I've tried one of the two part epoxies which come in a form where you break off a section and use your fingers to mix the inner and outer layers and a silicon sealant called GOOP. The washer and the nail don't fit snuggly together, so the adhesive has to fill in some gaps, yet still not easily break or come apart.
