Follow our step by step application guide:

Say goodbye to loose screws that over time can make wearing glasses uncomfortable and even fall out. Just one tiny drop of Loctite Super Glue Liquid repairs eyeglasses in no time, so you can get back to your day. For fiddly repairs like this one, the Precision applicator is ideal as it features a longer nozzle to help you with pin-point applications. The Super Glue Liquid then dries transparent to form tough invisible bonds, and the high strength formula ensures that the screw remains firmly in place with long lasting durability.

3. Using a small screw driver, pop the loose screw back into the hole and tighten it immediately as far as it will go.

4. Don't worry if some excess glue has seeped out at this point, it can be easily removed once dry (see point 6).

6. Once dry, if there is any excess residue, you can gently scrape it off with a sharp knife, wipe with a tissue dipped in Loctite Glue Remover or nail varnish remover containing acetone.
