I use JB Weld for a lot of less than high strength stuff. It and many other light duty epoxy adhesives sort of have a life limit before weather and temperature changes sort of break the stuff down. If any corrosion gets started between the parts then that will break the bond. There are some high strength structural adhesives that will last a way lot longer but they are also more expensive and a little dangerous to use.

I used some Hysol high strength stuff one time that got so hot I had to dunk the semkit in a bucket of water only 8 minutes after I mixed it up. It actually started melting the semkit container and was starting to smoke. I had to use two kits to get the job done and they were around $100 a kit.
