I think this is the 5-minute epoxy he's describing (from PE)....

That is very similar to the epoxy that I used. I can vouch that it will hold extremely well to the wood and metal insert. Make sure not to get any epoxy on the threads though.

5 minute epoxy isn't going to let you be "slow and steady" :P It's great for fixing one T-nut, but if you are installing a full set, you may want a longer set time.

I used 15 minute epoxy and mixed up 2 batches so I could do 4 T-nuts at a time. That way I could be "slow and steady". Epoxy is dry this morning and those T-nuts aren't going anywhere :)

The epoxy is usually available at hobby shops in 5, 15, 30, 45 and 90 minute cure times. Trust me, when your working with something that sets in 5 minutes, that time goes by a lot quicker than you realize.

Myn, I've followed the whole thread this far, I gotta say thanks for all your detail on the build. I'll be digging in to several 24" tht very soon and I've learned plenty from posts like yours and others. I'm really liking the support of this community. Great job!
Best,
Drey
