Good afternoon one and all, and best wishes for a Happy, Heathy and Productive New Year

Some while ago I had a windscreen chip and crack repair done, which included bleeding adhesive into the crack. If the adhesive is clear and has the same refractive index as the glass, then the repair is invisible.

I'd very much like to use the same technology to repair the glass of the VU meter of a vintage portable microphone mixer. Any suggestions what is a suitable potion, and where do I buy it please? Is the UV curing Loctite used for sticking rear view mirrors to windscreens the right sort of stuff?

Best rgds, and as always many thanks in anticipation

Simon

Thank you both for your expert attention -

Bill, it's going to take ages to dismantle the meter from the instrument and I don't know if I can do so without the complications of co-lateral damage. But I may well face this and take you up on your kind offer thank you. I'll be in touch.

MichaelG as ever thank you for your encyclopaedic knowledge of the internet and the expertise therein. I'm doing my homework even as you read this!

Best rgds Simon

A couple of days late to the party, but I've just had one of those annoying ads pop up in my Facebook feed.
Some miraculous glue for mending car windscreens and phone screens etc.
Specially reduced from £30+ to a tenner, from a firm which may or may not exist.

However, plugging a few similar words into ebay came up with this stuff for rather less.
At £3.85 delivered, I might just try one to keep in stock.
