Ithink there is a lot of hype about Hysol and you can get the feeling that it is bulletproof and it isn't.

Ihad a bumpy landing recently and my nosegear former half ripped out. Ineeded to remove the former completely and just gave it a hard tug and it came off in my hand. This former was glued in with hand mixed Hysol.

Istill use it but I think, for the majority of our purposes, the quality of the joint preparation is much more important than whether you use Hysol or good quality slow setting epoxy.
