Is it water safe? I need to glue metal and rubber together and use it under water.

Hello, We have checked Loctite's website and it states that it is resistant to moisture, most chemicals and freezing temperatures. It is also recommend for rubber and metal. Thanks

Yes that would be fine! It's almost entirely made plastic, there are 4 metal (exposed) screws on the very bottom on the feet, and the straps are nylon. But they can get wet.

Hi. I've used this at outdoor plays and at the beach. I have never submerged it in water as the interior frame is metal or aluminum, but I've gotten it wet and spilled soda on it with no problems hosing it off. I just make sure to dry it out right after rinsing so the metal won't rust.

The polymer is basically a tough plastic instead of metal. This product doesn't claim to be NSF certified for potable water hoses. I don't know if the polymer contains chemicals that could leach out over time. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer if possible.

Probably will not work for water use. It was made for dry conditions inside of a tire and not exposed in wet conditions. You need to buy a new one if you are going to water rafting again.

No, I would not consider submerging this item in water! The case is not a water tight sealed enclosure.

I would not put it in a pool due to the metal legs. It would be afraid it might rust.

Hi. I've answered this before so will be brief. This strainer is really great and highly recommended. Water contact breaks down the metal .. this can cause rust .. so prevent it. Go to one of the "box stores" and by a can of "clear gloss" Polyurethane (about $7). As soon as you get strainer, take off the rubber feet and wipe it down (don't get it wet). Now, give it a couple of coats of that clear poly. Let completely dry (like overnight if possible). Lightly wash and dry, put on rubber feet and use. It will never rust (mine hasn't after a long time).

I used the adhesive in the marine industry, carpet , vinyl , that are exposed to water often with no problems , not sure if it would hold up with constant water contact but it would be a great product to try , like most 3M stuff it works well

I don't recommend putting it in water. After just one time mine got stuck and I now have trouble expanding and contracting.

NO. I would contact the company directly that makes the product about this and not trust what feedback you get here. I use mine out in the elements, but I would never use it under water it's not totally waterproof.

no, it is not. you are looking for something made of rubber or likewise material. with the water and heat it will cause there is a likelihood of skin problems or other problems

I am not certain as I have not tested it under water. Generally slow setting epoxy is so it should be.

There are available connectors with a rubber boot over the top of the collar to make them "water proof" (water getting in through the collar end). For the exposed metal, I think it is fine, but if you're worried about weather exposure, just use vinyl electrical tape to wrap the collar end or the entire connector -- but it has to be done properly or water could make it in and get trapped (if unwrapped, any water would otherwise dry up).

It's not that type of epoxy. I don't think that using it in that way would work. It's more like a waterproof sealant than a sticky glue.

I would say no because I have used water to thin this glue down. It is also easy clean up with water. I think the water would just infiltrate the glue. Also I would say it would not be the right type glue for underwater items.

You can't apply this product under water, surface must be clean and dry to make good bond. Once cured it will hold its bond under water.
