Adrian, it looks like you can get this stuff at some home depot stores,
apparently in the plumbing section. On another note, I've had okay results
with the loc-tite brand stuff that's also available off the shelf at HD (I
tend to go for the stuff that's wet applicable, which might explain my
success with it re: the brittle issue), but it really depends how much
stress you're planning to put on the joint. If it's minimum diameter or
you're otherwise expecting super-high accelerations and mach+ speeds, I'd
reevaluate it....if you're staying below mach and you're using a robust fin
attachment like TTW, you should be fine. Also, all the putties are
actually A+B, just some of them combine it into one "log" of putty, with
the hardener in the outside layer, usually the colored layer, then the
epoxy is the core and is usually white or at least lighter-colored....you
use a plastic knife or something to chop off a little section of the log
and just knead it together until it's homogeneous.

Thanks Alexander and Mike!
I can’t get the Amazon order to work (and have been using Prime for years)
so they may not have it in stock for same day. They do have A+B epoxy putty.
It’s for fin fillets and what I’ve read is that some putty is too brittle
and the fillets break off.

Adrian, looks like you're in luck, there's a rocketry forum post where a
guy gives a brief review of this exact product:
