I'm in permanent awe that people manage to glue stuff together in ways that are good enough to be sold and used for years.
The only time I've used epoxy and had it truly last for years was when the handle came off of a cooking pot. It has held strong for 10+ years. I think the key was the plastic handle fit into a pressed metal fitting and the combination of that stabilization and the glue worked well.
