I have a number of 1930's glass doorknobs which are loose, not at the set screw, but between the glass knob and the brass holder. Nearly every knob in the entire house has the same problem. They all have a steel thread, a solid brass compression member, and a glass (or perhaps lead crystal) knob. I know I can purchase reproductions, but can I save these? The one on the left rattles but is usable. The one on the right is to illustrate the construction and show a prior owner's repair (the dent is a hammer mark). That one had cracked glass, got looser and looser with time, until the glass broke off completely. This worked much better. The local hardwood distributor recommended and carries super thin "super glue". Turn the knob in the usual direction to set it tight, then apply glue to the glass/metal junction (it will wick right inside). Keep acetone handy in case you dribble. Scrape excess off with a small screwdriver. What will we do when local stores no longer exist?

Try #1: Liquefied MDI adhesive. For my first attempt I assembled hot water, a thermometer, glue, Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate (MDI) glue, and a straw. The MDI is a thick glue, so the trick was making it thin enough without creating toxic fumes: Used a straw to extend the tip of the glue bottle. Heated water to 120F to liquefy the glue in the bottle. Dropped knob in water to activate glue and heat metal. Turned glass knob to be as loose as possible, to allow glue to flow. Carefully poured glue inside, and "swished" it around. Dried the threads as best as I could. Turned glass knob to be as tight as possible to "clamp" the MDI glue. MDI is an expanding glue, and indeed I had over-expansion which almost created a huge mess. Also note the caution from customer service at Gorilla Glue: Heating Gorilla Glue before using it will thin it. The safest way to do this is to put the bottle in a cup of hot water; do not boil bottle on stove top or put into a microwave.
