Awhile back I was having a few instances of the tube coming out of acrylic blanks when using the pen mill.I was using the fast set (5 min.) Loctite epoxy,several here on forum suggested going to a slower cure epoxy.I bought the Loctite 60 min. pro set of two 4 oz. bottles.I have used it to glue up a couple batches of acrylic blanks,after 3 days of drying and one day in dehydrator the glue is still tacky and soft.I made sure to mix it correctly,both with right amounts of resin and hardner,and stirring it plenty long for a good mix.I have been using epoxy for many years,both in military aviation and later as a builder,so I'm not inexperienced in its use.Has anyone had a problem with Loctite epoxy? This is very annoying and is messing up blanks destined for IRAK.I'd appreciate any ideas.Don't know if I just have a bad batch of glue,at over $20 it should work. John
