    Which glue do I use???

    Not eyeglass related but I'm gluing my hole in one Titlelist golf ball into a particle board plaque and I was thinking a simple Elmer's white would do.

    Oui?

    The real question is "which glue tastes best?" Do some research backed up with experimentation and get back to us!

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    That's a sly way to brag that you got a hole in one. Good job, I'm jealous.
    ...Just ask me...

    I have used Ileen's Tacky Glue for broken plates, etc. Works great and doesn't yellow. But, like Fezz said, for this task, you might need something a little stronger.
    Congrats on the hole in one!!
    :cheers:

    It gets better.

    It was a "sponsored" hole.

    I won $1000 and an invitation to go back to Myrtle Beach in the fall (so I'm told-- just got the check- haven't seen the invite yet) along with others from around the country who on a sponsored hole got a hole in one and take a shot for ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

    LOL...OK, in my mind's eye..I just pictured Uncle Fester (in your avatar) putting his pinky up to his mouth and saying 'one-million-dollars' (just like Dr. Evil in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery) :D

    Here's to ya....hope you win the $million$!!! :)

    Wow

    That's great! Try a hot glue gun, works great and if you ever have to re-mount you can easily without harming the ball....bot this could get a little riske' for some

    Turning a mole hill into a mountain

    You can take some measurements to confirm this but I believe that a golf ball is about 52 diopters in curvature. Fabricate your self a plus to grind minus lap to the proper radius and rough out a 20MM "bowl" on whatever you are mounting the ball.

    With that done you can use just about anything even school glue but if you want a real permanent bond use T-88 from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty.

    I would be inclined to:
    1 - drill a hole in the ball and the ball and use a pin
    2. rough the surface of the ball just by the hole
    3. use some araldite to glue the pin, board, ball
