best glue for replacing a knot

hey all of you knotheads out there

the knot came loose from my wife's pewter c&e today

it's firmly inside an inner ring - metal of some sort - that fits inside the handle

no damage to anything that i can see

what's the best thing to use to cement it back in there?

any help much appreciated

I use a two part water proof epoxy resin, the stuff that sets in 15-20 minutes.

hardware store?

Walmart sells it in the automotive section (near the radio electronics). They also sell it in the tool section. Home Depot and Lowe's would also carry it.

I'll typically use marine epoxy, but if you have any five-minute epoxy lying around that'll work just fine. Anyway, you should be able to find epoxy just about anywhere: hardware stores, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's just to name a few.

Around here convenience stores are refered to as Stop & Rob

I use Devcon 5 min 2-part epoxy, can be found in many stores. I get mine in a specialty tool store, but supposedly Walmart carries it as well.

I use the Devcon 2 ton clear waterproof epoxy. The local hardware store (Ace Hardware) carries it. I think the set time is 30 mins. IMO, it works very well.

Marine grade epoxy

I found some 5-minute epoxy by Super-Glue that's been in a workbench drawer for years. It worked just fine on two brushes.

An electronics lab where I used to work has all varieties of Hardman epoxy in one-use envelopes. They used it for covering and protecting instrumentation that was exposed to the elements, among other things. It was great for assembling golf clubs, but all the people I knew there have retired...
