[Boatanchors] Repairing Ceramic - Answer

[Rob Atkinson]

Hi Jim,

I may have been mistaken.  This is what I get for weighing in without
doing some fact checking.  Wikipedia says JB Weld can be used inside
microwave ovens.  A FAQ on the JB Weld website says it does not
conduct electricity.  So I guess it is okay.  That means we have a few
options for glue.
I repaired a broken ceramic shaft insulator with JB Weld back before I
heard it was supposedly metallic and now I guess I can use it without
worry.
