    I did and got 3,5000,000 hits. What product do I  look under? I don't 
know what you're referring to. A specific url would be  immensely helpful.

All Epoxy's creep over time with load and will quickly fail.

Sheesh. I got all panicky for practically  nothing but I'd still like to take 
a look at the info. Tnx.
