no, it works the way resin does. got the 'resin', and then you got the hardener. they're in separate tubes. you gotta cut the tip off to each tube, then the handle is attached and pushes the stuff out evenly at the same time. then you mix it and spread on. it's not really that hard to do. it's thick so it'll stay on whatever you put it on to apply it. i had a small dowel i used that was split, so the tip was thin.
