delrin/epoxy question

I just ordered some delrin rods. I was just wonder is there a certain type of epoxy that I should be using? Something that works best with delrin?

Knowing absolutely nothing about epoxy I don't even know if there are different kinds for sure. I just though I'd ask before running out trying to buy something and finding out there is a whole isle dedicated to the fine art of epoxy use. :lol:

I have recently found an epoxy made by Loctite formulated for plastics. It sets in 7 minutes, and reaches full cure 24 hours later. The bond is very good and strong, and I like it a lot. Does it make a difference from generic epoxy? I don't know. I have also used T-88 in the past, which is an excellent epoxy that takes 24 hours to fully cure.

You can also use CA glue - aka super glue, or instant glue. Todd posted something on that subject a while back describing his process.
