Hey now,
While I've not tried this with Ca. I've done it with thin epoxy in
a tapered fuse. Use a condom. Slip the tube in place, tie a string to the
closed end of the condom and pull it into placedrip your Ca on the tube
and blow up the condom. It'll conform perfectly to he side walls and press
the tube nicely. I've used this for years now repairing fuses and
installing pushrod tubes.
