    After about 30 cords, the epoxy holding the fiberglass core handle to the 8 lb maul is breaking up. I did it in when I pounded on the back of the maul with the sledge over the years.

    Looking for recommendations for a tough epoxy to use to stick it back together.

    I have no experience using Gorilla glue epoxy in that application. However, I do use it in knife making and I can tell you it is very tough and has excellent adhesion to many different materials.

    The Devcon 5 minute stuff available at the hardware doesn't get rock hard...not like rubber, but wouldn't chip either. Might work well in this situation. Not sure though, just a thought
