I'm repairing an crank handle for a nice old tripod. The handle is
made
of some sort of black plastic, and the bit made to repair (reinforce
across the break) it is steel. The steel bit sits inside the
u-shaped
channel of the plastic. I expect there is a bit of draft so the
epoxy
I'm planing on using to embed the steel bit has to stick good to
that
plastic.

Recommendations?

I reinforce handles that have broken and may (will) again with a metal
sleeve, a hobby-store brass tube in the center if it's decorative or
outside ferrules pressed and swaged onto the ends if it isn't.
