Which adhesives?

[spacechem]

I have a question for all you old pros- and the not-so-old pros too: Why, when DuPont offers their own proprietary adhesive, does it seem like so many of you use other brand(s)? From what I read, Integra is quite a stand-up company, but I'd like to hear from you why you don't use the DuPont stuff.

Kevin,

All the adhesive for SS is basically the same the only real difference is the viscosity and setup time. The set up time is what I use to determine what adhesive I use. In hot temp. I do not use the DuPont stuff because it gels very quickly giving a fabricator very little work time, I always choose a slower gel adhesive so I have plenty of time to get all of my edges right. Also the 250ml cartridges are more efficient than the 470ml cartridges on job size. If the job requires 750ml of adhesive why buy 940ml of adhesive.

Thanks Dani! I was beginning to wonder what kind of forum this is when 250 (and counting) people will read but no one was willing to help...
