Are there better adhesives out there these days?
epoxy adhesive comes in a huge range of formulations depending ion what
you want to bond, and whet conditions you are exposing the subsequent
joint to.

Araldite is probably the worst of all possible formulations. or was. I
use 'model shop' epoxies. Mainly 5 minute stuff and stove it in the Aga
at about 100C for best results.
