Default RE: Epoxy or Gorilla or Cyano????

I did not specify CA in the manual because I did not test it. It would probably work OK if you can get good penetration, but honestly I find epoxy much easier to clean up. Just use alcohol to wipe off epoxy.

The other nice thing about epoxy is you can get decent working time with it. I usually use 30 minute stuff for a job like this, it allows 5-10 minute working time but I don't have to wait overnight for it to cure.

A word of warning; I live in Texas and my workshop is not air conditioned (explaining why nothing much gets done in the summer). Even slow set epoxy only lasts about 2-3 minutes in this heat. You can get more working time if you put the epoxy in the fridge before you mix it.
