Gorilla Glue! It's a polyurethane adhesive, and it's none conductive. I was in my Shop trying to mount my Sen Diode, but I couldn't find anyway to keep it in the mount, so as a last resort, I pulled out the Gorilla glue. I spread it around the diode, and let it dry, by the next day it had expanded to the top of the mount, it worked perfect.

Here's a pic of it:

I then used it to set the mount onto my AA maglite, worked like a charm, it's very sturdy, and I was able to glue it almost perfectly level with the maglite case.

Well I'm off to go buy a tail cap switch for a AA maglite :)

Hm. I've heard lots of people recommend Gorilla Glue. Tried some out though and I hated it! The foaming action or whatever its called can really mess up what seemed like a good glue job. It saves you the trouble of mixing epoxy resin, but I'd prefer a good dab of epoxy any day.

JB weld will fix anything. believe me, i know ;)
as for super glue, it works, but i will just manage to glue my fingers together again. last time i used super glue, i glued my fingers together and did not have any paint thinner so i used a razor blade to cut them apart. thats why no one should trust me with super glue. ;) ;) ;)

Definitely use rubber gloves when working with polyurethane. That stuff takes forever to clean up from.

True story..... I fixed my garbage disposal that had two holes in it from some dipstick putting a spoon or fork or something in it and turning it on!... I put on one layer, then layer of drywall mesh, then anothe layer on top... fixed a hole about the size of the end of your index finger!

The only bummer is you "do" have to let it set up.... but the negatives to the instant stuff is there is no forgiveness if you place it wrong the first time.

It works good will glue anything, but i find how it foams up to be anoying.
Like it will expand like 2x which makes it usualy seep out of what ur working with.
