I have a little "Hale's Crescent" machine that came in a cabinet with 4 drawers. It had a chain lift assist which was anchored in the underside of the lid (lifting the machine as the lid opened), but the entire mechanism had been ripped out, so a chunk is missing out of the lid. I HAVE THE MISSING PIECE, which has the metal part the chain would attach to.
We can surely glue this back in place, but my question is, will it ever be trustworthy? Which kind of glue would be best? I don't have to be historically correct on this one, I'd just like it to be secure. (I have Gorilla wood glue.)
