But I do an amazing amount of work with WEST 206.  Even things that you'd 
think of as structural - like putting in bulkheads - is really a secondary 
bond.  WEST isn't as strong as the structural epoxies, but in most cases, 
where you're attaching one thing that's already been made to another thing 
that's already been made, WEST actually adheres better than the structural 
stuff.  Since the weak point isn't the strength of the epoxy but the 
strength of the bond, WESTcan, in those cases, actually end up stronger.
