Brass does not play well with epoxies. If I recall correctly it is
the copper that causes the problem. You can buy epoxy that is
especially formulated to work with copper at your big box store. It
is sold to glue copper pipe so look for it in the plumbing section.
About two or three times as expensive as ordinary epoxy.
