shear strenth 3,750 psi. water resistent but not waterproof. pot life
indefinite. clean up with water before it sets.

shear strength of epoxy is 15,000n psi and its waterproof.


The strongest (advertized) tensile I could find in 2 part 24 hour
epoxy was 4500 psi. I usually find shear is a fraction of tensile for
the ordinary run of materials... Where did your data originate?

opps, my mistake. "Shear strengths are maple to maple blocks", not birch.

the epoxies tested are "G1", "G2", "Cold Cure", "205 West", and "206 West"
the West came out slightly lower at 14,000 psi.
