Have both a 5-minute and 30 minute epoxy. The consistency of mixed 5-min (fishing rod epoxy) is thinner (but thick enough) and work time short but it sems easy to apply and works fine for one set of tubes at a time. So I figure 30-minute epoxy would give me much more time to work on several blanks. Seems I was wrong, parts A & B are thicker to start and I can no longer roll a tube after about five minutes, the only thing is it does take at least 30 minutes to cure, I just can't work with it any longer than the five minute version. So I now glue two tubes per mix. Anybody else have this problem? Maybe the epoxy is mis-marked? I'd hate to vary the 1:1 mix ratio and risk non-cure. I also use Gorilla glue but would rather (pardon the pun) stick with epoxy. I've had a tube or tube push out with the polyurethane glue. I'm tired of using so many toothpicks and post-it notes.
