What glue do you suggest to fix a headcap magnet?

Postby Trethowan » Fri Jun 20, 2014 10:25 pm

Jim's magnet came loose and his head crashed down onto my tile floor. GAH. I'm so glad it didn't break cause he landed nose first. /le gasp.

I was going to use superglue but then thought, you know what? I'll ask here before I go off gluing like a wild woman. Who knows what superglue might do to resin. Not me, and I'm not going to risk it on Jim's head.

I have at my disposal: hot glue, super glue, Elmer's Glue, Modge Podge, and Rubber Cement. And boogers. They're natural adhesive. If you get the reference, then you're at least as old as me. har har har

Thanks for the advice!

Super Glue is best, but Elmer's glue works fine too, from my experince.

I concur, cyanoacrylate super glue. I have used it on dozens of kitty ear magnets. I prefer the Gorilla brand if for no other reason than I have yet to have the bottle clog.
