I was researching the properties of Hysol 9339 vs 9430 (the stuff Aircraft Spruce sells) and noted:

                        Hysol 9339   vs  9430

Tensile Lap Shear Strength     4500 psi   4700 psi
Peel Strength                    20 lb/in   62 lb/in
Working Time                    2.5 hrs     40 min


According to Dave Godfrey (Dexter-Hysol Aerospace Technical support @925-458-8278) when they formulated the 9339 to get a longer working time they got a reduced peel strength over the 9430.

Seeing these numbers, for small applications (not closeout of wings etc) would not the 9430 seem to be a better candidate?
