Epoxy

In Response To: Re: Paddle: Adding hardwood tips (Kudzu)

Not sure if the shop I use has clamps that can be worked that way, but I'll check. In the event I end up needing to go with epoxy, will the waterproof epoxies like Marine Loctite available at big box stores work? I don't have secondary uses for stuff like West Systems right now, so I'd just as soon not invest in that.

Thanks guys

: Titebond will work just fine but it does require it be clamped. I
: have pipe clamps so I just screw a couple together to get the
: length I need. I never use dowels or splines and only broke one
: tip but it wood broke, not the glue joint.

: If you don't have a way to clamp it tight, I would use epoxy, it
: fills gaps better.
