Anything can be done badly, even with first rate materials. That doesn't 
make it the materials' fault.

I've mentioned it a number of times on list. It's another Franklin 
product. High solids, fast set, dries cracking hard, heat sets so would 
be a good choice for high production RF cure as well as general 
woodwork. Like TB 50, you can probably get it fairly cheaply from 
Franklin in 5 gallon lots, or from M&H in quarts. It's an interesting 
glue, and worth a try.
