Museum of the Game® & International Arcade Museum® Forums

I asked this question in the Arcade-Projects forums since this was for my Candy Cab monitor, but I figured I'd post it here on KLOV as well since it a pretty general question about using epoxy to reinforce a flyback.
----------------------
Was taking off my flyback in order to clean the infamous "Black Goo" that was everywhere.

In doing so, the brittle plastic support snapped off on the top. I'm inclined to think I should just leave it off and just put some epoxy there to prevent cracking, etc since these fly backs are obsolete.

Any recommendations on where to buy, what brand, etc. I'm near both Home Dept and Lowes, but willing to wait for any Amazon shipments too. No rush.

[Edit: Just bought this Epoxy from Amazon]

Lastly, I could always super glue it back on, then surround it with Epoxy. In the last pic below I have it snugly in place, unglued. Not sure what would be best.

Also, there was not a screw in the post before I removed it, so don't think it provided my support anyway. So I'm leaning towards leaving it off and using the epoxy.

Thoughts?
