Simply using Jb weld for tacking on the fins and then using fixit for the fillets, will not prevent the fillets from cracking.
The only source of failure is due to the hard landings. That is pretty much the down side in my point of view to epoxy clay. If anything this can be avoided as long as you have a reasonable chute and the fins are not going to hit the ground first.
This is tempting me to make another rocket that will travel to Mach 2 and use epoxy clay fillets for my fins. If anything it will take me awhile before finishing it. However, it is a test that is just begging for it.
