Fuel well plug epoxy or ... ???

What is the best solution for sealing the fuel well plugs and keeping them from leaking? Epoxy? what brands? where can I get? My car puffs a little on cold starts and im certain there may be a little fuel dripping into the intake.

I went to Murray's and they looked at me like a deer in truck headlights. I miss my old auto parts store I went to before i moved out of state.

Thanks alot for the suggestions.

JB Weld will do fine.

I used JB weld, but your puff of smoke at startup is most likely leaking valve stem seals though.
