Araldite epoxy glue on tank lid safe?

[Beano]

Hi,

A while ago one of my tank lids broke. I'm getting sick of looking at
the cling wrap I put over it instead, and my oscar is starting to bite
holes in it! Is it safe to use epoxy based glues like araldite to
stick my glass lid back together, or will it poison the fish if water
gets on it?

Thanks.

where does one find aquarium epoxy? I was thinking about using
silicone... Never had to do anything like this before...

The mail order places I use have it

I suspect that big al's and Dr. foster and Smith would have it as
well, I just haven't dealt with them yet.

Or you could just go to your nieghborhood glass shop and have them cut you a
new piece, I did this and it was less then $10.
By the way, it was on my oscar tank also.
