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.
using a hot glue from a glue gun ? or a very strong heat resistant epoxy glue ie jb weld
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.

"I own a dragster. During a competition, the cylinder head cracked. I didn't have time to repair or replace it, so I filled the crack with J-B WELD. Well, I made my time trials, and took second place! The head still works great, and I'm not going to order a new one." [/p]
"My motorcycle had a gas tank leak. The dealer said it couldn't be fixed, and I'd have to get a new tank. A hardware store told me about J-B WELD -- and it did the trick! For a $4 investment, I saved $325. J-B WELD is not a gimmick product -- it is one that works!" [/p]
"I'm a welder by trade but find J-B WELD works better and easier on many jobs, like fixing the neck on my truck radiator. I wish other people knew how much J-B WELD could save them!" [/p]

"I've tried practically every 'repair kit' on the market. For radiators, gas tanks, water pumps, mufflers, etc., J-B WELD is without a doubt the best. Anyone who uses it will be just as amazed as I was. You have no competition." [/p]
"I was heartsick when the hooks on my mahogany hall tree broke off during a move. It had been in my family for generations. Everyone told me the broken metal could not be repaired because it is zinc, and nothing will repair zinc. 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! Thank you for a product that allowed me to restore this priceless heirloom!" [/p]

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 It's been replaced by a piece of tinfoil which keeps the popcorn from flying up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.
LM, did you find your glue yet?
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.
