Getting araldite into a small hole

[Port Talbot]

Just seeking some inspiration for packing araldite into a hole about 10mm in diameter, without ending up getting more of it on me.

Heat it up but work fast.

A pin .I have found it stays on one to put into gaps

Mix it up, put it in a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off à la a confectioner's icing bag.

Good call

How do you heat it up?

 

[Lenny HB]

Put it in a syringe.

get a spoon mix it up put in spoon and heat bottom of spoon you can use a hot air paint stripper or I use a hot flame just heat till it gets runny

I'd mask the surface around the hole you're bound to get some around it. If you mask a reasonable area you could work it in with a small flexible piece of plastic as a spatula. Another option is the epoxy that comes in a two part syringe and mixes together as you squeeze it out.

It may pay to caulk the area immediately below the infill area beforehand with some papermache or silicone squirted in to limit the spread of the araldite, unless you want the whole wall/door filled

I did wonder about that but it might get a bit messy possibly!

Sound a bit "Miss Spent Youth..ish"
Trust that is all you have heated on a spoon....
P.S. A friend told me about it

 

[Port Talbot]

My worry is that it will be difficult to stop it going everywhere once it's liquid!

 

[pappajohn]

As Lenny said......a syringe.
Available at most chemists.
Don't use 5 minute epoxy, it'll be setting before you get it in the syringe.

I have been building RC models for the best part of 40 years and when I need to get 5min or 30min epoxy to run into cracks and holes out comes the spoon.

I believe this is a 10mm hole in a door skin so a bit different I think, I am familiar with warming epoxy to reduce its viscosity though

Ah, take the door off then, least mess and faff, some tape around the hole will keep it clean.
