I have seen a bunch of threads refer to using epoxy to make minor repairs, sometimes I have read the term structural epoxy.
Some examples of repairs are: filling an over countersunk hole and redrilling, or filling it with epoxy, then setting the dimple and rivet wet (to fill the void), or when using a doubler on a enlarged hole, setting the rivet with epoxy wet so that it fills any void.
I assume you want something rigid, but not so rigid that it is brittle and will crumble when the parts invariably expand and contract.
I'm looking for what are the specific epoxies people are talking about when doing the above types of repairs. Sure there is the clear 5 minute stuff at the local store, but is that appropriate?
Thanks!
