    I was unable to get 105 icw 209 so i looked for a alternative epoxy.

    With similar end strength properties an slow hardning like west 105 / 209.

    Thanks Mike. Yes much better this time thanks to help on this forum. Something to note - I edited it out because it didn’t work but I had an electric sander in the vice (no paper) inverted which I rested the Epoxymatic container on but it just fizzed the water bath and the epoxy did nothing. I think the sander was too strong and the epoxy was isolated by the rubber washer. Mixing slowly, draining from the bottom (I mixed a bit more than I needed), and using a stick to pop the bubbles all helped.
    Getting up close there is still the occasional small bubble but it is much better than before.
    Need to leave it a week or two and not be tempted . . .

    Very nice and what patience, I have done a similar thing with a plastic jug with a hole in the side with tape over it then removed the tape for the pour. Nice work with the broken tap as well
