Anyone used anything other than MT 13, can't find it locally and shipping is almost half the price of the epoxy?

I just used the 5ton stuff they sell at wally world, but every time I draw the bow for the first time, I hear a creak, the epoxy cracking, kinda un-nerving    "[dntthnk]"  Don't think I'd do that again.

I have used JB Weld with good results.I roughed everything up with a hacksaw blade and cleaned it up with Acetone.No problems.

Thanks,I guess if it's worth doing, it's worth doing it right.

I've used G2 with pretty good results.

JB Weld for me, too. I clean it with acetone and sand it a little with 150 grt. emory cloth.

Shocked all the JB users.  But after thinking about it, would would fill any voids you got nicely.  I wonder if this MT-13 I bought is just a waste.

JB Weld is just good epoxy with fine metal mixed in I think.

It has been several years since I used the sleeve system, I used Devcon Plastic Steel.  It worked great and is a little thicker than JB Weld.  I used it on five or six bows and as far as I know they are still going strong.
