> >my instincts would run towards epoxy, slight pun intended. From my exposure to CA it is more brittle than epoxy I have done several bridge repairs using epoxy - one was from the hardware and was two part "steel" repair. It was dark grey. That one is still holding up. Since then I use the West Systems and use phenolic beads for filler if necessary. The West Systems will flow and capillary extremely well. It also is good when you can't be sure of getting an old glue joint clean enough to repair in a traditional manner. I've not had any repairs of this sort break down - some going on 10 years or so.
