My advice is not dispose of it. While it might not be airworthy it is an
amazing adhesive. I stuck a handle back on a collender with redux which
had been open at least 5 years thinking that it would last a couple of
weeks what with cycles of the dishwasher etc. That was 5 years ago and it
shows no sign of softening or loosening its grip.
As for epoxy i believe that all epoxies are basically similar. Anyway i
used local colombian epoxy designed for insulating transformers to fill my
control surfaces. The owner chemist of the company told me that if it
cures itll be fine for that purpose.
