Re: 15 min. epoxy vs. Elmer's ultimate glue
Two-part epoxies by far are a lot stronger, and I will also recommend you use the 15 minute epoxy. One thing that I have (unfortunately) learned from experience is that 15 minutes is not the curing time, but the setting time. The setting time is the amount of time for the epoxy to become rigid, but not reach full strength. The curing time is the time it takes for the epoxy chemical reaction to end (true epoxies are chemical reactions) and reach full strength, typically 24 hours.
