I'm trying to repair a computer desk which has the legs attached at threaded
aluminum disks glued to plate glass, several of which have come off. Tried
double sided carpet tape, but it's not strong enough. Is there a glue that
might work in this application?

Thanks

Dan

I think what you are looking for is the glue they use for attach mirrors
to windshields. Try an auto parts store.

Take a look at CR Laurence. They won't sell to individuals but once you
identify the adhesive you need any good glass supplier can order it.
Also, e-Bay may have a listing.

Try the Locktite rear view mirror adhesive available at auto parts
stores.

If you do it right (clean glass proper fit) the glass will break before
the bond. BTW as I recall it needs UV light to cure. You can find that
outside (Sun Light)
