From your 20 years experience....

Post by davebross »

Vic,

I'm assuming you're still quite happy with the Hyxtal if you're still using it 20 years later.

Does it really stay clear and well bonded over a long span of time? Will exposure to sun make it yellow? Any other glitches? I'm assuming what you said about the different COE glasses would rule it out for bonding different materials such as metal to glass.

Hxtal was developed for the museum industry and it's primary claim to fame is that it yellows much more slowly than other glues.
