Epoxy brand-name suggestions?

[Eight Thumbs]

Hi Folks,

I've finally used up the last of my now nameless bottles of epoxy on an army of Copper Johns that I've been tying for a couple of friends. Whatever brand I had was a 30-minute epoxy and it seemed relatively resistant to yellowing. What brand of epoxy are you guys using these days? I'm looking for an epoxy that is readily available, five to six dollars for a generous quantity and resistant to yellowing. Brand name suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am not looking to get into that blue-light acrylic stuff because of the expense. Much thanks in advance to all. 8T

devcon is a good brand

is the epoxy really necessary? fish aren't asking for it.

I have been using devcon 5 minute epoxy and have been very happy with the results. I find the devcon 10 minute epoxy to be good as well, but prefer the 5 minute as it fits my needs.

I use whatever Walmart or Big Lot has the best price on; I get the twin syringe type to get accurate mixing and it doesn't last long enough to yellow in the container or on the fly. The twin syringe is probably more expensive than other methods but the mix comes out right about everytime.

I tried one of the single syringe epoxies and it wouldn't mix right, so stick with the two syringe type.

I like the Devcon brand 60 minute epoxy best. I find that the longer curing epoxies seem to yellow less with age especially after curing and it gives me much more working time so I can get several flies out of one batch.
