Has anyone had luck with epoxy rather than welding these back in place?

It seems to me that packing the void with a paste epoxy, let cure and then
secure it with a screw from the back of the bracket through the rail and into
the other side of the bracket.

The bass hammer rail was extremely flexible. I installed a brace between
the hammer rail and letoff rail (jpg available).

I hate these rails,
