Hello Matt - 

JH>> more recently, "Gorilla Glue" or such. I wish I knew more
JH>> about what some of these newer adhesives can do. 

MM> I'm NOT satisfied with "Gorilla Glue", too much 'foam', and
MM> not enough strength. I've been experimenting with some
MM> other brands of 'Polyurethane Cement', particularly
MM> "Elmers" brand, which has much less foaming and possibly
MM> more strength. 

MM> So far though nothing beats plain old cheap epoxy. :-)) 

35 or so years ago FoMoCo forgot to arrange for a boss to exist
to mount a part to the engine so they created an epoxy that
could withstand 700 degF. After this they sold the formula to
Maraset. This epoxy was used by Dyna-Rewind to glue the
windings on the armatures of their slot car racing motors. 

If Maraset still exists as a company that epoxy might be useful.
