I used standard two component epoxy. I left it sitting for 24 h (even
though it was suppsed to be the quick setting type I preferred to play it
safe). I smoothed it down with a piece of extra fine garnet sandpaper (220
grit) till it was completely even with the metal surface of the mount (no
more epoxy around the hole, just in the hole). Works great and requires very
little work.
Before you go for it look carefully at your Adaptall, some of them are
already "OM-4 friendly" (I have one example on my 35-70 f3.5 CF). The
problem is only with certain adaptalls, and some other third-party OM
mounts.
Good luck
