If you still have the small can of marinara after all this time, you could
probably use that in place of the epoxy should the need arise!

I have a soft rubber textured disk, about 5 inches in diameter, which
arrived with a small case of marinara sauce.  Instead of using it for
the sauce, I've found that it's one of the best things that I found to
remove stuck filters.  I haven't had one so stuck that I would need the
epoxy solution... but maybe someday.
