Default 5 minute resin, 30 minute hardener. Huh?

I bought a box of Pacer 5 minute Z-Poxy and a box of Pacer 30 minute Z-Poxy. I opened the 30 min to glue my landing gear assembly in due to the high stress possable. When I went to clean up latter I read the bottles I used. One said "30 minute hardener formula". The other said "5 minute resin formula". I said "..." .
I opened the 5 min box. It had one 5 min hardener and one 5 min resin. Either Pacer boxed the 30 minute wrong or the resins are the same and only the hardener is different.
The remaining epoxy in the cup seems to have hardened normally. At least as far as I can tell from the 'scratch it with a fingernail test'.
I'm looking for reassurance. I don't want my gear to fall off. Anyone run into this before?
This is my first and last Pacer product.

Yes, resin is the same. It's the hardener that is different.

The email from Pacer. I appreciated their reply.

Doug,
Yes - you are correct in that we did have some 5 minute bottles packed in
the wrong box, but the material in the bottles is the 30 minute resin.
Fortunately, we caught this very quickly and only a few bottles where
shipped out. Your project is in no danger.
Sorry about the confusion.
Regards,
Greg Lindsay
