The Epoch of Epoxy...

The past couple of days have consisted of using a variety epoxy based adhesives to stick small bits of wood together.  Behold the result of JB weld, slow setting epoxy and fast setting epoxy...




In terms of adhesives I like the consistency and strength of JB weld, but it's ugly as sin where it oozes out on to the wood.  The fast setting epoxy (5 minutes) seems to set too quickly for the applications I am using it for.  The slow setting stuff is generally a nice compromise, but it's not tacky enough for some situations.



When the glue age comes to a close it'll be time to move on to drilling out the parts...
