G\/flex Epoxies are available in two consistencies. G\/flex 650 Epoxy is a liquid epoxy with a honey-like consistency. G\/flex 655 Epoxy Adhesive is pre-thickened with a consistency similar to gel toothpaste. Both have an easy-to-use 1:1 mix ratio. G\/flex provides a relatively long open working time, yet it cures quickly and can be used in cool temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eG\/flex Epoxies are toughened to make them resilient and impact resistant, giving them the ability to make structural bonds that can absorb the stresses of expansion, contraction, shock, and vibration. With a modulus of elasticity of 150,000 psi, G\/flex is more flexible and can deflect further before breaking than WEST SYSTEM 105\/205, while being much stiffer than typical adhesive sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eG\/flex adheres tenaciously to difficult-to-glue hardwoods, both tropical and domestic varieties. It can be used to bond metals, plastics, glass, masonry, and fiberglass. G\/flex is ideal for repairs to aluminum boats and polyethylene and ABS canoes and kayaks. It can also be used to wet out and bond fiberglass tapes and fabrics. G\/flex 650 can be modified with WEST SYSTEM fillers and additives and added to other WEST SYSTEM epoxies to improve their toughness and flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix ratio by volume 1:1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix ratio by weight 1.2:1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix viscosity: G\/flex 650 (at 72°F) ASTM D-2393 15,000 cps - G\/flex 655 gel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePot life (100g at 72°F) 45 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking time 75 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitial cure 3 to 4 hours - Workable cure* 7 to 10 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinimum recommended temperature 40°F (4°C)* - Wait 24 hours before subjecting to high loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecific gravity 1.11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardness (Shore D) ASTM D-2240 75\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompression yield ASTM D-695 5,270 psi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTensile strength ASTM D638 3,440 psi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTensile elongation ASTM D-638 32.7%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTensile modulus ASTM D-638 1.44E+05 psi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlexural strength ASTM D-790 5,190 psi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat deflection temperature ASTM D-648 127°F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimate Tg 154°F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage\/Shelf Life-Store at room temperature.
