...or do you not.
I need to buy some new epoxy for my pen work. I bought two bottles of the 5 minute stuff (Devcon), but had to throw them away because it was going bad before I used it all.
I have a friend who says that 5 minute isn't strong enough for him, so I went to Lowes and they have various strengths and manufacturers of 5 minutes epoxy (but nothing in a longer-set time); there was a gel, but it had a cream color; there was Gorilla epoxy, etc. 1200 psi, 1500 psi, 2500 psi, etc.
What manufacturer do you like (or dislike)? Is 5 minute stuff OK? I have never had any of it set before I wanted, but I noticed a 1 minute variety that scared the dickens out of me. It takes me longer than that to get my fingers unstuck from each other... Do you like the small bottles that have both parts that are dispensed at the same time?
You get the picture: I am looking for advice and counsel from the folks who know.
Thanks!
