Braze it myself so epoxy is really the only option. If in the end it
doesn't work all I'm really out is the cost of the epoxy and a few
hours fiddling in the garage. The JB didn't even cost me anything so
that isn't even a cost if I try JB Weld.

I'd just put it in a drawer until I could fix it properly. Personally,
I'd bury it before I put JB Weld on it. Maybe you can find someone
sympathetic to the cause who would do it cheap? The (gas) welding
shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do. I go into a shop with
only the part that needed to be welded in my mind looking for a "quick
fix". Even if they offered to do it for free, I'd still give em a twenty.

Does JB Weld really work when gluing metal together?
Is there another epoxy that might work better?






I don't know where you are, but here in the SFBA you can usually pick up
a low angle plane for $5 to $15. Any cash outlay is counter economic.
