Does it hold screws well? Can you lengthen working time using less hardener? Is it smelly?

Holds screws probably better than wood! Yes it smells and need to apply in 5 minutes. I wouldn't mess around with less hardener especially if you want it to hooks screws.

It doesn't smell after curing and you can lengthen your working time with less hardner. As for crews I have never tried putting a screw in it.

It is basically the same compound as bondo body filler, so it is fairly strong, but will crack unless screw holes are pre-drilled. It does not smell very much, and can be slower curing with less hardener.

I put a screw in and it worked fine to hold on a post cap and it worked just fine. I wouldn't expect it hold a lot of weight--i.e. joists. But, something reasonable should be fine. It doesn't appear to be as strong as the original wood that it replaces. But, I was very happy with it. I'm not sure about using less hardener, but I took my time and I was fine. Also, I didn't measure scientifically, I just kind of approximated. Yes, it is smelly until it fully dries. It smells like bondo. If you are unfamiliar with that smell, its kind of like super glue. This is bondo but in a different color. You can probably get a better price on Bondo at your local home improvement store if you think you need a lot of it. I actually bought this can and then got a gallon at my local hardware store.

Yes, it absolutely is a nuisance. Some of my screws were stripped which made it even more difficult. It took two of us two hours to take it apart, clean it and put it back together. It's a great product and works well, and customer service was (in my experience) very helpful, but I don't think I'll have the patience to do it again. Good luck!

Never noticed a glue smell myself, but I don't think I'm sensitive to it either.... Hope this helps:)

Kreg Stainless screws are POS in my opinion and do not deserve the Kreg name. I have used both Blue and SS on PT and highly prefer the Blue but they will corrode eventually. I only have about 5 years on the Blues that I have used on PT and so far no issues and actually have much less oxidation than ceramic coated exterior screws used elsewhere. SS will last longer but it too will corrode.

It had a *strong* chemical smell when I unpacked it and as I was assembling it, but 24 hours later it seems to be odorless. If you have a strong reaction to that sort of thing, I'd have a friend unpack it outside or in the garage and then I'd let it air out for a few hours or a day before assembling it.

No, not yet. I lubricate the threads of forcing screw/flat washers with silicone grease before every use and have had no problems.

Yes but it's not thick. Depending on your needs it's a perfect little set. Every couple months I tighten up the screws but that's just me trying to make my stuff last.

Overall it's very solid. For home use it could last many years, especially if you set it and forget it. My timer knob falls off too. It has to come off for shipping, repairs, etc. It needs a dot of something to provide a bit more friction. It gradually vibrates off the shaft. You don't want to glue it on permanently.

Just exercise a bit of care and it will work fine. I have used one for 6 months without need for adjustment. Do not over-tighten the screws and do use some Loctite.

No problems with using decent brand - I most commonly use Senco screws when I'm working with metal studs and coarse thread 1-5/8" from Lowes or Home Depot when going into wood studs. The tool is a gem that has paid for itself many times over in time savings and convenience.

Not at all, heavy duty and you need to lay it flat but I'm happy with it, no smell!

This unit is very reliable for the long term use. there is no issue that I know of with the screw threads.

it is a good towel holder. you can use specialty screws of the length you need to get the job done without putting a hole through the cabinet.

No, I would not use it for a piece that cannot be clamped. The hardening time varied depending on how much was mixed. Larger amounts set much quicker than small amounts. I have subsequently used it to glue some wood and found it pretty slow to set compared to yellow wood glue.

Not really, it works great as a drill. It doesn't have anything to limit Torque, so using it with screws is not ideal

The only remedy that i personally have found to avoid movement is to check to see if the screws have loosened up and retighten. Also you can apply Blu loctite. Hope that helps.

Quite shallow if you have a large case, you will only get one screw in on each side. You could put it in a bracket or internal case, which will make it more secure. I was surprised at how short they are (amongst other things).
