Topic tags/keywords: workmate epoxy super glue question

Question – I am going to recess this scale into a new work top for my Workmate 550. Which would be better Super Glue or epoxy? This top is for light work, layout and assembly. I don’t anticipate any heavy pounding like chopping mortises. Thoughts and suggestions?
