loose tube bases
#1

I am not sure where this should be posted. While it isn't a critical issue, I recently had a long discussion with a fellow restorer regarding gluing loose tube bases or top caps back on and I would like to hear what others use. I used to use radio service cement, however that was a real pain and could be messy. I also had tried the Elmers glue for all materials. However many year ago I started by cleaning around the base, with a damp rag, letting it dry thoroughly and then putting a few drops of super glue around the base. It always settles down between the globe and the base and quickly sets up. I have never had any problems using this method and have done it for years. However the fellow I was discussing this with went on to tell me I should only be using the Elmers glue. He couldn't remember where he heard it, but told me he had heard that using super glue is dangerous and that it can't take the heat and the joint should be able to have some give. Any Ideas? Thanks guys
