Fixing indicies

[graemeW]

One has fallen off, luckily it's in there still. How are these attached, and what's the best way to reattach.

I assume it has pins that go through the holes, glue from the back? Don't want to get glue all over the dial. Best kind of glue? Don't want to use super glue as it can haze.

I use Jewellers Cement and an old oiler.

Sometimes they fix OK from the back but on occasion they need fixing from the dial side.

Make sure you clear the holes first and any existing glue from to have the best chance of fixing from the back.

An alternative is UV cement on the back of the dial.

Thanks, I'll have a dig and see what I have around. I have loads of products from various hobbies, maybe one of them will suit. No UV resins/glued though.

I'll look up jewelers cement too.

 

Edit. I have some humbrol clearfix. Seems pretty similar to jewelers cement. I'll try that.

GS hypocement is another, used by jewellers and watchmakers.
