Default brass to glass - best adhesive

I need some advice on adhering glass drawer knobs to brass knob
posts. They are frosted glass knobs epoxied on to brass posts. The
fit between the knobs and posts is not perfect, so I need a glue that
is gap-filling.

I have been using some 5-minute epoxy, but it doesn't seem to work all
that well on the glass, as the knobs pull apart after a while, leaving
the epoxy on the brass. I want to machine the old epoxy off the posts
so I will have a purely glass-to-brass joint.

Any suggestions for a gap-filling adhesive for glass to brass?



Real, slow cure araldite / epoxy is much stronger than the 5 minute
version.


Seconded.


Some urethanes - sika - may be useful.


Seconded. Even some moisture-cure polyurethanes are good gap-fillers. The
ones marketed in the US as "Gorilla Glue"
