    Thanks for all the kind condolences and bursts of song :pac::pac::pac:

    I have to replace it though as my electric spice grinder does not cut the mustard :eek: when grinding poppy seeds to a paste for my Butter Chicken Curry.


    On the hunt........

    (Hit me......must be granite)

    Well if you'll settle for marble rather than granite, and you're in Dublin, IKEA have one for only €11. We've had one for a few years and it does the job nicely.

    Think granite has more of a "Rub"...for those stubborn seeds.

    Superglue is a brittle sort of glue. If you are pressing directly down it should hold up well, but if you are doing a lot of rocking motion under force it will give way.

    It has a nasty rough looking break, which is a good thing for glue!

    It still has some length on the bottom bit. Another option would be to get some wood as a handle, of a thicker diameter, and drill into it and then glue the end bit into the wooden handle. If you can drill precisely it could be a friction fit.

    A proper, slow drying epoxy resin would have been a much better solution.
