We have a number of 6x6.5x.25 glass signs that are glued to 3 short plastic rods about .5 in dia. These rods are glued to the window next to the door. The problem is that lately they have been coming down. 3 have broken and they are not cheep to replace. I have tried super glue, some have stayed and others have come down. Does anyone have any ideas for gluing these signs to the window?

Raymond- I'm a firm believer in "Lexall"- it's clear, comes in small tubes (or caulking size), inexpensive, and after 24 hours it's not coming down or off. I clamp or tape overnight. I use it on anything that needs to be permanent. If you're working on glass though and have a need to remove it, it can be broken off and then razor-bladed to remove the bits and pieces and your solvent should clean the surface perfectly. Any other surface- forget it! I get Lexall at ACE Hardware but I'm sure it's available everywhere. It's a terrific product- much better than Gorilla Glue (which I used exclusively until the ACE manager gave me a tube of Lexall just to try). Just my 2 cents worth.

why not clear pure silicone. it is the best adhesive and is a vibration damper and flexible. you'll just have to hold it in place while the silicone sets with tape.
