Oliver,
Hi, evening. Just another number for you to try - 9464, over here in the UK 9462 is very expensive and has just gone up in price, the 9464 is identical in almost all specs but mixes to a grey thixotropic paste instead of cream, does mean you know when its totally mixed though! If you can get it cheaper than the 9462 then its really superb gear.
I have the latest Hysol catalogues but no 'E' prefix epoxies so will check with the Hysol rep tomorrow and check them out - like you I use a 20min two part thixo epoxy for almost all work other than high stress applications, great for this hobby.
PS hatch catches being posted tomorrow.

Thanks for the great feedback Marc.
The nomenclature that I have described is for the USA market. The E reference probably sells under another name in the UK.
I purchase all my glue in the USA. 9462 is relatively cheap there.
Thank you for reminding me of the 9462 problem:
This glue reference often comes with a boxing default. Some air is trapped in the tube, giving a possible wrong mixing randomly.
Two tips to avoid being trapped:
1) Check the mix colour when it comes out of the tip.
2) Place all the cartridges nose up in the oven at 50°c for one hour. Then remove them and centrifugate them one by one by holding it ans rotating your arm as fast as possible in circles. Store nose up. This works perfectly well. When you first sqeeze the cartridge, do it in a paper tissue until both side glue get out of the cartridge tip.
