Nice!

There is a newer version of the old glass glue, Loctite super glue for glass, it’s rubbish!!! I stuck a GEC radio dial back together with it, the cracks were still clearly visible, and after a few years it fell apart! I had noticed when it dried it was sort of soft and rubbery, unlike the old glass glue which dried hard, and is still holding a wine glass together after 20 years!

Regards
Lloyd
