Glue

I have an older pair of Arnette sunglasses where the nosepiece is glued to
the frame. It has come detached on one side. I've tried gluing it back on w/
superglue but it doesn't hold well or very long.

Any suggestions?

Your mistake was in trying to glue it to the glasses. Use the superglue to
attach it to your nose.

Perhaps a careful application of an epoxy would be a better way. I think
superglues are too brittle. Plus you might end up with a little more
surface area with glue on it with epoxy.

these other guys are clueless when it comes to advice expected of this
highly esteemed site.

use JB weld and smear it all over your face and lose the nose piece. apply
some to the glasses frame and then stick to face. it will double as sunblock
for those dangerous UV rays.

If the nosepeice is 'rubbery' you might try some barge cement. You
can get it at any shoe repair place or good hardware.

I think I have tried Barge Cement at one point and it didn't work. Maybe the
epoxy will. I think the problem is the nosepiece is probably some of that
hydrophilic (hope that isn't a marketing ploy) rubber and it seems to be
glue-o-philic, too.

Yes.

Buy a new pair of sunglasses.

Carl,

Clean off whatever glues you have tried and use an RTV
(Room Temperature Vulcanizing) adhesive such as ShooGoo,
Goop or Zap a Dap a Doo. This works very well for glueing
nose pieces back on and for creating new ones.

tubular glue. it works on many things that superglue and epoxy won't.
