Gofoil Tuttle to plate permanent bond

[Wingfoil1]

I have one of the 2019 24.5” Tuttle masts connected to an aftermarket ali plate adaptor. I was sick of shimming this regularly so decided to do a permanent bond with JB Weld marine epoxy.
I did the original bond back in July and have used the mast at least 100 times since (thanks Covid).
I’m pleased to report that the bond is still 100% in tact and anyone having a similar issue with whatever mast to plate adaptor they are using I recommend considering this approach.
