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

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