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 ? Paul Mc Cann |

Bonding metal to glass
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 Adrian |

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). |
