I do not have any experience with Skinners Epoxy, so I need info about curing temperature, time and any other things necessary to know on the procedure.
I will use it on a couple of C can motors now first.
Skinners epoxy procedure?

Me either, but I was building ceramic magnet motors. Skinner's is supposed to be even better.

Speedy, JB Weld is staying vintage. I still remember the Slick 7 building articles that specified using JB Weld. Are you using the long-drying type or the fast-drying?

JB weld does not do the job . Eventually it fails and you end up with a destroyed motor.

It’s fine for G12 and below as long as you use non silver solder and no acid flux on motor installs. G27 and above definitely need Koford epoxy or equivalent for magnets. Anything will fail eventually with acid flux.
