Ask your QuestionHi,
I have a glass coffee table top that needs reattaching to its base. I’ve tried using silicone but it doesn’t work.
I’ve read that epoxy would be the best glue to be used but that UV light should be used to cure it? I’d appreciate any guidance.
Thanks Teri

"Hi any two pack glue for glass will do if it’s for glass or very good double sided clear thin tape if it’s really clean and smooth"

You can use 2 ply epoxy as it doesn't need to be under any kind of light. Alternatively, you can use those plastic suckers. You can also get double-sided padded foam strips which could help re-attach your glass coffee table."
"You can get a 2 part epoxy that will cure clear that does not require UV,"
