nivram4491 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I have a coffee table with a glass top. The glue joining a metal disc about the size of a 10 Baht piece to the glass top has failed. Any suggestions as to the best metal to glass glue available in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 you could try clear silicone glue for aquariums. Araldite (pack A and is also good for this sort of thing, provided it's not meant to flex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseFrank Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Homepro and homeworks sell a glue called Dr Threebond. Light blue color tube, I think 140 baht or so, works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just use a clear silicone sealant. It allows a little flexibility when joining materials with different expansion coefficients. Glue simply hardens and cracks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glue simply hardens and cracks Yes I'd agree with you on this, as Silicone will flex. The twin pack I mentioned should be Pack A and pack B. However it will not flex, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivram4491 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks for the advice. I thought clear silicone would work but wasn't completely sure. Silicone wasn't used originally as it was a hard glue with no flex. Perhaps that's why the original glue failed. I'll try clear silicone and see how it goes.

If you try silicone make sure it is the neutral cure version( the one for bathrooms) as the acidic cure doesn't stick well to glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivram4491 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 The silicone appears to have worked. Of course I won't really know until 6 months or so down the track. I let the silicone cure for 24 hours before removing the support keeping the two surfaces being bonded together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen quite a large aquarium bonded with nothing else but this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
