I wouldn't bet against you either, but one can't reglue steel bikes, even with lugs. Epoxy could be mighty useful for splinting. Look at how those bamboo bikes are glued together with hemp twine. But the glue is fluid and good quality.
I do hope most realize that I was being facetious to some degree. I didn't mean the epoxy was meant to be a permanent fix but we have used it to temporarily mend a problem so as not to ruin a tour. Oh and you're right Spinnaker, we once used it to repair a broken rear rack which saved the day out in the middle of nowhere.
