Let the battle begin !! :dev:
I am making birdsmouth mast tip & lower insert for a stayless mast - 80 x 2mm T6 Ally flagpole.
I will seal the inside & outside of these pieces with epoxy but for the assembly glue itself....
There are some machining error gaps in the birdsmouth cut that will need filling.

Epoxy or polyurethane glue ?
Or for that matter, an acrylic building adhesive ?
My leaning is towards PU because it won't blunt the plane which will be used to shape & round the parts, nor the saw which will cut the long "V" in the lower insert.

For strength in gap filling, PU seems to be about par with acrylic building adhesive. Pretty good, but well short of epoxy...
What say you ?
