I once used Duco 5 minute epoxy glue on a dragon figure to attach the wings
(with a couple of small pins). Someone dropped it, and the wing broke off, not
at the glue joint but about a half-inch up the wing. So, in effect, the glue
joint was stronger than the metal wing!

When just using the two-parter for glueing purposes instead of
modeling (since I've rarely used it for this purpose myself), I'm
curious how thinly you make the layer of putty to achive a strong bond
without it squeezeing out over other areas of the model.

Also, if you've had this kind of experiance, how well does putty hold
up to glue if the model is accidently dropped?
