My flatiron (hair straightening iron) fell and the ceramic plates came off. The iron still heats up but I don't know what to use to glue them back on. They did not chip or crack and there seems to have been glue residue already there in the frame where the plates fit.. They still fit perfectly in place but will not hold with regular super duper glue. Once the iron heats up, the glue melts and they fall out of place. I called the company, (CHI) and they are no help what-so-ever. I paid over $100.00 for it and I know it can be fixed with the right glue. Please advise me of the name and where to buy it. Thank you.

Gorilla Glue and Super Glue do not work.

You should look at the major companies products for high temperature adhesives.
High temp RTV should work, but you may need something with more conductivity depending where the heater part is.
Also look at high temperature Epoxy's incorporating iron or aluminium.
JB weld is good up to 500 degrees - see link

Just take the time, go to your local hardware store and just look at the working temperatures on the package, they all say how much heat they can withstand.Because here you will get all sorts of mixed answers. There are epoxys out that should bond it but agian read the package do your own research see if it can bond ceramic and steel or watever the surface is, that will be your best bet.

The 2nd answer is right Gorilla glue and you can get it at home depot, I believe it is heat resistant and I know it will hold up under water.
Here is what thier web site says "Gorilla Super Glue works well up to temperatures as high as 200-220ºF. However, too much exposure to extreme heat will cause the strength of the bond to be compromised. Likewise, too much exposure to water, especially warm water, can compromise the strength of the bond."

I don't know if there is a glue that is not affected by heat,I think your best bet is to use thin metal wire to tie the pieces together,it might not look too good but it should work.

Gorilla glue will break down as low as dishwasher temperature in the presence of moisture. Could not withstand one dishwasher cycle before failing.

Scotch adhesive 2216. Worked in electronics manuf. for many years. It hold up too500 deg.F for awile. Ued to run circuit boards in 500 deg solder and this adhesive held.

Go to an autoparts store and ask. They will probably give you a red silicon base adhesive that can take high temps.

my family went thru 5 CHI in 3 yrs. Chi breaks within a few months and you have to pay $35 plus shipping to get it fixed.
Chi is being recalled now due to fire hazards. see:

CHI sucks!

J-B Weld Original Cold Weld Formula is good to 550°f. (I use it to bond brake lining to steel brake bands.)
