Default Re: Valve base detached from glass part.

I've always been wary of using glue that sets hard when fixing valve bases due to heat expansion/different expansion rates etc possibly cracking the glass (mainly on 'hot' valves like rectifiers and output valves) so I've always favoured Evo-Stik and similar types since these never set really hard. I've never had a problem with this and if the clear type Evo-Stik is applied carefully and any residue wiped before it sets, a neat job can be achieved.
