Weeks later it is still tight. Save money and do it yourself!!! Great product.

I have used this for years to set cabochon gem stones in jewelry as opposed to doing a bezel setting. In fact I like the effect of a thick polished bezel as compared to a thin hammered bezel mount. I have had no problems over many years with failure of this epoxy. For me it is a little messy and I have to be careful to time the hardening and clean off the excess with acetone while hardening.
