Need advice for adhesives
Logan:
Hello guys.
I need a glue that can bond with glass/crystal and plastic/rubber strongly, but won’t damage the material, and won’t contaminate the lens when volatilize.
Are there any recommendations?
Thanks!
Benta:
Contact adhesives.
SeanB:
UV cure epoxies are about the only ones you will find that will do the glass properly, and will work in a lens.

With rubber? Interesting. Do you have some specific hints?
jpanhalt:
Cyanoacrylic adhesives (CA, "superglue") were developed by Eastman Kodak to attach glass lenses to metals and plastics. Do not use on plastic lenses or use one of the non-fogging versions. They adhere quite strongly to rubber. There are rubberized versions that probably contain neoprene, if you need a flexible joint.
There used to be an ad on TV of a worker being lifted by a 1" square piece of rubber attached to his hard hat.
