I like this stuff, you need the gun to go with it.

The thing is with using resin that you have to be disciplined. As in drill as many holes as you can, clear them out with a proper puffer. Have your studs cut and distributed around next to each hole. Then go for it! Screw on a nozzle, pump out a bit so it mixes to the right consistency. Do this on a scrap of timber of card. 

 

Pump into hole, stud in and ideally wipe off any excess that comes out. Better than having to knock lumps off later (delegate! ) I sometimes even masking tape the stud if bolting something thin up. Keep the process going so the resin doesn't have time to harden in the nozzle. Have a new tube with you so you can swap over quick without having to use a new nozzle.
