Looking for a glue product... [View all]

...that will bond glass and pewter.

I received a lovely vase made of glass with a pewter decoration attached somehow to it. After several years' use, the bond deteriorated and I've been unable to successfully re-glue it.

Any suggestions?

I've tried plain white glue, epoxy (the kind you have to mix before you apply it) and super glue.

The curved surface of the glass makes it difficult to achieve that first attachment, and the weight of the pewter piece makes it slip easily.

I'd like to apply a glue, and then use cling wrap to hold them together until the bond sets.

Suggestions?

hopefully,
Bright
