Default useing two part "syringe type epoxy" for tacking.


Yeah, I've used it. Don't trust it for anything structural. I used it
for a rudder yoke on a sailing canoe and on a little fold-up dolly.
Both failed fairly quickly. I think it would be OK for joints that
don't take _ANY_ stresses, or for sealing up edges of thru-decks etc,
but I wouldn't trust it for any stressed joint.

Has anyone played with using the two part epoxies that come in the the
syringes (1:1) to tack the boat parts in place? Package says 3-5
minutes to bond. can move in an hour, and sand/machine in 24 hours.

I could see some spots where they might come in handy, but was
wondering if anyone has tried them or not?
