Would like to resurrect the plastic housing for my popcorn maker (broke in 2 after 20+ years).  What kind of glue can I use?  Note: the section being glued won't actually make contact with food, but will get hot.

I've been down in the shop, looking for a glue that I used to use for glass called Goop.  It doesn't say whether it is heat resistant or not.  There is a Marine Goop too, that is good for plastic....but again ? on heat resistant.

  There is also Gorilla Glue....which is definitely heat resistant, but I don't know if it works on plastic.

OK....I just googled Gorilla Glue, and it does work on plastic.  Sounds like it might be what you're looking for Lil Me.

When I went to the hardware store to find replacement                hooks that matched the originals, they recommended J-B WELD. I made the repair myself, and it                is not only impossible to tell it was ever damaged; it was even sturdy enough to stand up to                my son swinging on the hooks!

I like my hot air popper.  A relative gave it to me back in the '80s.  I lost the metal butter cup years ago.  It's been replaced by a piece of tinfoil which keeps the popcorn from flying up

They really did make great popcorn.  If all else fails, there are also a ton of hot air poppers at the thrift stores these days....with the microwave popcorn being popular.

Actually, MrLM will be back this week, and said he'd deal with it.  I added it to his "list".  Actually, he quite enjoys MacGyvering.
