Anyone know how well araldite...

...copes with reasonably warm temperatures? Don't worry, I'm not planning on glueing an engine head on with it, just planning on using it on a couple of things near the stove in my kitchen and was wondering if it'd hold.

TIA.

yeah .its **** to a blanket stuff ,,,once its cured its very good at not falling apart when heated ,,does it not say ''resists temps of ???'' on the packet ??but if not it can cope with most stuff ,,how hot are we talkin ??

Just the plastic (ventilation) shroud that's about 3 foot above the stove, so it's in a bit of a humid/hot area, but not really hot.

i reckon itl b fine then ,,ive gas welded about 6 in away from it and it was ok ,i couldnt even hold the piece as the whole thing was roasting but the araldite stood firm ,i would say yes then ,itll b ok for warm domestic type stuff

The mechnic's at BRM used Araldite to repair cracks in the blocks of the V12 engines in the P160 and P180 Formula one cars in the late 60's early 70's

I suspect it'll be OK on your ventilation shroud !!
