This is a fairly nice solution. One thing to remember is to grind /
sand off any paint, anodizing or other coatings and clean the mounting
points thoroughly so that the standoff and epoxy have a clean metal
surface to adhere to. Leave the surface a little rough to give the
epoxy a better grip. You can see this on Adam's pictures, and it's an
important detail.
