    Why would re-soldering it be a disaster? Soft solder works at low temps compared to silver solder so finish damage will likely be minimal if any. Epoxy would likely be a short term repair due to vibrations and expansion/ contraction as the barrel heats up during firing then cools off afterwards. Just my .02CW.
