New old bass(Rickodyne Reloaded)

Saw this (old) thread (nice bass design!) and was curious about this technical point - what brand is the adhesive you mentioned? Is it a two part epoxy? I'm looking for something to bond plastic and bone (for a custom bridge) and wonder if the adhesive you used would work better than super-glue or standard epoxy from the hardware store.

Look up 3M and Loctite epoxies. They both make a number of very good epoxies each with different qualities. Either are a syringe type setup and you have to purchase a dispenser but they’re not expensive.

wow, blast from the past! The adhesive is AAR Composites ATR525. Jet black, cures about as hard as glass and only $400 for a gallon kit ;) We use that stuff all the time at our aviation cabinet shop and I'm sure I just grabbed some excess from someone's batch before it had a chance to set up. Polyester resin would have been just as good and I'm sure regular titebond would have done just fine too.
