Or Araldite if you thoroughly degrease the joint first?

I wouldn't use Araldite on a joint exposed to heat cycling. A few years
ago
I used it to re-affix the plastic nozzles in several hot water taps around
the house. Within a few months the Araldite had become brittle and was
coming away in chunks.
Cheers,
Bill.



Interesting - a few years ago I had a leaking radiator (domestic, not
automotive) which had rusted through at a bottom corner. My bodge was to
wire brush it, which exposed several pin holes, then dip some self tappers
in Araldite and screw them in. Lasted the five or so years I lived there,
and there must have been a fair bit of heat cycling.
