I would suggest a metal expoxy rather.

Two ton epoxy in the doube syrenge should work fine for the sleaves.  I'm not sure how well Urac would adere t the brass sleeve.

2ton is great epoxy for wood to wood contact....worthless on metal. Pat, put it on a flat piece of steel it will chip off easily. I do like it for splices...Devcon 30 minute set, don't use the 5 minute too brittle.

Called the company on the pc-7 they said it should work well.....I personally have not used it.

Hi-jack...Pat, Dave what are your sleeves from?  I am getting ready to tackle a takedown and I am looking for sleeve options out there other than three-rivers products. 

As for the glue, I love urac, but have not done anything other than wood-to-wood with it.
