Anybody ever try to epoxy a heatsink fin back together? I had a bent one and tried to straighten it like an idiot and it snapped off. They make some bad ass epoxy these days may try it.

The problem is whether heat will transfer across the epoxy to the broken heat sink properly. No question epoxy will hold it together.
 
there is some stuff at your local autoparts, the name slips my brain but it has metal filings in it and should transfer heat across the break.
