Guide wobbling and cracks in epoxy

I did something dumb today that led to one of the guides on my expride getting loose. It was out of position and I’ve kinda shifted it back, and it looks fine now. I want to re-fixate it, and the epoxy around it is cracked a bit. Would clear nail polish or UV resin do the job?
Thanks

My revo beast 41 2019 edition is my favorite pike fishing reels, but 3 times now a bearing has gone bad, and I’ve had to disassemble the reel, diagnose the issue and order a replacement which takes 4 months to arrive because the customer service at Abu is atrociously bad.

I’m looking for a full bearing replacement because I want to use the reel an I’m over having to fix it constantly atp

Does anyone have recommendations for reasonably priced ball bearing kits for this reel?
I understand that it will never be as smooth as my shimanos, so the ball bearings should be tough rather than ultra smooth. I’m casting heavy lures from 40-130g

The picture above is a very reasonably priced kit available. How would those do?

Thanks in advance!
