    Hello.

    I was forced to dismantle the daylight lamps. The lampshade is made of plastic. Glued with glue which softened when heated in boiling water. What glue now replace the one that was at the factory? Is glue sticks suitable for electric guns? Is it better to glue with glass glue (although I'm afraid that if I glue the lamp together, it will be the chapel)? Or maybe you know some better solutions?

    The hot glue comes off. The sanitary silicone comes off. Glass glue yes, but it's a one-time action. Although wanting to cut.

    I glue the reflector glasses using polyurethane adhesive and sealant, e.g. made of 2W or Bolla, Novola (in a squeezing tube). It is "weaker" than glass glue because when heated, for example with a heat gun, the "joined elements" can be separated (with difficulty, but you can). Available for purchase at car paint shops. Greetings!

    I glued the lamps on the old glue, heating the edges of the lamp with a dryer / sprayer and pressing it firmly

    I would also stick on the old glue, unfortunately the glue is so little that the lamp is not fully sealed.

    old glue is usually gray, yes? :) There is gray silicone? There is :)
    I happened to stick up 3 sets of headlights and I glued 2 sets on gray silicone, I glued one set with black ones - all of them have been running so far and have not fallen apart and do not evaporate, so silicone is probably the best solution. Basically I did not try to use other means

    The problem is that the lamps have a protruding lampshade in relation to the base by almost 5 cm. These are oblique daylight lamps that steamed strongly.

    I stick silicone diffusers to glass - [glass, mirrors] colorless and I have never had a problem with evaporation

    I used Bolla windscreen glue - no problem, then I heated it and took it apart.

    Here it is not about evaporation, but about the fact that the lampshade can be removed if necessary, but also that the plastic lampshade is firmly glued and does not fall off.

    I need to stick the glass to the aluminum (or aluminum alloy) housing of the halogen lamp.
    I'm not going to take her apart anymore. Will the silicone for glass catch my glass with the metal housing of the halogen lamp?

    Rather, you won't be able to "disassemble" it later if you use "auto glass adhesive". Greetings!

    Only butyl glue in the form of tapes of different width and length. We do not use silicones because if necessary, we will not unfold the lamp

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers around finding suitable adhesives for plastic lamp shades, particularly those that can withstand heat. Users suggest various options, including polyurethane adhesives, gray and black silicone, and specific brands like Bolla and Technicqll. Concerns are raised about the effectiveness of hot glue and sanitary silicone, which tend to fail under heat. Glass glue is mentioned as a one-time solution, while butyl tape is recommended for applications where disassembly may be needed in the future. The importance of ensuring a strong bond without compromising the ability to remove the lampshade is emphasized.
