Open your mind youngster.

Here's a strength test I conducted before using Devcon two-part epoxy to attach the ram rod pipes to the barrel of the Swamp Dragon.

I epoxied a piece of aluminum tubing to a chunk of steel.



After letting it cure for 48 hours, I tried to pull it apart, and could not. Out of curiosity, I rigged it up so I could stand on a scale as I pulled, with a rod through the tube and a C-clamp on the metal block secured to the deck. I don't recall how many pounds I was able to pull, but it was a lot. The parts did not separate.





Here's where I used the epoxy on the Swamp Dragon Build.
