Lowes has the loctite blue 2 part epoxy tubes. You kneed it together and it turns white when ready to apply. It's a 4-5" stick for $5 or so. Easy to work with.

not sure, but from the research i did online, there are a lot of folks using the loctite without any ill-effects.

I've been using the blue and white loctite epoxy for a while now and have not had any problems

This is the stuff I used last -- picked up at Ace, when they were out of their private label.
