that tends to stick better than epoxy. With epoxy you need to load it a

Any tips or solutions would be gratefully received.

I've found that JB Weld is generally better than Araldite - but I've
never used a decent epoxy only ever Araldite.

I've found that JB Weld is very difficult to find.

I asked my local supplier (car accessory shop) today, he didn't think
that there was any problem getting JB Weld.

If you just want a bit to repair this tripod, I can prolly find a
partially used set
