I think I read in here that Welders (industrial) had the best results for gluing bails to pendants. So which do I use? Welders or E6000?
Thanks to all you pros for the wealth of information on this board!

Lyn,
I've been using two-part epoxy from Wal-Mart with good results.
Rough up the back of the glass and the bail before applying the epoxy.

Search the archives on "E6000", "Loctite" and "Epoxy" -- there is a ton of information in past threads.

I have been using E-6000 with great results. You do need to rough up both surfaces, and it does fine.

2-part epoxy.
my studio is so cold I have 17 items of clothing on so the glue doesn't seem to harden off completely.
Digging it with your nail leaves a small indentation.
Solution; write schedule! Fire at 50degC and soak for 30 minutes!

Locktite - the glass broke (not the glue joint) when I tried to pull the join apart.
I use the non-yellowing UV product with Primer N, which is a quick set catalyst.
