Congratulations on the new build! It looks great! I love the red leds.
I noticed you used 2 part epoxy. I too used that on my grips. I also construct most of my stuff in my basement as well. The humidity really screws with the epoxy cure.
Some times it's 2 days before it's fully cured. I have now switched over to e6000 silicone. Which is like a super strong glue. It seems to do super well in basement weather.
If you ever have a problem with the epoxy, I highly recommend the e6000. I'll never go back lol

I love e6000. My basement isn't overly humid most of the time. I can get epoxy to be sturdy enough to handle in about an hour down there. But as soon as it's done it goes upstairs and I'm sure that the epoxy really finishes curing up there. I'll try e6000 on the next one I build, I didn't think that it would be strong enough to handle. Epoxy is kind of a pain to use.
In my experience the e6000 holds better then the epoxy. When I go to weather the grips I throw it down my stone drive way. I've had grips literally "pop" off the flash with epoxy. The e6000 I have had real good luck with
Again I'm not saying ones better then the other.
I like the epoxy because I can tint it with black caulk. But with the e6000 if any silicone comes out from underneath you can cut it with a razor blade with ease
Each are good products, I'm not knocking either of them.
Btw I look forward to your next set of videos!!
