Hi Everyone,

We have a ornamental lamp, much like the old british street lamps much
like the one at:
http://bp0.blogger.com/_LbShSVeb-GA/...n+App+lamp.JPG

we are using it indoors, and it tipped over, with two of the three
frames surrounding the lights breaking off.

If I had a very strong metal glue that would withstand heat well, I
could dump fill the base of the broken light frames with the glue, and
making it much stronger than it originally was. This would allow me to
not have it welded. I'm wondering if:

1. Anyone could recommend a strong glue
2. Any other options I have?

Many Thanks,
Stephen

Epoxy (something like JBWeld) will work well for a piece or cosmetic
fix, but likely not structurally strong enough. If you can insert an
iron rod with the glue, that might work. Probably best to take it to
a welder.
