Handyman role: glues: Rapid Grip
Self-tutoring about home repair jobs: the tutor mentions Rapid Grip glue.
The following is according to my understanding/experience.
I picked up some Rapid Grip, by Via-Chem, at a dollar store a while back. It’s meant to applicable for a lot of situations. Moreover, it’s meant to be water-proof once fully cured.
I put Rapid Grip to a difficult test last week, re-gluing a glass shower door into an aluminum clip that holds it from the top.
Rapid Grip requires the surfaces be clean and dry, and it achieves full strength after a day. It should be used in a well-ventilated area. I turned the bathroom fan on, made the repair, then left the shower door leaning securely against the wall, fan still on, and closed the door.
A day later I inspected the repair. It seemed, possibly, to have worked, so I put the door back on its rails.
It’s been five days now, and the repair seems to have held. It’s a tough task to ask of a glue, holding that shower door. Perhaps Rapid Grip has come through:)
