Default RE: A question about 5 min. epoxy.

5 minute is likely fine on 40- 60 size aircraft. I believe 5 minute is also a bit more brittle, making it less ideal for wing joints and landing gear areas.
On my old joined paneled 40 size airplanes, I never had one fail, even on severe crash days...
Also brand types and proper mix ratios play a key role here.
