Much better!
BUT - if the epoxy gets hot it fails as a glue - a good push fit is just as good in my experience
Beers tastes better than coke but choose your beer can for the contents - not a neat line to guide your cut... you can always draw a line on by getting a block of wood the right size, strapping a felt pen to the top and rotating the can in contact with the pen...

Why bother with a marker pen...?

Just attach a Stanley knife blade to the wood and score round the can until the cut is made. Makes for a much neater and clean cut

Holes for the jets were much too big as well - not very efficient. I find drawing pins are ideal - thumbtacks to our colonial cousins. Liked the bit about using the wife's best sewing scissors though...............

It's not very DIY, but I bought the Swedish army alu trangia for 10 quid of military mart with kuska. Excellent buy.

One of my all-time favourite bits of kit. The windshield makes a pretty passable woodburner as well.................
