Bezel Insert...which Glue To Use??

[narikaa]

Not a new subject I know

But having been in correspondence with several people who have made a complete 'dogs dinner' of doing this heres a few things to note.

DONT USE SUPERGLUE!

Whatever you do use be careful in the application as it can so easily get on the crystal &/or down under the bezel (huge fun!!).

Recomendation - Run (dont walk) & buy yourself a tube of this:

Dries clear (use to bed crystals, replace CZs, etc etc etc)
Very inexpensive
But most importantly when you pull the cap off it exposes the dispenser.... a hypodermic needle from the front of the tube!! Perfect minimal application right on the spot.

No mixing no faffing about with cocktail sticks

Easy Peasey!

So can you take it back off again?

GS Hypo-cement is good and easy to use- the applicator is great. But I have had a bezel insert come off w/ it. Epoxy is also OK, but a little trickier to use, but probably more durable IMO. The big thing is to use the glue sparingly and make sure you glue the insert to the bezel and not the bezel to the case!
