needa glue or epoxy recomendation...?

i just put up a wood mantle on a brick fireplace( rest on two brick arms, then . i used two tapcon screws angled into the top into the brick face, so i should be fine, but i was hoping to add more security to it and therefore orignnaly thought of using L bracket behind the mantel that i would attach to the brock and backside of the wood mantle, but i cant as its too close to the wall and therefore cant get a screw or screw drill back there, so i though of using some kind of bonding agent (epoxy, glue. etc...) to give it exra support. the Lin a prfect world i would find soemething that woudl have a super high stregeth test.

    ALL Mantels must be Secured just as

    ALL Refrigerators/Stoves must be secured to the Floor DO !!!!

    Does not need to be Super High Strength as it's not carrying a load. Just a good application of Silicone Adhesive will do.

    Gorilla Glue epoxy says it works well on wood and masonry.
