Nice work. I wonder how long a wood key would hold up in the meantime, until you can make a metal one.

what about using an appropriate diameter of brass tubing, and slitting / halving it, and use that to hold your JB weld? as a strongback, or for that matter, would just cutting the tubing to the appropriate bitting work? I've never had an environmental, do the wafers touch the edge of the bitting or the face?
