I think I used Araldite when I put one on an old .22, but there are probably more modern epoxies that are better suited to the job.
Did it work very well?
It worked fine for the job, but thinking back now I don't think it was Araldite as it was fairly easy to remove when I finished with it. I don't recall having to use heat to break the bond, but it was about 2015-ish. I put a scope on my father-in-law's rifle for him as he'd always wanted a scope but it wasn't designed for mounting one. I also converted it from single-shot into a 10rd detachable-magazine repeater as he'd always wanted that as well. He died about a year later though.
