Thanks for the explanation.  Now, if I could just figure out what an 'old vacuum cleaner spray gun' is I can die happy ;)

For those outside the orbit of British materials, Araldite is a quite
good epoxy patching material.  In the US JB Weld is a good substitute
although it takes longer to harden.  Probably the quick version would
do fine in this situation.

Araldite is very widely available.  I got some a few years back in an
almost invisible shop on the island of Iona, Scotland.  It worked.
