I've been using JBWeld and have been happy with the results;
not happy that the tubes seem impossible to reseal, completely.

Any other products with which folks have had success?

Since epoxy is a 2 part system, it keeps pretty well without being
totally sealed and screwing the cap on is usually enough. How long
would you plan on storing it?
As adhesives go, the epoxy based stuff seems far more robust than most
after you open it. poly urethane glues like Gorilla glue will go bad
in the factory sealed container and once you open the clock is
running. The same is true of silicone sealants

Epoxies will keep for years. I've got stuff maybe 40 years old. Have
not used it lately but suspect it is still good.

They do not cure with moisture like the others you mentioned.

Gorilla glue bottles are polyethylene which is amongst the worst
possible plastic barrier resins.

Even ketchup is packed in better bottles.
