Devcon 2 Ton®

The last of my four glues to test is Devcon 2 Ton® epoxy.  The instructions start out recommending to roughen THEN clean the surfaces.  This is the first product to put those two steps in the correct order.

Done (before and after pictures, respectively).  The next instruction is to use the caps to puncture the tips.  This really doesn't need photos, does it?  Then, one is to squeeze a drop out of each tube so that the drops are the same size.  I thought I would be smart and use my jeweler's scale, which goes down to thousandths of a gram.  Unfortunately, a drop of resin weighs less than that, so I had to visually approximate the two drops.  This is to be thoroughly mixed and then applied to "surface(s)."  This is a bit ambiguous.  Am I supposed to apply the epoxy to both pieces, or are they suggesting multiple repairs?  I chose the former . . .

. . . but used too much.  If I end up using the epoxy technique, there is going to be a lot of waste.  Another advantage of the epoxy method is a cure time of only 12 hours instead of 24 or 72, as with the other products.  In 12 hours, then, I should be back from work and able to test this seal, and you can see the results of the test here.
