Any of you questioning the strength of epoxy and pins should read
this.

>From CBS news:

"JERUSALEM (AP) After a thousand years in pieces, an  ancient Roman
obelisk stood proudly again Monday in the seaport of Caesaria.

Weighing more than 100 tons and standing 40 feet high, the obelisk was
once the centerpiece of a Roman hippodrome.....

The obelisk, found in three separate pieces, was put back together
with titanium pins and epoxy glue, said archeologist Yosef Porat."
