shear strength of epoxy is 15,000n psi and its waterproof.
It happens I volunteered to reinforce the folding leg joints on some
church tables. To replace the two wood screws securing each saddle
on the legs, I used a metal insert with four woodscrews, and two studs
to hold each saddle. I was interested to glue the metal to the table's
underside too.
The strongest (advertized) tensile I could find in 2 part 24 hour
epoxy was 4500 psi. I usually find shear is a fraction of tensile for
the ordinary run of materials... Where did your data originate?
