Reattaching the handle portion of a corny keg

[edasaurus]

Anybody know what would be the best way to reattach the black, rubber handle section to the top of a corny keg.

I got a corny keg where one handle comes loose from the keg itself.

glue it
use strong glue

I've got a keg that part of the handle is coming loose. Once I empty it, I plan on epoxying it down, most household epoxys should work, I would think.

Gorilla Glue.

I think epoxy would be your best bet. Gorilla glue would also hold but it expands and you will need to clamp the handle in place.

Good point about the expansion. But that stuff holds hella well.

I used gorilla glue. clean the surfaces, wet, apply thin thin layer of glue, set something heavy on it.

+1 gorilla glue + clamp/weight

Also, be around to wipe away the glue that bubbles out.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'm gonna give the gorilla glue a try.

I am a JB weld kind of guy. I've fixed engine heads with the stuff and never had a failure.
I have had gorilla glue fail in situations I thought it shouldn't have.
