A good cleaning with brake cleaner with perchlorethane or trichloethane in
it will remove all traces of oil so the epoxy will stick. Here in the
States, the material of choice for this would be "J.B. Weld®" and it may be
available in Old Blighty as well.

Hi, I can confirm that J.B. Weld is available in the UK. I purchased some
only a few weeks ago locally, to do exactly the same job with a 2nd user pillar
drill I purchased that looked as though the moths had been at the table. It
worked a treat. and as you said sticks like **** to a blanket.
