John,

I use Pliobond (epoxy) quite frequently at my work. I would make sure this
epoxy is cured completely before using the camera. Pliobond will outgas and
the chemicals released during outgassing may affect the film quality and
various components in the camera. Leave the camera open during the curing
process.
Pliobond should cure at room temperature in 24 hours. To be safe, I would
wait a little longer.
