Heya, Mad Honk! Just a hint I've found useful. Holding down Alt and typing 0176 on the numeric keypad gets you the magic degree circle: °
And I agree that epoxy should hold a seatpost. IF the glue layer is reasonably thin, which we've discussed before and I think you had some extensive experience with in making golf clubs, right?
