Gluing glass
Have a "bowl" that snapped off its base.
Looks like it was originally glued together. So what to use to reattach? Thx Scott |

Superglue hates me.
The only thing I can manage to get stuck together with it is my fingers. I'll give it a shot. Thx |

Here is the object in question. The bowl weighs a good 5-6 pounds and the contact patches are both glass and about 3/4 inch.

Actually, Super Glue Gel. Get the old glue off with high heat. Won't hurt to scuff the surfaces with a Dremel.

Also, with any adhesive, it needs a clean surface.

Scuffing is usually just a way to get to a clean surface.

careful with heat too, you can melt the glass a bit and the pieces won't fit together anymore

See if acetone will take off the old glue.
I don't know how acetone works on Superglue (if that is what is there now), but isn't there something called Superglue Remover? Might be worth a shot.

I've had good luck with the specialty Loctite epoxies. They probably have a formula for for glass.

Superglue is most effective on porous surfaces. You'd be better off with an epoxy... or finding a glassmaker to fix
