Can I glue together a broken handle on a pot lid? If so, what kind of glue should I use?

Question

I just broke the handle on a pot lid. It's part of a set and fits all my other pots perfectly. I don't want to have to buy a new set just to replace one lid. I'm wondering if I can glue it back together. I'm concerned because of the high heat associated with cooking. This pot lid covers my skillet as well as a large soup pot and gets a lot of use. Thanks!

Answer 1

You could probably do it with E6000 or gorilla glue that stuff holds anything. I would worry about temperatures though. You wouldn't want  a hot lid to go and break on you. Sounds Dangerous. How about you just call the manufacturer and get a new lid or tell them you just bought a set and the lid is broken. They'll send you a new one if the set is current.

Answer 2

gorilla glue

Answer 3

i would try the plastic weld epoxy at wal-mart...

Answer 4

A lot of glues will work but I wouldnt do it.

The changes of temp could cause the glue to fail at a bad time.

Try getting in touch with the manufacturer to see if they can give you a replacement.

Answer 5

I would use either super glue or go to the auto store and see if there is a hi temp gasket glue for manifolds.

Answer 6

I'll bet Gorilla Glue would do the trick.

GORRILLAGLUE AT ACE OR HOME DESPOT
