Devcon 5 minute half fails.
I pulled my test piece from my heat treat oven that is in my cold garage. The last heat cycle was 175F for one hour last weekend and since then it's been around 20f to 40F in my garage. I took it and whacked them all again -- which I'm starting to enjoy -- and we had half of a failure. The Devcon 2 Ton failed early, today the Devcon 5 minute half failed. Just about 1/2 of the test piece of broke in half and popped off aftera couple whacks.

The ones people have been rooting for, Acra Glass and shafting epoxy still look very good. The wood is getting pretty chipped up the rest are still holding strong. So far, if you can manage the mess, gorilla glue looks pretty good between both Steves tests and mine.
Personally, I'm rooting for shafting epoxy.

I just put the test piece into the dishwasher. I'll keep you posted.

Steve, let's hope you use all of that dymond wood up in these tests so it never ends up on a knife handle..
