I am looking for the best adhesive to bond a metal leg to a glass table top. The adhesive must be very strong since there are moving leaves that cause a high torque to the table-leg bond, and also it must be clear since the table top is glass and the adhesive will show. It may be difficult to use a thin layer since the leg and table top seem to have a slight gap, which makes me wonder if a disc of some clear, soft material should be placed between the leg and table top. Super glue did not work, and none of my searches have yielded a good answer.Adhesive for metal leg and glass table top? Needs high strength, and to dry clear. Super glue failed.?
you can get this compound that you mix together that's called SUPER MEND it comes in two containers that you mix equal parts of each ingredient. be careful because it get real hot when starting to work. it dries white and you have to use it right when it is real hot because it sets up fast but it is real strong stuff that will not give, break, bend or anything.Adhesive for metal leg and glass table top?

Glass, being nonporous is tough to get anything to stick to. Your best bet is a clear silicone adhesive, but even this will pull away. It will depend on how much surface area the leg has to stick to the glass as to how long it will last. The more you can increase this the better.
I would recommend a clear epoxy. Check the glue aisle at your local hardware store like Ace. Something like this Devcon 2-ton should work fine.

Silicone based glues like E-6000 will be clear if thin, and are somewhat flexible once dry.
Clear ';cements'; will be clear, but won't be flexible.
Clear epoxy glues will be clear** but won't be flexible (though stronger than cements, especially for the ones with longer setting times).
**some could have a slight brownish or yellowish tinge (and most will if left in the sun or other UV light a long time, unless coated with a UV resistant polyurethane, etc.), but the 30-minute setting Devcon one is very clear, I hear
(Not sure what the ones intended for car mirrors are... probably an epoxy glue though.)

Does anyone have a source for 1';-3'; clear hot pink non-adhesive tape or streamers?
I am looking for something akin to hot pink/magenta cellophane, mylar, poly or saran, pre-cut into 1';-3'; strips at least 25 feet long, with no adhesive backing.
The color must be a deep pink, not red or purple, and the material must allow light to shine through it (translucent or transparant.)
PVC flagging tape would be ideal if it were more translucent. Cellophane or lighting gel plastic would work if it were thin strips instead of big sheets.
I need something I don't have to cut myself.Does anyone have a source for 1';-3'; clear hot pink non-adhesive tape or streamers?
I looked around for 2 days for this one.....nothing yet. So far your best bet is to buy the 24'; colored cellophane rolls that I'm sure you saw on your searches. Your challenge should be to work with that, but come up with a way to cut it the way you need it. If I knew how to post a drawing here I would. You need to make a wooden stand with a roll holder, like a butcher with butcher paper. But you need a hinged bar with razor tips in it that lowers and locks in place so when you pull on the sheet, it gets cut to width. Are you handy with making your own jigs?Does anyone have a source for 1';-3'; clear hot pink non-adhesive tape or streamers?
Sorry I had the answer for you till you said flagging tape needs to be more translucent.
Good luck, maybe try a different light source on the flagging...

Adhesive bra or strapless/clear strap?
i have a backless yet low neck shirt, i was thinking an adhesive bra but it seems as though it would fall off easily, do you think im better off using a regular strapless/clear strap bra?Adhesive bra or strapless/clear strap?
The adhesive ones arent that good i find, a clear strap bra is what i would use,Adhesive bra or strapless/clear strap?
NEITHER. Stick ons are uncomfortable and serve no purpose. Clear straps are tacky, and strapless bras mishape you and give horrific visible bra lines. When the designer made that top, I can promise he or she didn't have a bra on the model walking down the runway. You are not supposed to wear a bra with it. I'll never understand American women's obsession with their nipples, as if the hint of them under your blouse will make men go crazy or blind or something. No other civilized country in the world has this odd obsession.
yh the clear strapped is best you can move as you like

I am seeking clear, self-adhesive laminating sheets (cheap), non-machine, that you can peel off &stick?
I used to buy them in stores like K-Mart when I was young back in the 1970's. I believe you could buy them in rolls and in individual sheets. I am NOT looking for POUCHES, just the clear sheets. I would like to find some either 8X11 page size or on a roll that I can cut with scissors. I also DO NOT want the film that is used with laminating machines.
Oh, and I used to be able to find a type of sticky on one side paper that had silver, shiny color on the other side. If anyone knows where I can get either or both of these types of materials, that would be great!I am seeking clear, self-adhesive laminating sheets (cheap), non-machine, that you can peel off %26amp;stick?
Frisk film is sold in art stores and comes in a tablet of pages. There is also rolls of clear film that you can find in most any department store where they sell shelf liners. The roll is about 2 feet wide and sells for around $8.00. The kind I bought is called contact paper and is easy to cut with scissors.I am seeking clear, self-adhesive laminating sheets (cheap), non-machine, that you can peel off %26amp;stick?
Laminating sheets are readily available in the office section of most stores like Kmart, Wal-Mart and the like. Also in a lot of drug stores like Longs and Walgreen's. I also have found that clear shelf paper work wonders to laminate things and cover books.myspace pictures

What clear sealer/adhesive would be durable enough to seal in glitter on a pair of shoes?
I'm making a pair of ruby slippers. The first pair I made I used a clear sealer that i think was recommended for sealing acrylic paint. I put down a layer of acrylic paint on the fabric, then sprayed with sealer and pressed glitter in. Then sprayed with sealer again and pressed in more glitter. Then finished with 2 layers of sealer on top. This first pair is adequate but i think the sealer i used doesn't hold too well. the glitter isn't falling off a whole lot but everywhere i go i find a few glitters on the floor but I do like that it dried hard. This second pair I'm making I put down acrylic paint, then some general purpose spray adhesive and pressed glitter into that then sprayed more adhesive and pressed glitter into it and finished with another layer of the adhesive. The adhesive is drying into a gum like stuff. How do I salvage these shoes? If it dries into a gum it will get indented or even get chunks of glitter ripped off. Can I cook the shoes in the oven or set near a heater to make the adhesive hard? I want something clear that i can use as the final layer that will dry hard, hold the glitter in, and be durable enough for the stress of being on a pair of shoes.
i did allow each layer to dry for 24hrs before adding the nextWhat clear sealer/adhesive would be durable enough to seal in glitter on a pair of shoes?
I would let time tell if those shoes will lose their stickiness and dry out or ';cure';. In the future use ';tacky glue'; it is really sticky white glue perfect for you project and then just one good coat of glitter.I wouldn't spray but if you must use clear gloss polyurethane spray. Don't do it in a cold place if you want it to dry well as these things don't dry or apply well under certain temps....put in sun to dry or in a warm WELL VENTILATED PLACE. Sounds like you have been applying glitter too thick with the wrong things for adhesive... too thick. good luckWhat clear sealer/adhesive would be durable enough to seal in glitter on a pair of shoes?
Yes as long as you did not walk in the rain.
