I have cut to length my carbon paddle and need to glue the handle in.
The glue I have in the shed says not suitable for certain materials.
What glue should I use that wont react badly to the carbon?
I have also found some 5min araldite in the two tube syringe mix thingy but it has no instructions on it. Would this be ok to use?
Any suggestions?

If I was glueing up a carbon paddle, I would bu west system epoxy. Not sure where you can get it in WA but should be some where. Another good epoxy is SP115. If you buy west system, buy the pumps which give you the correct ratio's. Perfect mix every time. Quality stuff.

Hey thanks for the suggestions. I ended up using 5min araldite and it seems to be on nice and tight. Just gotta try it now
