Best epoxy glue for fly tying.....

[A. Fluker]

In the market again for some epoxy glue. Assume that the 5 minute stuff is considered to be essential. Is it Devcon or Loctite or another manufacturer who might offer the best?
Look forward to hearing any replies.
Thanks for your time.

The best I've found is the 4 minute epoxy from Deluxe Materials.

The adhesive/hardener ratio is not quite as critical as some makes; it's very clear, and it has the longest shelf life of any of the epoxies I've tried.

When I need an adhesive of virtually any kind, that's my first port of call. Their range is excellent and every one I've tried has been top quality.

Thanks for that. It looks as if it could work for me.

Tube or syringe?

I always get the 71g twin bottles. It's easy enough to judge the right amounts and I hate those syringes. Squeeze gently and nothing happens, so squeeze a bit harder and there's glue everywhere.
