Homemade epoxy alternative?
Hey all,
I need epoxt for many reasons, and for many reasons I cannon get/use it. So I am wondering... Does anyone know of a good homemade solution that is comparable to epoxy? It needs to harden to a really solid finish.
Thanks!

couldn't you just use some PVC primer to 'melt' the pipe back together?

Super glue is not a good bet. It has good tensile strength but sheer strength isn't worth a damn

i have a friend that makes (flying, with remote) airplanes, and epoxy is necessary for it. he doesn't have any, and his parents won't let him buy some, so he uses melted bands. i actually give him the bands. i give him my torn #64s and #32s. you should try it if you haven't figured something out yet.

hot glue works but you have to smooth it out after you put it on
