Default J-B Weld vs. J-B Kwik

I've been using J-B Weld for years. When I went to buy some new tubes
today, I noticed the borg also carries J-B Kwik which claims a 4
minute set time, 4 hour cure.

My gut tells me that a longer set and cure time (J-B Weld - 15 hour
cure) would be better/stronger, but I ain't no chemist.

Any thoughts on the matter? Is J-B Kwik just as good as J-B Weld when
both have cured completely?


Sometimes I hold things together with Ambroid Cement, which dries in
less than 5 mintues (although I give it a half hour to "cure") and
then put on expoxy to really hold it. I make sure there are plenty of
bonding places that the Ambroid Cement** isn't touching.

but can be broken apart later if need be.
