It's easy peasy:
1. Make a large bead on the end of your mandrel so that the hole doesn't go all the way through.
2. After proper annealing, clean out the bead release.
3. Mix your 2 part epoxy according to the instructions.
4. Place some epoxy on the stopper post and some on the stopper bead, close to th hole and let it tack.
5. Put the stopper bead over the post and hold tight for a few seconds. (Clean up any excess epoxy immediately)
6. Let epoxy cure overnight. (some epoxies don't require that much time)
I recommend using a clear epoxy, but any will work if the bead is not transparent. I prefer clears becuse sometimes you will have some excess squeeze out that you can't get completely cleaned up.
