Found glass glue

The wife had a perfume bottle made in China and the stopped was glued to the top, and she dropped it cleaning and broke it off, so I ask in here and got some good tips, was at Lowes buying some other stuff, checked the glue and they had Loctite Extreme Repair adhesive, its an all temperature adhesive that is aquarium safe, and used to fix aquarium, got it for $ 4.85 and it has held good and dried clear. But have looked everywhere and can't find the E-6000 anywhere anymore, So thanks for your tips.

Since when is this stuff hard to find? Pay attention now.... E-6000 is also marketed under the GOOP brands naming.... ShoeGoop, PlumbersGoop, MarineGoop, you name it.... same great stuff, same company. Every hardware store has one 'name' or another of Goop. It's only about marketing games, not about chemistry.

"Thank you for inquiring about our Amazing GOOP? Adhesives. To answer your question, here are the differences between the different items in the GOOP Adhesives line. Craft GOOP contain a thinner formula for precise, detailed work. Amazing Goop, Wood & Furniture , Automotive GOOP, Household GOOP and Plumbing GOOP are all the same formula. Lawn & Garden GOOP, Marine GOOP?, RV GOOP and Sport and Outdoor GOOP are all UV-resistant.Shoe GOO is a more rubbery formula allowing for greater flexibility"

I think I'll watch for that Craft GOOP then, cause a little thinner formula would be more friendly for many things. The UV resistance is good to know about too. I used some flavor of non-UV GOOP to patch small holes in a car cover back when.... it yellowed badly but outlived the cover itself. UV-resistant GOOP would be a plus. Somewhere back in this thread I thought I saw the term silicone applied to GOOP, but I don't think so. I don't smell the acetic acid off-gassing of silicone from GOOP, which is also much tougher and a superior adhesive to any silicone I've used. Back in the Stone Age I glued some earring posts to fused glass with silicone, which failed in short order.... but I tried GOOP and they stayed stuck! Been convinced ever since. I use GOOP to gl;ue many things, silicones for caulk ....... although I do recall watching a piece of 3' tall x 12' long - 3/4" thick plate glass get suspended BY SILICONE ONLY above human traffic ... no kidding.... per Corning. I should go back and check on that piece someday. Back in '85 I bet it 'twas... I etched it, but I didn't hang it. cheers, JB

Silicone is actually a category of products, single and double mix solutions, for gluing, molding, insulation etc. E-6000 has an incredible odor, much stronger than acetic acid. GOOP - the 3 versions I've used is less smelly. Notice, once again that GOOP and E-6000 are actually contact cements (per the directions) that can be used for direct adhesion with longer setting time. GE Silicone adhesives are never contact cements, stay soft and can be cut away from the seal if need be.
