I have a tempered glass top dining table with 4 metal (stainless
steel ?) legs. One of the leg came loose because the handy man tried
to move the table by himself.

The other three legs are attached to the glass pretty tie. I don't
see any glue residue between the leg and the glass.

How can I attach the loose leg to the glass? Super glue? Or any
other materials? I love my table.

Your help is very much appreciated.

I never successfully glued anything with super glue. Probably you can go
to a glass shop and they can provide you with a bit of clear glue.
Probably you will have to clean the glass and the leg.

Or you can likely get one of those kits from the auto-parts store used to
attach the rear view mirror to the windshield.

Get the "handy man" to fix it; it's really his problem.

The handy man suggested super glue which I'm not totally convinced!

I used to use the mirror attaching glue from the auto shops. It never lasted
very long.
Finally I came across a clear epoxy. It has held the mirror in place for at
least 3 years now.
Check at hardware stores for a clear epoxy- it may have been a two part
style.
Read the label and make sure it is good for glass.

So the legs are attached to the glass and nothing else? Wow.

I think discussing it with a glass shop is a good idea. I would ask
them what to do.

I tried the mirror attaching glue, and I guess I didn't do it
perfectly (I put on too much or too little. I squeezed out the excess
too much or too little.) because the mirror fell off within a day or
so. Later I found in the autoparts store not far from the mirror glue
another glue that also came in capsules, and 3 capsules were included
for about the price of one labelled mirror. So I got 3 of them.
