That $80 rod guide adhesive I bought off the supplier was a total scam
Picked up some fancy bonding agent from a traveling salesman at a job site in Gary last spring. Supposed to hold rod guides on boiler tubes without any issues. Well, three weeks later I found two guides loose and one had completely fallen off into the ash pit. Cost me an extra 4 hours on a Saturday to redo it all with the old epoxy I've always used. Has anyone else had bad luck with those newer adhesives that claim to save time?

Nah, I'm gonna push back here. Those new adhesives work fine if you prep the surface right and give 'em the full cure time (most people rush it, you know?).

Ditch those new fancy adhesives and go back to the old epoxy you trust. I learned that same hard lesson years ago and never looked back.
