I recently began building a coaxial cannon but found, to my dismay, that I had ground the bushing too far. The pipe has about 3/4 mm of clearance through the bushing. Should I attempt to use epoxy to hold it in place, or just get a new bushing?

Just use thicker or more cement on the joint.

@ noname

Personal experience says that doesn't work. I'll just get the bushing when I get back from Korea.
