Default RE Balcotan

I'm using it at the moment. Great advantages over epoxy a no mixing, easy
to clean any excess that oozes from joints (after it has set) and it doesn't
blunt tools like epoxy does. It doesn't have the same structural gap filling
properties as epoxy, though it does foam up to fill small voids. I'm putting
a new deck (marine ply) on a wooden sloop and thinking of sticking it down
with Balcotan instaed of my original choice of epoxy. If anyone reading this
has any views on this I would be very interested.

Many good long term claims for this glue, anyone used it, from what they
state its a much more acceptable glue than epoxy, we know it cannot be

as
good as epoxy but is it good enough for my purpose, making up frames,

and
gluing strip planks, then I will give it all a layer of epoxy,
and fine down.
Pot life is sound, fumes tolerable, that's all it needs is strength as

well.
