  • Gel Time: 10 minutes @ 77°F
  • Full Cure: 2-5 days @ 77°F
  • Shelf Life: At least 1 year (under proper storage conditions)

  • Apply Thixo LV at or above 55°F for the best results. Use a solvent like acetone or Bio-Solve to clean and prep materials before bonding, and a lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol to smooth out work. While Thixo LV can be used in cooler weather, it mixes better warm. Apply in desired thickness to both prepared surfaces and bond firmly. Make sure Thixo LV stays on the contact surfaces and is not squeezed out/off.
  • While it is accurately described as a thin, low viscosity adhesive, Thixo LV is still epoxy, meaning it’s consistency is closer to maple syrup than water. It does seep and flow well, making it useful for small cracks and tight spaces.
  • Thixo LV epoxy will dry close clear.
  • The gel time is about 10 minutes at 77°F, and it will be fully cured in about 2 days at 77°F. Cooler temperatures increase time required for full cure.
