O-ring
O-ring
(OP)
I have to make an O-ring, but I'm using a Buna-N cord (widht 1/2 IN). The question is... How can i joint both ends?. I know I need a glue but which one can I use? and what are my options?
Thanks

What pressure?
What's the circumference of the joined ring?

Small enough to make by casting silicone in a wax mold.
If you have to stretch the ring much for installation, the cyanocrylate may be a problem. It's just about the least awful adhesive for o-rings, but you can't expect miracles.
I could swear that my '70 Mercedes used rings about that size to hang the muffler.

Alternatively, you could have a custom o-ring made.

It takes longer $$$ wise to make one than the o-ring costs (usually)
O-rings are cheap why waste time on them?
