I will ask tomorrow
but its a glue thats baked on the glass, and the glass is 40" across
so probably going to have to do 2 round trips to calgary

i might try gluing a SS washer to a peace of glass an see how it turns out
i really wanted this in place on saturday for the new house

the sooner i finish getting the house the way we want it the sooner I can start my tank

Try the adhesive for automotive rear view mirror mounting. You should be able to get it at any decent auto parts shop. It makes a pretty strong bond between the metal mirror base and the windshield and is clear.

That's what I was going to suggest. Or clear two part epoxy. Either might look a little globby if you use too much but if it's going to cost hundreds of dollars to fix you may think it doesn't look too bad.

The rear view mirror epoxy worked like a charm
Coffee table is set up , 1 more load to move then just unpacking
