So far i was using a UHU plus endfest 300... it is 300kg/cm2 epoxy 2 components glue... it was o.k. until yesterday i found out that one of my pipes snapped on a shank extension even if i had a plug inside... so, i don't trust the glue anymore...
can somebody please tell me what is the best epoxy glue to use... (i can't remember one i was reading long time ago - some guys were talking about that glue... an industrial one or something - not sure) ... i need a glue i can trust with...
PLEASE HELP...
regards

Hi Daniel,
at the moment I use the 2-component glue of Janzen http://www.janzen-pfeifen.de/frameset.html. I cannot say whether is better, but it is in the pipe construction already very long in use. I had up to now no problems with it, however, it frees itself at high temperatures (stem bend), but many make this.

I use T-88 and haven't had any failures with it to date. You can get it at woodcraft.com.

Peter - Janzen .. hmmm... will think about it also... i might go for T-88 in either way because i have seen that guys like to use it (read: it is reliable) ... i don't know about Janzen glue... will have to check...
guys - thank you...

I am using this product from ebay UK 370535352407. It works well but does not like to be heated, as when doing contrast staining.

Somewhere on here is a link placed by Walle for a German glue company that he buys from, you might want to search for it or send him a pm.

DMI - thanks for the info - i will ask Walle directly...
i really need something dead sure and dead reliable.....

Thanks Jos - it seems that i might be able to get T88 afterall... i am in the middle of arrangements with them ... will see...

i also got a message from Walle with his answer regarding Starbond .... thanks guys...

Consider a glue in the urethane family. Sold here in the states as "Gorilla Glue" as well as other brand names. This stuff will glue almost anything.

thanks

You didn't mention what materials you are bonding.

If you are bonding wood-to-wood, I would use Titebond III. If bonding dis-similar materials, epoxy is used by a lot of folks.

i need epoxy...
...
the problem with glue is solved - thank you guys and best regards
