    Clean and soften the existing surface up with acetone.
    Any epoxy glue will work, suggest 30min epoxy to give some time to adjust and not get in a hurry. JBWeld works as well.
    The must-do is the acetone wipe down to soften the existing epoxy.

    Measure, line up, do this about 20 times to get it right and finally jump into it. Make sure everything is straight and no binding or offset to the motor.

          If you are using Plywood - Use the West Systems Epoxy.
