Re: ATM Does Water Damage Epoxy?

["Bill Kelley" <flex@commspeed.net>]

To All,
After trying JBWeld, Duro , and others I've settled on Devcon 5 minute for
flex pullers. It sets hard and I've pulled 300 lbs. per square inch and left
it under load for months. A 1" OD puller wrenched up way beyond the tension
of 280 lbs.required to correct a thick 13" mirror failed and took about a
1/2" piece of glass with it. I guess I'm saying I like it! - Bill Kelley
