Working on a prop that needs to have a shot glass stay put when its placed on a tray and tipped but yet removable. don't want to drill the glass. The shot glass has a 1" recess 1/16" deep in the bottom. I used superglue to fix a small 1/4" x 1/16" disk magnet then embedded an opposing one on the tray. Works great but would like to make sure that magnet never comes off. Thinking of a liquid epoxy to just fill the well. Might even color it so the little magnet is hidden better. Any ideas on a good material to do this with or a better method.
Thanks for any help

Goop will work and dries clear. http://eclecticproducts.com/products/amazing-goop.html
Super Glue dries hard and is brittle and will not take much handling where as Goop dries similar to a clear hard rubbery consistency. Another similar glue is E6000 you can find both in Walmart in the craft or glue and tape section. The E6000 is also available in a small multi pack of 4 0.1,8oz tubes and usually found in the craft section. |

E6000 would work great for this problem.

Glass and mirror stores sell clear glue for glass and mirrors. I would check with them as they are the experts in this field.
I would say to use clear Epoxy glue, the 5 minute version is clear. In the manufacturing company I use to work for we used a lot of Loctite clear glue brand, has to use a hammer to break the seal. |

Is the E6000 self leveling or will it need to be tooled.

E6000 is self leveling as is Goop and are quite similar.
They're made by the same manufacturer http://eclecticproducts.com/ |

Thanks for the info. Asked a glass shop as well and they recommended Goop E6000.

I was standing in line to pay for my items at JoAnne's Fabric Store yesterday, and I looked down and there was racks of E6000, I was tempted to pick a tube up for some tricks I am making. I looked at the price, have to wait until next payday.
