I have a glass top and metal stand coffee table. The glass top fell
off the metal stand when I tried to move the coffee table. It's kinda
of heavy, maybe I push too hard on the glass. Anyway, glass is not
broken yet. It's been used for 2 years. I want to keep and fix it. I
like its fancy looking.

My friend told me maybe I can try to use the UV glue to adhere the
glass to the metal. I've been asking around and couldn't find a shop
to buy UV glue. Does anyone know where I can buy it in Greater Vancouver Area? Any store has this kinda of repair service and how much it gonna
cost?

If I get the UV glue, is it easy to repair by myself, and how can I do
it??

Millions of thanks for any helpful input:!::!::!:

Buy some silicone caulking or other caulking type glue. Probably not the absolute best thing to use, but it's cheap, easily available, and it'll do the job.

+1, but use pure silicone, not silicone caulking.

Its about $6 / tube at home depot. Nowadays you don't even need a caulking gun, you can get self-pumping kind.

Just a warning though - be CAREFUL with the silicone and the glass, because it is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to get any of it off of glass that you don't want, even while it is still wet - you have to buy this other stuff called silicone remover (I unfortunately had this experience gluing up a mirror).
