- Mighty Putty
Mighty Putty is an epoxy putty
adhesive that resemblesputty and is intended for use in household repairs. It is made up of a hardener substance (dark green in the outside,) and a base substance (light gray on the inside). It is used by 'kneading' the two layers into each other, causing anexothermic chemical reaction similar to that of Bondo. The cylindrical shape of the base and hardener putty means that the user does not have to measure separate amounts of the substances as with some liquid epoxies. Like all epoxies, Mighty Putty easily bonds to a wide variety of surfaces, including wet surfaces. Unlike many other types of glues, epoxy adhesives are capable of filling gaps and even being used as a structural part by molding.It is advertised on television in the form of an infomercial, hosted by
