Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First, it does NOT (repeat, does NOT NOT NOT) "fully cure in 1 hour".
Performance varies. It usually gets "most" of its strength after 10 minutes, but I have seen it take up to several hours, even a whole day, to really get 100% rock-hard. By one hour, it is probably 90%
Successful uses:
Filled a crummy car stereo knob. Hard to explain, but easy to understand if you have ever seen it. The internal tube, which slides over the stereo's shaft, always cracks and comes loose. I filled the hollow portion of the knob with quicksteel, and it will now last forever. Quicksteel seems to handle high heat much better than any other substance, and doesn't shrink over time, which is critical for this use.
Wrapped some around a stubborn piece of hardware that wouldn't unscrew, and was not shaped for any kind of wrench. The quicksteel dries on like glue, and could be shaped to grab with real tools. It's hard to remove, so it's only for desperate situations.
Filled in the handle portion of my "Gerber Artifact" tool. This stuff is good for filling gaps or holes in stable objects.I would not use it for structural repairs. It may be hard, and fairly strong, but it is also brittle and lacks extreme abrasion resistance. These are all different properties. I wouldn't use it for anything that will take a lot of impact or vibration.
Quicksteel is also at risk of being weakened by bubbles and small spots of unmixed ingredients, so it's not for anything that would be dangerous if it failed.
