Open times and set times are available from the manufacturer. Ultimate 
strength figures too, though it would be nice to have all this on the 
bottles. What isn't available ANYWHERE is such superfluous and 
uninteresting information as the Shore hardness of the glue after 
curing, for comparison. Hence the eternal random uninformed speculation 
of what dries hard, what creeps, what can be sharpened into the best 
tool for cleaning fish, etc.
