Super Glue Metal Epoxy Knowledge Base

Which glue, epoxy or whatever would be best for this small job? I have three decorative knobs on my bathroom cabinets. The part that fastens to the cabinet doors is metal. The decorative part is glass. The glass part seats in a recess in the metal part. Recently, one of the cabinet doors was stuck and a family member pulled the knob too hard and the glass separated from the metal. After I fixed the door (I trimmed one end), I glued the glass and metal together--twice!--and each time it lasted no more than a day. I haven't tried any epoxies yet, but I tried one glue (I forget its name) and, since I had it lying around the house, the "all glass" Super Glue (Super Glue's website seems to indicate that this is best for "glass on metal" too, and I can't tell if they even make a "glass on metal" glue or epoxy). Can you suggest something that you think would work? Thanks so very much.
How can you attach metal screws holding a metal frame into a wooden table once they've come loose? Presumably the thread of the screw has been obliterated. I was thinking of putting some super-strong glue into the hole, but this has to not set before the screws have gone in and the hole is quite sticky as it is with no glue at all. It also has to be super-strong to support a heavy table so it doesn't come loose again. Would superglue be ok, or would some type of epoxy glue be better or do you have a better idea?
what can you use to stick small pieces of metal together? i've tried an epoxy 2 part mixture and some extra strength super glue but it comes apart easily. Would sanding the metal help? and covering the metal pieces with ice resin to act as a seal?
Broken eyelgalss frame -- need to repair? My metal eyeglass frame has broken at the nose piece (separating the glasses into two halves). The break occurred riight where the curved nose piece attaches to the main frame just next to the lens. A previous soldered repair "sealed" the screw such that I cannot take the lens out, so that soldering is out. I did "try" some super glue, but it didn't hold. However, it was not a "brand name" and may not have been the best choice. Is there a glue/cement/epoxy that I can use to attach (perhaps just 1-2 mm of contact is avaialable) the two parts of the metal frame to get a "good enough" repair? I am not certain of the material but it is light, and possibly aluminum or a light alloy. I wear contacts, so these are backups and I don't wanrt to spend $$$ for a new set since I rarely use them. Also, any recommnedqations on how to improve the bond to give it the best strength would also be helpful. Thanks in advance
What epoxy is Best? I've had a lot of trouble with JB Kwik, lately.? I used to use JB weld for everything. Lately, it seems it doesn't want to stick to itself. If I try to add more, say, if I find a leak or a void on hardening, the new epoxy doesn't adhere. I have to go down to bare metal and start again. And, the JB kwik I've used (there are times I can't wait 24 hours or the stuff runs out of the hole) has just Crumbled on hardening. It's soft as plaster. I've tried 2 batches, months apart, same result. Yes, I mix it evenly and thoroughly. I roughen the surface then clean with acetone. Are any of those Super Epoxies (you know, showing a golf ball glued to a bottle) any good? I tried a few, they weren't as good as Original JB weld. I'm getting tired of spending more money trying epoxies than a new part is worth. Feel I should start my own website. Yes, I've Emailed JB weld. I figure they owe me for a few bad tubes. I've also heard of Devcon (the cream colored stuff) from Home Depot. I tried PC 7 , again, the stuff they show on a bottle, guess what? After 12 hours,like direcxtions say, Soft. I could push my thumbnail into it. And $7. I mixed it at 77 degrees , and as close to 50/50 as possible with a putty. and thoroughly. I put the pieces in the oven at 150 deg. on a whim--They got Hard! But this is stupid. I shouldn't have to. And some pieces are, of course, too big to go in the oven. I think I might check CR at the library. I can't see resubscribing just for a few dollars of epoxy. I can get another clutch lever for $5 at a junker....
