Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Edit: I decided to throw it out and order a new stainless steel one that's all one piece. Thanks for the help!
Elmer's? If kids can eat it, so can you!
Hahaha nice
Cyanoacrylate. Unless you're literally soaking it in your food I'm not too concerned about food safety with where the joint is - but of course I've been exposed to so many carcinogens that a little super glue won't matter
Search for FDA compliant epoxy. I wouldn't worry too much about the strength, whatever epoxy you get should be stronger than the factory bond. If it's FDA approved then it'll be up to the same kind of standards that the spatula was built to.
Go silicone instead of cooking with plastic
Stainless steel screw through the part where plastic and metal pipe meet. Or epoxy.
there's really no such thing
Certain tree based resins are actually used in cooking.
Pick one of those edible ones and reapply them every time this comes off.
There will be minute amount of gum going into your food, but it will still be food.
On the downside, those gums are easily water soluble, so depending on you long and hot you wash (and how tight the handle seals), you might see it coming off each and every wash. You won't have it coming off while cooking though (as long as you keep the junction out of water.
If its good enough to glue my fingers it will glue anything.
Seriously though we use this to glue orings together and then install them in hot working machinery.
Probably more expensive then a new spatula though
It wont last in the dishwasher.
I can see your fingers are separated in the photo.
That alone proves it ain't strong enough.
You have used glue to repair an o-ring?
It's common practice, you can buy oring lengths cut to size and glue together.
Not so much repair one as the rubber perishes.
Though if you cut one on initial installation you can glue it back together.
Or the other week i was repairing a leaking motor, didn't have the right size and width oring but i had the right width in one that was too big, so cut it shorter and away it goes
I don't have the sort of job where I deal with orings much anymore, but was always told - broken oring = trash, used oring = trash, pinched oring = trash, oring you don't like the look of = trash.
Not disagreeing with you, but the presence of a kit like that makes my eyeball twitch. :D
