So the other day I found a glass rose, only problem is one of the petals is snapped off, any recommendations on what I should be using to reattach it if its possible?

Gluing it would probably be your best bet.

Yes, but what with?

I didn't think superglue would be too effective on glass.

Can you melt glass? No? I thought not.

Anyways... maybe try soldering it together.

How big is the petal and the whole rose? & how clean are you wanting the repair to be?

I wouldn't try melting it back together unless you have experience working w/ glass like that.
Super glue doesn't work too well on glass & it'd likely just break right back off as soon as you put any pressure on it.

I'd try using some 2 part epoxy like you can find at Dollar General for $1 right next to the super glue.

Araldite. It will even glue that jade pony back together.

Use this one: http://www.selleys.com.au/Selleys-Araldite-Ultra-Clear/default.aspx from most hardware stores.

Silicone glue. Or something made specifically for glass.

super glue is pretty effective on glass.

Maybe use a piece of glass filler rod and "weld" it back together with a small blow torch

And since it's a glass rose, its not going to have to take alot of handling

I'd go with Araldite...That stuff is amazing...I love it so much!

Just knock up a gnat's-cock amount and spread it thinly.

Cheers for the quick replies, fellas.

i too will go for epoxy

Mebe.

I've really got no excuse for not getting around to fixing it considering I live down the street from a hardware store.

Do it tomorrow.... it's not like it going any where.

Hey man, in my experience superglue has always done fine on glass, but you might want to take emag's advice and go with epoxy to be safe.
