uh oh, First issue with VX

JB weld is just an epoxy. I use it all the time to fabricate broken plastics in laptops. Its good stuff, its drillable, machinable within moderation. Cure time is overnight, but its cheap.

I REALLY like this stuff tho: Marine-Tex in both fast cure and putty form. The putty is very workable into a variety of shapes, and the fast cure is FAST (for epoxy). More spendy, esp the putty since once you mix the pot, its a one-shot deal.

I still like PC-7 & PC-11 too. It's gotten almost impossible to find locally though. I need to see if I can purchase some on line (need some PC-11 to install a depth finder on the boat & I'm almost out).
