I have never had long term success depending on epoxies of any kind
holding in high torque, or even low torque, situations.
If there's room for this, I suggest a bushing that would encircle the
impellers shaft where it goes over the motor shaft. The metal bushing
would be drilled and tapped for a couple of set screws that would reach
down to the metal shaft. Does that sound feasible?
I think it would be tough to drill and pin through the 1/8" shaft on the
motor.
