: I'm in the process of bonding hardwood strips to the stem and
: stern of my Cirrus. I didn't want to wait 2 days for my MAS slow
: epoxy to harden so for my first attempt I'm using Titebond II
: to glue the steam bent strip to the stern. But it occurred to me,
: what about "5 minute epoxy?" Can I use this really fast curing
: epoxy for bonding jobs like this? I bet it would fill the
: gap better than the yellow glue, and it would cure much faster
: so that I can get the clamps off and move on to the next step.
: Is it strong enough for this?
: For that matter, what about other jobs? For example, filling in
: gaps in the filleting where I filleted between the stitches. Could
: I get 5-minute (or 10-minute or 60-minute) epoxy, thicken it, and
: use it to fill gaps?

It is not watrproof but should be fine there. It will set in 5 but I don't think it has full strengh in 5,check with brand. It is pricy.
