scousemouse Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I have a glass candlearbra and one of the 'arms' has sheared off. Do any forummers know of anyone who would be able to repair it or tell me of a product I could buy to maybe have a go at repairing it myself? It appears to be a fairly clean break. Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Loctite generally have a specific glue to glue anything to anything and is usually less that £3 for a small tube. The key to gluing anything is to make sure both surfaces are clean and contaminant free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Haven't you heard of Super Glue? £1 from the pound shop for four small containers and no it's not rubbish it will repair anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace* Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 There’s a glue on the market that cures with a light it’s supposed to be good for glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Whichever glue you use, make sure it's clear. Also, the candleabra will have to be held in a suitable position until the glue has set, unless it's superglue which sets in seconds. Araldite type of glue is a bit stronger than superglue but even the 5 minute type will take a few days to properly harden. Have a cloth dampened with meths ready to clean off any excess glue around the joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 "Gorilla glue" do a type for sticking glass. As mentioned above, ensure you can somehow get the item to stay in position until the glue has dried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodview Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Still no feedback from the OP as to whether this domestic calamity has been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousemouse Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Sorry to have been so long in replying to all you kind people! I have only tried gorilla glue and it didn't work, will try some of the other suggestions. Off topic, but where has the 'for sale/swap and free' section gone? I don't like the new format, not as easy as the old one.........or perhaps it's me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
