Message	I have a project that consists of a plastic cover which utilizes 3/8" knurled brass inserts to receive 6mm bolts. When I removed the 6mm bolts, a couple of the inserts twisted loose, and reamed out their holes. I want to epoxy them back into their original holes in the cover. The material is a vinyl-ester plastic, the inserts are brass or bronze. What kind epoxy might be best to use? Gordo _________________________________________________
