Any thoughts on Devcon gel epoxy? I'm new to planes, but I've been building fishing rods for years and Devcon 2 ton is the best thing I've found for attaching cork grips to glass or graphite blanks.

My first plane is a Lil Rascal and the horizontal stab simply lays on a notch cut into the rear of the fuse. Aside from driving me crazy with alignment issues, there are also what I would consider some largish gaps that I want to make sure are filled and I'm afraid my trusty 2 ton is too thin to get that job done.

I thought about changing the assembly sequence by joining the vertical and horizontal pieces first as this would really help with the alignment issues, but then I have very little surface left on which to rest any weights to hold the assembly to the fuse when it's glued up to insure horizontal alignment.

Any and all thoughts and/or advice on both glue and assembly method would be greatly appreciated.
