  Cyanoacrylate is available in super-thin, thin, medium or high viscosity - which is better for tubes? Is it the case that the thinner viscosity penetrates down further into the base? Just guessing here....

    that stay relatively cool, but not for ones that get really hot. Cyanoacrylate softens at about 60C/140F. Silicon can stand up to 300C.

    I don't worry about viscosity, the over the counter "super glue" has always worked well.

      I agree some of my globe 46's base were loose , cheap harbor freight super glue works very well.

    The thin stuff seems to work the best for me. If you accidentally get the gel stuff, it won't weep down and disappear like you want it to.

      Crazy Glue is one of the trademark names I believe.
