Just wondering why! What would be the advantage with all of the time tested products already being used. I haven't heard of any problems with products such as Rod Bond, Ultimate Gel, etc.

Mike, sort of like wandering away from the time tested cork for handles. Ha! How silly to want to try something new or different.

what is the attraction for two part acrylic? is it very clear? faster setting? more working time? levels real nice? or curiosity. Nothing wrong with all those things. Just wondering.

It is just very accessible and very low cost for me, so if I could use it and it works fine, why not.

Try it.

If it is still good in 10 years then it is worth using.

As we keep using epxoy, there is a fair chance that many of us will develop sensitivities that force us to look for alternitives. There are compounds in the 'old reliables' that can sneak up on you from repeated exposure. If you find a good substitute, I hope you post it. Any of us just may need the info some day.
