mix the two compound and apply it on the broken area.

wait for an hour to harden the epoxy, since the epoxy is not hard enough and the epoxy is flowing slowly, you need to monitor the flowing or moving of the epoxy not to stuck in one area of the gear

After an hour the resin will going to be hard, just like a clay, position the new mold gear in its gear partner, then rotate slowly to adapt the teeth of the other gear by the way you need to put some grease on the other gear so that the epoxy will not stick to the other gear. rotate it slowly till the rotation will fit to each gear.
