Which glue, epoxy or whatever would be best for this small job?
I have three decorative knobs on my bathroom cabinets. The part that fastens to the cabinet doors is metal. The decorative part is glass. The glass part seats in a recess in the metal part.
Recently, one of the cabinet doors was stuck and a family member pulled the knob too hard and the glass separated from the metal. After I fixed the door (I trimmed one end), I glued the glass and metal together--twice!--and each time it lasted no more than a day.
I haven't tried any epoxies yet, but I tried one glue (I forget its name) and, since I had it lying around the house, the "all glass" Super Glue (Super Glue's website seems to indicate that this is best for "glass on metal" too, and I can't tell if they even make a "glass on metal" glue or epoxy).
Can you suggest something that you think would work? Thanks so very much.
The perfect epoxy is "JB Weld" You can get it at auto supply store. They have a quick set up epoxy that I use all the time. Used it to glue stainless steel handle onto a pot about 7 years ago and it still holding. Only thing is, is that it's grey in color, might not be very pretty for glass knob. But it will stick to anything and is easy to use.
Good luck
