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.
