I've been able to get a lot better of a bond on plastic with JB weld (the original cold weld) than a bunch of other epoxys.

I tried that, and it did eventually come loose! even scuffed up the inside of the NC.. (And this wa sonly about 4-6oz weight..)

All my NC weight is now secured, and with chopsticks, not metal rods. Easier to come by, cheaper, easier to sand smooth & blend, glue tends to 'soak in' more, etc.. 2 pieces of stick, 90°from each other

1/32" brass rods you could cut with a pair of kindergartner's scissors. I'd recommend 1/8" brass - it's big enough to be easy to work with, it's easy to cut with wire cutters (even fingernail clippers), and every set of drill bits comes with a 1/8" bit. Not true for 1/32". You should be able to find the brass rods at any hobby store - even Hobby Lobby will have them.

If you have a pair of wire cutters, then you could just as easily use a wire clothes hanger. It's mild steel, stronger than the brass, a bit harder to cut (but the wire cutters won't have any issues).

Like Winston, I've also used hose clamps as cutting guides for body tubes and the like. I use a fine tooth razor saw and go as much of the way around as possible and then loosen the clamp and move it. It takes a little effort getting the band even all the way around but the results have been very good.
