Bonding metal to glass
 

We have to stick metal posts to a glass counter top to allow the top
be fixed in position. The glass is sand blasted on the side the posts
would be affixed.

Tried having them UV bonded by a local glass merchant, who to be fair
reckoned it wouldn't be any good, and he was right. They all came
adrift.

I would have thought this to be straight forward but the more I delve
into it the more complicated it becomes. Found 'GOOP' on fleabay and
also 'Triolyse'. They both sound wonderful but this is not a job I
want to be faffing about with.

Has anyone any personal experience of an application like this ?

HI Paul

I do a lot of sticking metal to glass (fused glass jewellery - but the
same principle)

Used to use triolyse, but it can be a bit too brittle, and you can get
failures. Don;t know about Goop.

The product I've been using for the last few years is called E6000 -
which comes from the USA. I have some little 1fl oz tubes of it that I
imported - send me a private email if you're interested in a tube and I
can sell you some (from Ireland).

http://www.eclecticproducts.com/e6000_series_retail.htm is the
manufacturer's website

The key things I've found with this stuff are

- roughen the metal and the glass before sticking (small bit in a Dremel
works well)
- degrease both surfaces with Meths, and dry
- work a tiny amount of glue into both surfaces with a toothpick, then
hold together and leave well along for 24 hours

You are on a hiding to nothing.
Drill the glass and have screw fixings.

Lots of people do to make stealing them harder, or because the web
designer likes flash..

Of course a screen shot captures them just fine....

Seconded (or indeed any other MS polymer - CT1 is quality, and comes
in a great range of colours, but is pricey with it).
