what glue using on lens and mounts ?

JB Weld or preferrably JB Qwik if they have it in Australia.

some loctite 350 or chinese alternative (UV curing glue) might be nice... a small drop, 20 seconds of bluray light, and rock solid... not cheap though, at $40~$50 per 50 grams... but holy sh*t is this practical!

Any decent 2-part epoxy will do the job. I prefer JB-Quick, as Brad suggested. UV curing glue might be good too, just as long as it won't out-gas.

Whatever you do, don't use crazy glue, or anything called "super glue". These belong to a class of adhesives called cyanoacrylate glues, and they *will* out-gas with time, ruining your optics. (They also bond human skin in seconds, so they are a pain in the ass to work with.)

If you need someting for inside the laser or intracavity, try Hysol C1 White. Its ultra low outgassing if you need that. It is a ceramic loaded epoxy, and it can take high temperatures.
Does take a hour and a half to set up, and 24 hours for a full cure.
Cost is reasonable.

I am trying RTV silicon in my current build. Got the idea from One Stop Laser Shop.
