I have examples of 20-year-old bonds of 5-minute epoxy up at the shop,
and the bonds are still stronger than the substrate material.

I had some that turned to goo, just as I said.

A friend, who used to work at Stanford Research Center, researched
epoxies and told me this about quick-cure epoxies.

Another point is to watch the temperature on ambient-cure epoxies, as
they lose much of their strength above about 150 F.
