Super Glue should be fine. Some epoxies however, have fillers in them and
might NOT be passive to the RF specs of the core.
I saw this happen while working in the EMC field. We were testing a
transformer for a customer that had to attenuate RF passage thru its core
and windings. It was a three phase power unit for a LORAN station.
They potted each phase core in a chassis with epoxy and sand mix.
Unfortunately, there were some ferrous rocks in the mix and, the RF
attenuation was affected such that the transformer FAILED the RF attenuation
test. It passed LORAN signals like a tuned circuit!
Made me realize that colorant in an epoxy might mean there are things other
than adhesive in the mix.
