I have used devcon 5 minute epoxy for nearly 20 years on the job, at home, and for hobby use. I've glued metal, plastic, rocks, and wood. I have used it successfully for engine mounts. It sometimes takes less or more than 5 minutes but always had a definite "kick" after which it seemed like hard plastic.  I went to pick some up Saturday and didn't see any in the store I went to, so I picked up some Gorilla 5 minute epoxy.  I mixed it in equal proportions and after a few hours it was a sticky gooey mess that still had not hardened.  Have any of you guys tried it?  How did it work for you? 

No, I've never tried it, but was thinking about it until I read this. I looked at a package at Lowes the other day. Thanks for the alert. I usually use BSI, though it's frequently re-branded by Great Planes or some such hobby dealer.

I have used the regular original Gg for some repairs and it's pretty good. I dampen the two surfaces, or one if I can't get to the other, and it sticks really well and will fill some gaps. I had to replace a wing in my Twister and had a few gaps after cleaning out the old wing root in the fuse. After I tacked it in alignment with small shims and CA, I coated 1/16" balsa shims with original one part Gg and slid them tightly in place and it looks like it did a good job. I flowed BSI epoxy into the rest of the joint.

When I first got back into building in 2010 and in the new age of CA, I built a Li'l Jumpin' Bean with Gorilla thick rubberized CA and was satisfied. It gave plenty of work time and was plenty strong. Never had a glue joint fail after many crashes. You can pre-glue and then assemble. I'd use it again if I thought I had a need for it.

   Gentlemen, if I might add my 2 cents .... when it comes to CA's and epoxies I believe each of you should try the Mercury brand.  When I owned an operated the local hobby shop here, I talked with the former owner, Cliff Whitley, a number of times, back when he first started and finally decided to try his product for my personal uses before I decided to stock it in the store.  Guys, all I can tell you is there came a point shortly afterwards when it was the only brand I stocked and I refuse to change the labels like BSI.  I really, really like their product, warranty and product support.  Granted not every LHS may stock it but you can order it direct if need be.  When I closed my store a few years ago, I was determined to continue using this product, no matter what.  I buy the thick, medium and thin CA's by the box (which usually holds me for about 6-8 months or so) and keep my extras in the big freezer until I'm ready for them; the epoxies get ordered on an as needed basis.  Gentlemen, I'll be very, very surprised if any of you, who take the time to test the product, can find a valid reason to come against this product.  To me, it's awesome!!  Jus' one man's opinion!  No, I'm not advertising just offering a earnest testimonial to those who are interested !!

I use very little CA glue so I really don't have an opinion on it, however I can say unequivocally that West System Epoxy is the best I have ever used.

I actually am also a huge fan of Mercury CA's. I also believe that they are the best by far.....
I do have some where less than 1,000 pipettes that I bought on ebay or amazon, and I just trim them off at the base, and use a new one each time I build on the Mercury bottles. They work great and have a tiny tiny tip for the thin CA. so small that for thicker stuff sometimes I have to trim it back a little. These pipettes also fit other CA bottles.
Bill I will mail you some if I remember to!

West "G-flex" bonding epoxy is indeed very good stuff, and worth the $25 per pair of bottles.
For real laminating though, their epoxy is marginal, it is too thick.
MGS rocks for that. It is almost the viscosity of water!

Gorilla Glue is known for their PolyUrethane glue, which a lot of RC guys love for balsa sheeting on wings. It cures with moisture, and you can actually add a few drops of water to it then whip it up and it will foam and fill any voids. You have to watch out because this foaming expansion can push parts away from one another if not properly secured until dry.
Easy to sand compared to most other adhesives, too.

I just wish they still made hobbypoxy.
