Loctite Super Glue Glass

Used to fix a delicate & intricate glass angel bauble/decoration. Pleased!

Some Xmas baubles needed mending. One had cracked in two and the glass was of various thicknesses around the break. One was a finial on the bottom of a glass drop. The other was a `jewel' that had come adrift. Yet another was on a hinged metal frame, which opened and closed, where one glass half had become detached from the metal. This glue did the lot, making them all good again. I also used it on a bauble project which involved lots of glass joints being glued. I first noticed this trend on a photo of last year's Downing Street Christmas tree (the one out in the street) based on 3 (or more) baubles clustered together and facing upwards. I wanted 3's, in different sizes within each group, and to wire onto where tree branches fork. On searching how to get this effect, I found that clustering your baubles is definitely a thing! But most instructions suggest threading them onto a pipe cleaner/cable-tie and fastening. Fine if they're to hang down like grapes but if facing up, they flop apart, showing the bauble stems and metal loops, at the centre of the group, which is unsightly. Glueing looked like the only option, to get the effect I wanted. I needed enough clusters for 5 mini realistic but artificial trees, 6 clusters per tree. I wanted larger baubles used within clusters for lower on the trees (4cm + 3cm + 2cm) and smaller groups (3cm + 2cm + 1cm) for higher up plus a few spare clusters ... 99 baubles in all. Firstly, after allowing baubles and glue to get to room temp (the baubles had been stored in an unheated outhouse), I covered 3 kitchen trays with kitchen paper (to protect them and so that the decs didn't roll about too much) and placed the baubles into pleasing colour groups with a larger, a medium and a small one in each, into empty tubs. Although towards the end (at the end I did get mixed up a bit but at least doing this stage did mean that I knew things would more or less work ok in the end). I planned to do all the larger clusters first and to subdivide that into sticking them into pairs before going around again and sticking the 3rd one on. For each pair, I offered them up together WITHOUT glue, with loops close together to see where they'd meet (as I used different sizes it was a different `position' on each one of the pair) and only then added a spot of glue to just one and positioned the other onto it, and holding together as they were placed down onto the tray holding them together on the tray then counting 30 secs, before gently letting go and proceeding to the next pair. By the time I'd finished the last pairs in that group, the first ones had had well over the specified 10 minutes do-not-disturb time. I got cracking (!) with the 3rd bauble in each set .. 2 glue joints each this time. By now I'd got the hang of it and was having a smashing time (not literally!). By the end, 300 glue joints later, I'd only come across 3 joints which had resisted sticking, tho' it was hard to say why as I'd done nothing different ... maybe they'd had a spot of grease on them. I did eventually get them to stick but it took a couple more attempts. The next day I checked all the glue joints by eye, noting that some were only touching by a tiny amount. With those I dropped another spot of glue on, from the side. Don't do what I did with one cluster ... I thought I was testing the glue joint gently, only to find that I'd pulled a plug of glass out of the side of one bauble. That suggests that: A) the glue was pretty strong! B) I shouldn't try doing that again! Gold and silver pipe cleaners (thanks Amazon) cut into 10cm lengths were long enough to go thro' the 3 loops per cluster and then around the small branches ... but for a real they may need to be longer. GOOD LUCK WHEN YOU GET STUCK IN (!) TO ALL YOUR GLASS PROJECTS. 🍀

Stick well

Did the job, no complaints

Seemed good at first but glue failed after a few weeks when gluing a metal leg to a table. Rather a big crash!

Works great used it on cardboard to glass and cardboard to porcelain/ rubber and worked well

Arrived very fast. Just what I needed

I know what this product is supposed to do and that is to "stick glass". However, as some others have already stated and despite of following the instructions to the letter, it failed miserably. It not only had the consistency of water but as an adhesive it was about as effective. I even got a little on my fingers and it didn't stick them either. The tube is small (which seems to be the norm for this type of glue) but the contents don't "emerge" until you squeeze half the length flat which shows how little actual "glue" is contained within. Yes I know it states 3 grams but it's not easy to visualise a weight and although it would still be expensive I would feel less aggrieved if it performed as an effective adhesive.
