<div>JMHO.</div> <div> </div> <div>5 min epoxy does not wet the surfaces as well as 2 hour epoxy, so it will not adhere as well to smooth surfaces. It has also been my experience that 5 min epoxy does not stand up as well to glow fuel, it will turn rubbery with time. Perhaps this was the particular brand I was using at the time (don't remember). I don't use anything less than 30 minute epoxy in the shop anymore.</div> <div> </div> <div>Bob R.</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Jay Marshall <lightfoot@sc.rr.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 10 (filtered)" name=Generator> <STYLE> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Brush Script MT"; panose-1:0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times
