[Shop-talk] Epoxy recommendations?

My dishwasher has a 1/8" shaft on its main motor that drives the  
impeller. The impeller is on a plastic shaft that slides over the  
motor's shaft. There are, well, used to be splines to keep these two  
parts rotating at the same speed, but after 8 years of Extreme  
Dishwashing the plastic splines have worn out and squeals like a stuck  
pig (no pig in the DW, I checked).

In frigidaire's infinite bean counting wisdom they made it impossible  
to obtain just the wearable plastic shaft; I need to replace the whole  
motor. So I'm looking to epoxy the shafts together. Will A + B work?  
What if it's about 15 years old? Is there something better than A + B?  
It's a high torque application and I can only do this once.

thanks,
jim
