Yes, I've used molten sulphur in that manner quite
satisfactorily. Especially good when you want to bolt down (via
angle brackets) wood uprights (6"x6') for a porch or large
overhang. I think that it would be more satisfactorily than epoxy as
it does expand when cooling.
I've also used it for the drying agent when drying home grown
apricots. Halved 'cots were placed on small HB wooden trays and
stacked up under a quite large cardboard box. Underneath the stack
was placed a coffee can about half full of the sulphur powder, which
was set on fire. This was allowed to smoke overnight, and then the
trays were set upon the roof and allowed to dry for about a week.
When I lived in Mountain View CA we had 7 apricot trees, and didn't
thin them properly the first year we lived there. We ended up with
over 200 # of dried 'cots and sold about another 2000 # of fresh
picked ones to the local cannery.
Cutting 'cots proved to be good summer jobs for my three pre-teen
sons, as many neighbors, as well as local orchards, also had apricot trees.
