Generally the rule has been that the longer the drying time, the stronger the epoxy. I personally use 15-20 minute epoxies. I haven’t had the scales come off a knife in 15 years. There was a recent thread on the Blade Forums http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=337504&highlight=adhesives and another, I believe, on Knife Netweorks.com www.knifenetwork.com about epoxies and it was really enlightening.

When do you use an epoxy vs. an acrylic electrocoat?

Electocoat Association - FAQ's
Most of the time we see electrocoating being applied for one of two reasons. As a primer for other top coatings or as a single protective coating for components. Examples of the latter are under-body or under-hood automotive or other equipment components. Epoxy will perform best for these purposes. However, epoxy will form a chalk film on the surface if it is exposed to the ultraviolet rays from sunlight for a relatively short period of time.

Chocolate & Candy Making Knowledgebase
For many years it was common practice to combine paraffin wax with chocolate to make a more durable chocolate for coating candy. A common ratio was 6 parts chocolate to 1 part paraffin. The FDA has since banned this practice, so an entire industry has evolved to produce coatings which don't contain non food products. These generally contain vegetable oils and fats in place of cocoa butter which makes them less temperature sensitive and much easier to work with.

A basic Epoxy system consists of two main elements namely an EPOXY RESIN and a CATALYST (HARDENER).
