It has a strong, long-lasting, solvent-free adhesive which is water-resistant and can be painted or sanded. Features & Benefits: Araldite® Rapid is a strong 2-component epoxy with fast setting. Parts repositionable for 4 minutes. High temperature resistance (-30°C to 80°C). Oil, chemical and impact resistant. John Palmer wrote:... The July 1948 edition of Flight magazine reports the development by Aero Research Ltd of 'a new synthetic resin adhesive named "Araldite"'. According to the article, this 'sets under the application of heat alone and no hardener is required'. This sounds more like Aerolite, but Flight had already reported this going on the market in 1938.

Over the years, I have used Araldite - the proper stuff, not the rapid rubbish - for lots of modelling purposes, valuing its strength, slow setting (adjustable with temperature) and insulating properties. Recently, I ran out and have been trying to get the same product for future use.
