epoxy
Hardening bonding compound
Epoxy is a type of strong adhesive or resin that hardens when two components are mixed together.
The resulting bond is exceptionally durable and resistant to heat and chemicals, making epoxy popular for industrial applications, crafts, and repairs: I used epoxy to fix the broken handle.
As a verb, to epoxy something is to glue it with this adhesive.
