how tough is that shit? I never actually used it on anything before. I wanna throw some in the baseplate of a blocked mag since i obviously cant weld a polymer mag

Strong as hell!!!!

Used steel epoxy to place two rod's in the sides, to reinforce the front of my fiberglass M-14 stock.

It's a method used to strengthen the front of the stock for better stability.

That shit isn't coming out of there until long after I'm dead!

I'm a big fan of PC-7.  It will bond just about any material to any other material.....no lie.  It's super tough when cured, and can be sanded, tinted, sculpted, etc.  I've used it for many applications, even permanently fixed a few CTR stocks.

so there is different strengths?

I have this Loctite brand Epoxy in a tube that has 2 nozzles, i suppose you mix that. Not sure how good it is, i just have it laying around unopened

I use "JB Weld" with much success. If you have a lil' guy who's rough on his toys, you'll know what I mean.

The stuff that you have sounds like a "5-minute" type epoxy.  The 2 parts are probably semi-transparent with one part being somewhat cloudy and the other kind of yellowish....right?  PC-7 and JB Weld are both paste type epoxy, much thicker and stronger when cured, with a longer work time.  It depends on what you're doing with it.  For light stuff I'd use the type you have, for tougher jobs, go with the paste type industrial epoxy.

Devcon is also as strong as hell... a few of their metal products can be drilled, machined, etc. with no problem.

I used Devcon steel epoxy to bed the action and behind the recoil lug on my Savage 30-06 synthetic stock. Has held up just fine so far.
