Not for metal
It says that this epoxy works on metal in the Amazon description and on the back of the card, but not on the front. This made me wonder whether I could use it to bond two pieces of aluminum, so I asked the "community" and got a couple of "yes" answers. Well, the answer is that it doesn't stick to aluminum or steel, not even a little bit.
Continuing in the "what's the REAL answer?" department, it also says (on the front of the card and in the Amazon description) that it cures in one hour. On the back of the card it says that it only "fully" cures overnight; in reality it takes a full 24 hours to completely harden, but then it no longer adheres to the metal work pieces.
Finally, this epoxy arrived - unbeknownst to me because the label obscures the cylinders - with air bubbles. This meant that the first couple of tries at getting a 50-50 mix of resin and hardener failed because one cylinder would squirt out its contents, while the other would emit an air bubble with a smaller amount of product. And this epoxy, if it's not a PERFECT 50-50 mix, will never harden - not in an hour, not in 24 hours, not ever - it'll just leave you with a gooey mess. So if you're using it (for something other than metal) peel the label off, stand the applicator vertically with the plunger end up, and wait for the air bubble(s) to rise to the top before dispensing.
