Adhesive question

[Jeremy Darrow]

I think I know the answer to this already, but I'm asking anyway.

On TB there is an active thread discussing the repair of a chipped tailpiece. Here it is:

I was surprised to see repairmen discussing the use of epoxy with regard to this repair, but I became astonished when one of them referenced using epoxy to repair a neck! The repairman did not mention what kind of neck repair, but I'm assuming he's referring to a Kay-style heel break.

I'm not a luthier, but I though that I knew what was in and what was out when it came to some repair techniques. Using epoxy for a neck repair seems out to me. Is epoxy a reasonable option for structural repairs?
