Araldite -- Food Grade?

[geoffi]

Anybody know if Araldite is 'food grade'? I'm looking for a suitable glue to use in my party kegs.

From the smell of it I wouldn't think so ....

Cheers

silicone maybe?

Of course, now I think about it I must have consumed a lot of food/drink over the years from containers repaired with Araldite. (Remember the days when it was cheaper to repair something than to just chuck it out and buy a brand new one from China?)

As for the smell, I think that disappears completely once it's dry.

Anyway, considering all that, and the fact that it is only a tiny amount I want to use, I think I'll go ahead and do it.

Araldite is one version of the two pack epoxy type of glue, the MSDS's warn against eating it when its uncured, but once set its fine.

Thanks Grant. I'll go ahead and use it. (Unsafe to eat uncured...it ain't Perkin's Paste, that's for sure.)
