E6000 is good stuff! It's not as strong as 2-part epoxies, but is good enough for many repair jobs you likely use epoxy for, and far more convenient to use:

Open cap
Squeeze
Close cap

Give it a try on something that doesn't matter, you'll get a better feel for its viscosity, application and cure timing. Better to know that from direct experience before dabbling with a calculator repair.

For posts I angle cut the ball off a que-tip and grab a wee bit of E6000 from the end of the tube. One does not need a lot just the "post-nub" and a bit around. Be sure to clean the end of the tube and threads to save the rest of the tube for wife friendly projects.
