epoxies. 5 minute mostly useless, it sets too fast and does not penetrate the wood surfaces too deeply. strength is lacking compared to other epoxies.......
I found that too. But rather than disagree with you; try coating both surfaces with epoxy and then join them and work the glue into the wood with a toothpick. The strength is tremendous for the time it requires...... Maybe you did that anyways.... but it has worked very well for me in the last couple months. Ya can't beat the 30 minute epoxy for shear strength though.
And while the subject is open, what in the world does aliphatic mean anyways? While I was searching for a glue to bond sheeting I went to the LHS and announced that I wanted aliphatic glue. You'da thought I asked for kryptonite or something.... Nevertheless, I didn't get any.
dictionary.com says this, but it doesn't mean anything to me. Is is an ingredient in the glue that can be read on the label? or a property of the glue?
