Hi fellow Arachnids,
Please be VERY careful with Araldite as there are people allergic (including
me and my son)to this. Both the skin and the lungs could suffer even in a

See if you can get any 'watch Chrystal' cement, it is made for fastening
'glass' to metal.
I used it when I was a jeweler. I got it from a jewelry supplier. May be
