You can see in the pic that a bit of the flotation chamber has begun to pull away on my Souris River Q17. Is there a preferred epoxy or other method to reattach it? Many Thanks, and my apologies if this has been covered in prior posts.

You could call Wayne at SR. I'd just use epoxy

I used to run a composite repair shop. We never did canoes, but did work on stuff that went on jets. Grain of salt though, I was just the manager, never really hands on.

The best answer is probably reach out to the manufacturer and ask what they recommend. Besides that though, looks like a really simple repair and most epoxies should work fine. Probably want to stay away from the 5-minute stuff that comes with the little plungers. My guys used to swear by West Systems for what that's worth.
