The surfaces we're trying to mate really aren't flat to begin with. The ultor flange sticks out from the glass portions at a 90 degree angle. We'd be filling in the cracks that occur near those joints. I doubt very much we'll ever stumble across a perfect material for sealing these tubes, so there is going to be some kludging in any case. The properties of the Epotek still look a bit more promising to me, except for the rather low temperature it can tolerate without breakdown.
