What's the exact USA equivalent of Araldite? A quick web
search showed that it's used here by name to embed biological
specimens for sectioning, but it also appears there are
quite a few species of Araldite apart from the five-minute
and seven-hour varieties.

What color is Araldite? Is it a two-part black-and-white epoxy
like "JB Weld" that sets as grey? Or is it clear to amber,
like those that come in dual syringes?
