I use epoxy exclusively for fillets, even LPR. It offers superior strength for very little weight penalty. I wear gloves when using it.
Makes FLAWLESS single-pass fillets.
My fins NEVER break-off at the tube joint unlike those applied with white-glue or even Titebond.
It works for me, but it is more complex to use than other glues.

If you are going to use epoxy, NEVER use the "5 minute" GARBAGE. It is weak and borderline useless.

For 'tacking' and 'quick repairs' I mostly use medium-viscosity CA.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
