I'm hoping you lot can help me. My weak-framed glasses have finally given way. I tried superglue, but it doesn't appear to be strong enough on the small surface area that needs to be glued. I could get them soldered, but Vision Express, who have labs onsite, are going through a refit so they aren't available currently.

I'm therefore considering trying contact lenses. I don't know what my prescription is, or pretty much anything else about them. Recommendations please, with costs?

Try a two-part epoxy resin (like Araldite).

Nononono! For your glasses, not your eyes!

Cyano-Acrylates ain't the panacea they like to sell 'em as.

You can get epoxy at Maplin and All Good Model Shops. And Hardware Stores.

Bah. I'll give Araldite a go later then - ta for the tip.

If you just need a drop of twinbead i've got both 1-hour Araldite for medium strength and some 24-hr i'd-almost-trust-it-to-hold-me-to-the-ceiling stuff :)

Doh - just too late. I bought some on the way home from B&Q. I need some around the home anyway. Thanks for the thought :)

Boo! If you're ever sticking metals together and don't want to bother with heat, I can also utterly and totally recommend Devcon Plastic Steel. It's got Bits in.
