If your going to re wrap an entire guide use an epoxy like flex coat or pro kote

Nothing "proper"but if your just re-wrapping one guide and its not an expensive blank you could probably use a slower drying two part epoxy

I used an epoxy that comes in a stick that I bought in the fishing section at Bimart. You heat it up with a lighter and use a tooth pick. Not sure if it's the same application you're looking for but it's worked well on my Lami so far.

Not quite. That stuff is more useful in the field, in a pinch, rather than a permanent fix. A 2 part epoxy like Devcon, PC-11, or Loctite would be better suited as a permanent fix. I would suggest PC-11 since it is a marine epoxy.
