: I use G5 all the time for when I need to glue somethig up quickly.
: When you say using teflon tape, do you mean wetting out the tape
: with it, or do you mean using the tape to temporarily hold them
: in until the epoxy cures? One issue I have had with G5 is that
: G5 does not absorb into the wood as well as "regular"
: epoxy. I quit using it to glue stuff up before wetting out
: because what happens is that when you wet the wood out for
: glassing the areas with G5 have not absorbed as much epoxy
: (because G5 is thicker) and they turn out as light spots.

: In the above I refer to West System's G5 five-minute epoxy, but I
: am sure the same would go for other brands.

The reference to telfon tape is that I wrap the mini glue stick with teflon tape before fitting into the fiberglass sleeve.
