Glue for internal footing carbons?

Hi,
I am putting some internal footing of hardwood into my carbon shafts as per Doc Ashby and O.L.'s great ideas.  I was wondering what kind of epoxy do you guys use to do this?  Can I use Loc-Tite or should I get a Le Page epoxy or what?  I want something that I have a few minutes to get things set just right. I hate playing "2 second glue up madness"
Any suggestions would be great this is my first set of carbons and I don't have any experience gluing them up.

Thanks,
Allan

I used to build golf clubs and used a slower set epoxy on the graphite shafts. Check out a golf supply store. There is one inthe west end of ottawa that the name escapes me at the moment. they are on industrial I believe.

Allan, the best I've used has been JB Weld.  Two part mix, slow set up.  Glue to day and use tomorrow.  I've never had a failure with JB Weld on carbon shafting.

Any slow set 2 part epoxy. I use smooth-on but JB would work just as well. Any of your CA's would be too brittle....O.L.
