    what kind of epoxy are you using?

    I have been using a super strong 2 part epoxy called 2 ton epoxy and it has a 24 hour cure estimate and is rather expensive here. So It doesn't really work all that well for me even when the surfaces are scuffed/sanded and has let go on me on few occasions. In short I have switched to using marine jb weld for all mounting and have never looked back as it is totally amazing how it holds. What are all of you using for mounts that is an actual clear epoxy?

      Zap 30min 2 part epoxy works good for me, depending on what I'm bonding I mix milled fiberglass with it and it becomes bullet proof!

        West System with milled fiberglass : servo mounts, battery tray and ESC mounts ( wood or FG/CF). I love JB Weld () for metal to FG or metal on metal.
        Too many boats, not enough time...

          West System with various fillers depending on the application, JB Weld for motor mounts, Devcon 5 minute for non critical things like gluing pool noodles.
          Gorilla Glue in some areas of wooden builds, Marine Goop...About the only thing I don't use much of is CA, even for planes.
          If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
