Super Glue

These adhesives join with hydroxyl ions that are present on the glass's surface, creating a strong grip in a matter of seconds. Cyanoacrylate glues are also good for gluing metal, wood and ceramic to glass as they are able to withstand moisture and high temperatures. If you're working with a large project, however it's a good idea to invest in silicone or epoxy for a stronger hold and faster drying time.

In contrast, if the glass is going to be used as part of a windshield it's best to use an adhesive that is weatherproof.

Super glues typically take a few seconds to bond but they can have different cure times. Some require chemical accelerators to speed up the process, so it is important to follow the instructions of the manufacturer carefully. It's a good idea also to work in an area that's well ventilated and with windows open to improve air flow. This will help the glue dry faster.
