Some junk I found...

While looking through a room in my basement, I came across a jar of stuff called Plumber's Putty. Is this the same as Epoxy? I have my doubts, since the contain says "do not use on plastic". Can someone give me a hint? The room also contains everything that is needed for modding and such--all different types of screwdrivers, a clamp, tons of screws, nails, bolts, nuts/wasshers, etc.--but not Epoxy. There might be extra PVC and tubing in there too, but I haven't checked that yet.

"Welcome to my underground layer" is what I would think of it. I just found out that this is my dad's storage room, and he says I can use the stuff, but not move it around. It's pretty small, too.
EDIT-I rummaged around further, and I found a cardboard box full of cans of stuff. After looking through it for five minutes, I found a package of Epoxy!
It's the kind that has two tubes, one says it's a Resin, and the other says it's a Hardener. I'm not sure if you use both, or mix them. Can someone fill me in?
EDIT 2-The package says they need to be mixed together. Is this still the right kind of Epoxy I would use for modding and such?

I would never use 5-minute epoxy or something similar. Even if it says that it can tak a certain amount of PSI, I'd still never use it. You need the time and you also need to mix it to know you're getting a good strong bond. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Think of it like this: Would you use 5 minute PVC cement?
