  A note about glueing stuff..  


One thing I've noticed, in doing a lot of work with epoxy, is that the 
slightest trace of grease, fingerprints or dirt can make a huge 
difference in how good your bond ends up, especially on smooth stuff 
like glass or metal.

So, make sure both surfaces are REALLY CLEAN, wipe off and scrub with 
rubbing alcohol or some such, before gluing, and you'll give whatever 
you use the best chance to last.
