Glue that is easier & asgood as epoxy

My friend gave me this glue stuff called goop. It made my 4100's trigger so much stronger.

Wow that sounds intersting...the kind of epoxy I am using right now is really weak. I think if I got a better type, I could freeze my soaker's check valves better.


Note: Teh problem I run into when I freeze my check valve, is that my epoxy is too runny. It runs along the spiral grooves in the screw I used to block the opening. It then dries inside the pladtic tubing and blocks everything oof (plus it's not air tight) any suggestions?

Man the screw you used must have been much too small. When I did a Freeze, I used a screw that was big enough that it created threads in the plastic (as Doom noted in the article), so adding Plastic Welder (the best glue to use for soakers in my opinion, 1000 PSI stronger than the strongest epoxy I could find in my hardware store, Plastic Welder holds 3500 PSI) only made sure that leaks didn't come out of the screw threads. But the screw was very tightly in the valve. I cut the valve then took it with me to the store, so I could get a screw slightly bigger than the hole that was big enough to create threads in the plastic. [/b][/quote]
No, the screw I used was slightly larger than the holes, so it would make grooves in the plastic. You obviously don't understand the kind of epoxy I was using. It was almost like water.

Oh. Sorry about that. I would highly reccomend getting Plastic Welder instead of that XPBackfire-esque watery epoxy. You can buy it at Ace Hardware. 3500 Psi is what it would hold, while this XPBackfire-esque Super Epoxy stuff could only hold 2500 Psi.

Yeah, I Don't like Epoxy that much either. It took way to long to dry and it didn't stay where I wanted it to stay.
