Is there a good replacement for this adhesive? It was exceptional stuff. Slow cure, thin, yet cured rock hard. Most of the stuff today is either too thick, or is rubbery after cureing. I miss those big tubes in that orange box.

try west systems epoxy - good stuff. and a few options for hardener for the same epoxy. so you can contol the cure rates

Whoa, pricy stuff, nearly 50 bucks for the smallest size resin and hardener. Which is more than I would use in 5 years. Can't see spending that kind pf money on stuff I'd use .5 oz at a time.

West systems is really great stuff. My last purchase lasted me 10 years (didn't build to much then). But don't like that I have to mix more than I will typically use at one time. lot of waste!

So right now I am use the LHS stuff. Don't like it. Want to try System Three T88 Epoxy. It is used in full scale home build construction, so must be good stuff. Can be had in much smaller quantities than West Systems. in fact same size as your LHS. Cost about double or better but still cheaper than west systems.

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord
