I used any 5 minute epoxy to do repairs in the past. I used JB Weld this time because it had a little more in the syringe than Loctite and it had something like 800 psi more strength. I used one for the handle and one for the head with waste on both ends but I would rather waste than have it set in the middle of doing it. Also, you need to rotate it until it sets to get a nice even look so it would just be difficult to do both ends at once.

Jim, come on bro. There is no rounding in blood loss. Everyone knows it is 0.49021 ounces per inch or 0.2808 ounces per pound. Well, maybe there is rounding in your fish stories LOL
