Any suggestions [on glues]?

OK, to revive this thread, I've had zero luck gluing ABS studless beams to the
backside of mirrors - superglue doesn't seem to stick at all. Any ideas? What am
I doing wrong, etc.? 2 component epoxy isn't likely to work either, given the
smooth backing on a mirror, right? Help?

OH, and if it matters, I also want this bond to remain very firm at temperatures
as low as -60° C. Yeah, I know, out of the normal range of experience, but I
thought I'd ask.

Brian, I would try a dab of silicone adhesive caulk. You can check the specs but
think would be good down to -60----if not there are some that are. Messy but
would bet it would work. Also, try roughing up the beam with bit of sandpaper
which might give it a bit more tooth. I take it that if you sand the back of the
mirror, it would probably do away with the reflective coating. The silicone
might dissolve it also, but I doubt it.

(...) Brian, Have you tried Gorilla Glue? You just have to be careful not to use too much as it expands as it dries.
