I just did my repair/fix: didn't have that expensive mfg epoxy so I used clear silicon, pryied the lid apart slightly with two screwdrivers, forced the silicone in as far as possibble with the nozzle, smothed it in with my finger, removed the screwdrivers and wiped the area and screwdrivers clean, but left the clear silicon on my finger.
I think part of the problem is vibration cracking the hard mfg epoxy and it breaks out, so silicon will damp the vibration and prevent worsening of the deterioration/seperation of the deck and lid.
Let's shake hands. Oops, I forgot to wipe that silicone off may finger.
