I haven't had good luck with brass, either. One of my wooden planes
had a brass sole epoxied to it. After a year in my shop, which is air
conditioned and heated, it fell off. That could have been the bubinga,
an oily wood, but I think it was the expansion differential between
the metal and wood.

I have not met anyone who can explain this, vendors, manufacturers,
other enthusiasts.

Try searching on adhesives for Copper. I vaguely remember something
like copper inhibits the usual catalysts used with epoxy. Anyway you
can buy epoxy for use with copper pipes and fittings at the Home Depot
or Lowes.



I did. The reviews by people who actually used it were less than
enthusiastic. I stayed away from it.
