[QUOTE="Clark, post: 925834, member: 6600"] Almost any epoxy will have a compressive strength of about 20 kpsi. While the strength is the same, there are variations in viscosity and working time. I have used all kinds of epoxies for rifles, and I have settled on Devcon steel putty. With it, I do not have to fight time nor gravity. The most important things are that: 1) the epoxy and catalyst are warm enough at the time they are mixed 2) the epoxy and catalyst are still good so they will still go off. If they are a couple years old, test first. 3) be ready before mixing. I do a dry run where I practice the process without the epoxy. [/QUOTE]
