Terry, There is a product called plumbers putty that I often use. It is an two part epoxy that is very easy to use. It comes in a roll about the size of a roll of nickels. One part is a core inside the other. I just cut off a piece and kneed it together. I have made many repairs using this stuff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Klarich" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 07, 2009 10:18 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Power Putty
I've wondered about this product. As a rule, I never purchase those products off those infomercials or anything that starts with "Billy Mais here". These type of commercials make me think of a slimy used car salesman. I realize this is my own problem. I do realize this is often the only method folks have to get their good idea or advention out to the general public. The guy who thought up the upside down tomatoe hanging thingy is doing quite well for him self because of his invention. Also, I'm thinking another good product is those extra obsorbent towels. Anyway, generally speaking, it is not easy for a blind person to use the 2 part epoxy. If you have ever done it, you know what I'm saying. There are situations where epoxy is very necessary. It works well when bonding 2 surfaces that are not the same like wood and metal. I like to use it on my wood working projects where a joint will be required to take a lot of force (such as a chair leg/style or seat/leg joint). I assumed power putty was ment more as a filler and had the consistency of mashed potatoes. Likewise, it's generally considered to be more for repair rather than initial construction. I'd be interested in hearing what others think. If there is a product that is easier to use than 2 part epoxy, it would make certain tasks much easier (for me anyway).
