Default Sealing well plugs

The small lead(I think) plugs at the bottom of the float bowls on Tripower carbs seem to frequently be the source of leaking/weeping fuel onto the intake below. What is the most effective way to seal these so they don’t leak? I’ve read a lot about using two part epoxy, but not much info on exactly which product to use and I read lots of comments that this doesn’t last for long, fails to seal from the get go, etc. I’ve tried the epoxy sold via GM parts departments specifically intended for this purpose, but it did not work for me. What have you guys used with success?
