Porcelain faucet repair
Is it ok to glue part of a porcelain faucet handle together? The center is stainless steel. One corner of the faucet cracked off.
If I glue the piece on and need to replace the faucet later, will it be impossible to get the faucet off?

I guess that would be dependent on where this piece is.

It is a compression faucet, and the handle has 4 knobs. One of the knobs cracked off.

Impossible? nah. You said your faucet was porcelain and stainless steel. I haven't seen any glue become strong that it is impossible to remove from those materials.

You are going to have more trouble in just getting the glue to even work. Most of the super glues are a lot less "super" in a damp environment.
