Gel epoxy won't seep or weep out of a joint the way a less viscous epoxy can and often does.

To some of Guy’s replyers, remember that most blanks are tapered; if the seat is a nice slip fit at the butt end, it may be (too) sloppy on the tip end and possibly requiring an arbor / bushing, albeit a very thin one. As stated, the slop at the tip end may be so minimal that eyeballing to center the seat to the blank may be sufficient.
Guy, back to your original question; many veterans have responded as well and condone bonding the seat directly to the blank.

FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!! BUILDING YOUR OWN SIMPLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE.

I'm with Norm, seems a dubious distinction. Though noted.

U40 Rod Bond hardener looks like a gel. The matching resin looks like a paste. Does that make U40 Rod Bond a gel/paste? :o)

Count me in with Norman and Lynn ..... same same

Ralph O'Quinn said RodBond was a gel. A Vaseline consistency. The maker of PC-7 says their product is a paste and lists it as such on the label.

One of the premier makers of "toothpaste" offers this explanation of their different teeth cleaning products - "Tooth Paste has a thicker texture, on the other hand Tooth Gel is more glassy and smooth."

Above are what the makers of these products choose to call them. But you can call them whatever you want.

U40 advertises rod bond as an epoxy paste.

You are correct PC7 is advertised as a paste, however there are PC epoxy putties.

Yeah! WE WON!! Also, just discovered my cork seal is also a gel. Must be time to order more. Gotta love it.
