Default Which Adhesive ?

Hello,

Hard to describe in words, but let me give you a general descripton of what
I am attempting.

Have a Nikon Coolpix 3100 camera where the very small U shape bracket that
holds the battery door closed has snapped off. Seems to be a very common
problem.

I think I can possibly repair it by cutting a stiff piece of metal wire (was
thinkinking of snipping a sewing needle to the right length (about 1/8" as
this is the stiffest small dia stiff metal I can think of) and gluing it
across the top of the broken bracket. The bracket is plastic.

Do you think Eastman 910 or an epoxy would hold better ?

Would Eastman 910 hold around the metal needle ?
I seem to remember with this stuff you really need two very flat pieces for
it work; that it won't fill in any gaps. Or, has the formulation changed a
bit by now that it does have some gap-filling capability ?

Thanks,
Bob
