Bit of a wild stab but the ED user-base is an eclectic group and somebody might be able to help...
Our oven door fascia has a toughened-glass panel with a metal surround glued to it.
That assembly attaches to the door, itself, via 4 self-tapping screws.
Trouble is, the glue starts to fail after a year or so and then the metal surround comes away from the glass, which means the glass panel could just drop out of the door.
I resolved to fix this permanently last year.
I went to a DIY shop and they offered me a roll of "heavy duty double-sided tape" (A bit like double-sided duct tape) which they assured me would work.
I was dubious at the time but it seemed like an easy fix so I went for it.
I stripped the door down, removed the old glue, degreased it all, applied the tape and reassembled it.
And now, a year later, the metal surround is hanging off again, [sad]
So, anybody have any experience with gluing stuff to glass?
Anybody have any suggestions for something that WILL stick the metal surround to the glass, permanently?
I was thinking of something like JB-Weld but I'm not sure if it's flexible enough.
Being an oven door, and going through constant heat-cycles, I wonder if the adhesive needs to be flexible in order to work well?
Perhaps some kind of silicone sealant would be better?
