Sort of food & drink related I suppose. Can the collected wisdom & experience of ukb help me non-toxic metal fastening?
I have a brass peppermill that I'm very fond of, which has a base consisting of two halves soldered together. Rather lightly soldered together, as we learned when Frau M dropped it on the floor last week.
How to stick it back together? I'd like to solder it again, but I don't have access to facilities for silver soldering with a torch (and haven't practiced silver soldering with a torch since school metalwork classes a long, long time ago so I'd make a mess of it anyway). I fear an electric soldering iron would either not be hot enough for a heavy brass object and not work, or work and spread lead-based solder everywhere that would kill us.
So I'm reluctantly thinking about gluing. Non-toxic glues that work well with metal?
