Default Gluing glass to metal

It didn't work well for me either, but the second or third time I used
it, I got the hang of it. It had to do with cleaning the window and
the metal, spreading the glue around, and getting the metal up there
pretty quick, and holding it. (I guess that doesn't help much.)

I didnt' like spending so much for one capsule, and I think elsewhere
in the self-service auto parts store, or somewhere, I found something
with 3 capsules for the same money. The packaging mentioned glass.
Name brand iirc, not the little cyanoacryllic tubes sold in cards of
10 at hamfests (I bought that but haven't tried it yet). It worked
well.

He could also try PC-70. It sticks to glass. It's grey, but maybe he
could paint it clear.

the hardware store for a clear epoxy. I stuck my rear view mirror up with
one about 5 years ago. It is still holding

You might try an auto supply store. Your rear view mirror has a metal
piece that is actually glued to your windshield then the
mirror fits over it. The same glue should do the trick for your purpose.

Good luck

I have a glass and metal side table -- the top is round and about
15" in diameter, and its support
is a metal disk about 2.5" in diameter. The top was glued onto the
support,
and the support was off to the side, so the top was cantilevered a bit.


The glue seal broke, and I want to reglue the glass top to the metal
support.
Question: What's the best adhesive to use? It has to dry clear, and
bond to both
glass and metal.


Thanks,

Andy Barss
