Thanks for all the replies everyone. The valve in question is a full wave rectifier so it will run hot but not I expect scorching hot so I may try the Evo-Stick version first, did not the original glue set hard anyway? May be the expansion and contraction of the glass caused the material to crack over time? Having said that there are plenty of valves with rock solid bases!!

Regards, Keith.
