If it weren't for J*B Weld, I'd have to fix everything w/ duct tape!! The trick is to use the 'right' amount between flat metal pieces, this would be around 1/32 inch, and then let it cure for about 4 days before applying any torque or shear force (package says overnight - DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!) I'd be a little concerned about ANY adhesive's ability to adhere to the extreme smoothness (not to mention lacquer finish) of most valve caps, but my main concern about J*B in this case would be the possible bi-metal effect of dissimilar metals.
