Epotek #301 is a high grade, extra low viscosity epoxy designed for gluing
together optic elements.  Lay a little on a crack and it gets sucked in.  I
can't imagine not having it around for all types of repair.  It's very
strong.  Great for bridge repair.

If you use epoxy in conjunction with fitting the block to the plate flange I
recommend mixing #301 with the West System colloidal silica.  This makes a
low density gel that it extremely hard when set. The low density gel allows
the epoxy to squeeze completely out of any area where the block is fitting
the flange.

Epoxy Technology in Billerica, MA makes it.  (508) 667-3805
