Red face Oh man!!!
Dude-I'm sorry, but sitting here-reading your post-I am laughing my fool head off. Holy Cow!!! I know everyone who reads it is nodding their head because they know exactly what you're going through and TOTALLY feel your pain!!!

(Don't even get me started on how many times I've glued my fingers together with "quick set" epoxy that isn't as quick as it should be-until I have gotten it all over the place...in my hair...on my clothes....random pieces of furniture....the dog....It doesn't work so well on what it's supposedly for, but it'll sure stick other things together!)

You've both got me laughing!
I've been using the AquaStik Epoxy Putty by Two Little Fishies. It's not great, but it's better than anything else I've tried.

I know, it's one step above using chewing gum as an adhesive. Where's Macgyver when you need him!!

Which epoxy are you using. There is two kinds. One is a single stick containing both parts of the epoxy. This one REALLY sucks. As soon as it hits the water it losses all its stick. The other has the two sticks of stuff that you combine. This one works much better IME, although it to has its limitations. You may need to temporarily brace the pieces over night while the epoxy hardens.
