another gs headlight diy question

What compound do you use when you "glue" it back together after in the oven for 200 degrees???

I searched but did not find out exactly what I wanted.

You dont use any compound, the glue that was on there will hold it back togather.

No j/b weld required, the original glue is all there pretty much and it sticks like crazy so why make it more complex?

because the factory headlight have codensation issues. it is always good to add another type of glue. i used a pvc cement. it is good up to 180 psi. i dont think i will be having a problem in the future.
