Default Any way to secure tiny screw on reading glasses?

I think Krazy and Super are both same. Cyanoacrillate.


Both are CA based, true, but they are low grade CA products that don't
work nearly as well as what you will find at a hobby shop that caters
to model airplanes. Brands such as ZAP, Mercury, Balsa USA, Handibond
and Bob Smith are far and away superior products that actually perform
the intended functions.

CA will not reliably bond metal to metal, but does work fairly well in
the thread-locker function. The "thin" formula is dribbly, but wicks
into the threads while thicker formulas like "Krazy glue" just sit on
the surface and crack off as soon as you touch them.

Krazy glue doesn't even stick your skin together all that much... Try
some REAL CA sometime.
