"Actually Devcon shrinks so little that I repaired an axle bearing seat with it. I bought a Bronco that had a 'repaired' rear-end, and what they did was put a bearing race in a wallowed out housing. After it went out, I disassembled it, packed the wallowed seat with Devcon, placed the race in that, re-assembled it, then let it set and cure. It ran for another 50,000 miles, until I sold it."
Next time you do that, try one of the LocTite Bearing Mount products. They make several types depending on how well the bearing fits, temperature, etc.
Thee are thousands of one and two part adhesives on the market. Chances are some company has a product designed for your EXACT application. Over the years I've found that using the correct product works best.
Hint to anyone wanting to bed a stock: Avoid products that come in two little tubes available in the "Misc. Household" section of your local supermarket, or any product which takes less than several hours to cure. Devcon 10110 is hard to beat for bedding stocks. This is NOT the same Devcon product available in two tubes in a bubble pack at your local Quick Mart.
