Cross posting for TWO KITTEHS:
I can't get the topic search feature to work right now, so I'll post this question in here. Our front porch has thin tiles on it, not those thick terracotta Spanish type tiles. One of them fell off from the step down. What is the best kind of glue/cement to get to stick it back on with?

the landlord kind.

oh. it's not your tile. nevermind.

If you use red (the material not the tube), it sets when torqued (it's like super glue, it uses pressure and the absence of air to set) but I give it about 10 minutes before returning to service. It says full cure in 24 hours, but at just about an hour you are looking at getting some heat on it unless you want to mess up the threads or the screw head when disassembling.

I generally recommend blue for anything you plan to ever take apart again.

I decided to give him access to the choices on Amazon(but not the account {#Stop}

) and let him choose what he wants as a replacement chair.Its kind of a shame since it's not an old model,but in order to get access to the screws on the right side armrest,I'd have to take the wheel off,then tap the female thread out(since I gunked it up with the red last night).I thought I could do it with no problem,but it turns out I needed a metric L wrench of some unknown size and my attempts to get in there to tighten things down with various sizes of regular Phillips were unsuccesful due to the angle I had to try from.I'd have to take the wheel off,retap the threads,wash and repeat.I used to be able to fix anything at 3 AM with almost no sleep for a couple days,but I guess not so much anymore. {#Lol}

I decided it's just better to get him a new one and give the old one to charity.
In the meantime,I've put the master of all repairs on it.

That is why we use it on eyeglass frames.

One note for anyone attempting an eyeglass frame repair for loose screws, do not use it if you have polycarbonate lenses. It will destroy them on immediate contact.

Thanks,but more conflicting info.I'm using the red,but it's so old and nasty(like the wheelchair occupant) that the writing on the tube is gone.

I've googled,but it's anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours,depending on what you read.

Where are Dave and CC when you really need them to be up at 3:30 AM EDT to answer your questions?

As long as it is wet and runny when you put it on, it will work.

We use the blue on eyeglass frames. The red IIRC is what you would use on head bolts on an engine.

Could use a hair dryer to accelerate the curing process.

Anyone awake that knows how long it takes for Loctite to cure?I have the current joy of fixing Pops wheelchair(if he would get the eff out of it and go to bed) since he found a screw he could access and remove(and bitch about).
Now I have to carry his ass everywhere until this latest ordeal from Hell is fixed.

Cause you know, who would want 3 hours of sleep all in one night? {#Frustrated}

Stellar recommendation! I wouldn't hold your breath waiting to hear back from him.

Not making jest of the loss of your friend. It always sucks when a close one checks out. Sorry for your loss, Bokey.

I know that hippie has in the past for some of his stuff. He was happy with their service. He actually lives just a couple of blocks from the shop. The couple of times I visited him, we went by it all the time driving around town. Doesn't hurt to self promote your stuff and hot link to them either.

Very sorry about your friend, man.

I was wondering how the download cards work. I've read everything I can find on them and I still don't get it.

When I see him again,I'll ask him.

However I don't expect any electricity and all the pens where we'd be at might be melted. {#Lol}

Sorry I couldn't help.

I missed something... what's this about?

A guy was shooting off a gun 3 houses down from me.I called 911.When the cops didn't show,I called again.Then when they didn't show again,I called back and reverted to language from my Navy days.

I was charged with some crap about misusing a phone.

They cuffed me and I had to have them send Pops to the hospital overnight.

I shamed him and got him back,now hoping his assistant(who created a 5 day communication gap by error and blamed it on the email system,but she's nice,well for a lawyer anyway) can make the continuence go through so I don't have to appear Friday.This guy is so high power,the judges fear him.It was like breaking up with a really hot chick.I was thinking I'd just FTA and say eff it until they came after me, then end game if that's how they want to play it.

Eff me, at least when I was younger and stupider and deserved to be in front of the judge occasionally (Damn drunks in bars running into my fists face first your Honor {#Lol}

) it was kind of a rush,but I'm too old for this.
