Would epoxy be stronger than Titebond or other yellow aliphatic glues? Berley If you are able to achieve a perfect mating between the old and new wood - no rocking, no gaps, etc. - aliphatic(Titebond) should work fine. Given the fact that this is not real easily accomplished, if in doubt, use a good epoxy - NOT the 5-minute stuff. Dowel it if you want, but it is probably unnecessary if the jointery is good. I would certainly be tempted to explore the possibility of relocating the screw hole, but you are there, I am not. Circumstances usually, if not always, dictate the course of action.
