Epoxy for lips

Is everyone pretty much using epoxy to glue them in place? What products is everyone using to get the lip in place and have a nice clean look. I find for me epoxy is heavy and squeezes out when putting the lip in place.

I havent been glueing them in at all. For me, the thru wire holds it in place with a tight tail wrap.

I use the Devcon 5 minute....you just need a very, very little bit so you don't have the ooze problem....then just clean it up with a toothpick if it oozes a little

I use a small dab of "marine goop" if the lip needs to be held in place, usually the through-wire holds it tight enough though
