Hi Folks.....

>     As a personal thing I would never use 5 minute epoxy. There are
>     other epoxies like Epoxy 330, if you want quick cure time. 

    I've had good results with Devcon's Two Ton epoxy......I get the
    stuff in the two barrel syringe..... 

    30 minutes to handling, 24 hours to full cure..... I usually give it
    an extra day.... 

    Stuff cures clear, and one can color it with Testor's model paints, a
    couple of drops added to it about half way through the one minute
    mixing..... 

    Cleanup before cure can be done with rubbing alcohol or acetone...
