The ceramic end on the 500W bulb in my quartz halogen floodlight has
cracked.

I have repaired it with Araldite Rapid.

Will the temperature of the bulb be too much for the adhesive?

I have a feeling that Araldite can not be used at very high temps but
can't find a Google reference which gives any real information.

Hi,

Try baking it in the oven for a while, then check the strength of the
bond while it's hot.

I've got a feeling that the heat may soften the epoxy too much, if it
does then fire cement or superglue could be better alternatives.

cheers,
Pete.
