[R-390] R390 knob set screw

[Barry]

I was looking for some JB Weld last night at a local AutoZone store.  They
didn't have the usual stuff, but they did have the Quick Set version.  I
didn't get it because it appeared to be more of an epoxy rather than a
filler.  The package didn't mention it was machinable like the regular JB
Weld is.   Anyone know?
