Are there better adhesives out there these days?

Better epoxies. They've been around as long as Araldite, just not so
obvious in retail packs.

Get a 16 quid West System small pack (search this newsgroup last week)
from Axminster, and some of their fillers too. I use about one of
these a year. Also search online for advice on filling it. A thin
epoxy works better and is stronger than Araldite, and you can thicken
it appropriately as needed.

Then there's UV-cure glue, which is coming up fast. Two grand's worth
of curing light is now down to 80 quid (search eBay under dentistry)
and the stuff is both strong and practically instant. Great for glass.
