Need a bit if help choosing the best kind of araldite to use!
If I'm correct the standard 5-min isn't the strongest. Does it follow
the slower drying ones (eg 30 min) set to stronger bonds?


All else being equal, yes.


Generally the longer the setting time the stronger the bond. A single part
polyurethane might be easier, like Gorilla Glue.


You can accelerate Araldite curing time by applying a modest level of
heat. What it does to bond strength is beyond my knowledge.
