Loctite makes a low odor, non frosting type super glue sold in their Prism
Line. I expect other offer something similar. I've tried it from time to
time and it seems to works as advertised. However, as with most of this
glue, pretesting before use on critical equipment is always a good idea as
is the suggestion of using as little as possible. I find there is a
tendency to use much more than is necessary with this type of glue.
Best regards,
