Ok, not an industrial question, but...
My wife dropped the lid to our instant pot. The lid has a handle on top, and two ears on the side, all cast in a phenolic (matte finish though) plastic. One of the ears got cracked. not completely separated, but cracked and week. It's an area with a very short screw going into the ear from the inside of the pot.
My plan is to drlll out a through-hole for the screw, adding a flat-head countersunk nut to the outside and using a bolt and not a screw from the inside. In addition, I want to glue the plastic where it cracked.
My go-to adhesive solution is West Systems G/Flex 650. However, it lists a heat deflection temperature of 127°F. The description says that it can routinely handle temps up to 200°F.
Is that enough high temperature performance? Is there a better high temp resistant adhesive?
