what adhesive

[dolphinfreindly]

One of the markers off my Omega PO has come adrift, now I remember something about isocyanate (sp) glues causing fogging, so what should I use to reafix the marker?

thanks guys.

GS Hypo Cement. Get the marker sitting in its guide holes, but still raised up, and put one veeeery small dot under it.

Glues that are isocyanate give off a gas that bonds to organic matter immediately so if you have a finger print on your dial then the gas will bond to that and make it permanent. It is used by law enforcement to get finger prints off material that would normally be difficult to take a print off. Even if your crystal was perfectly clean if the glue had not fully cured and you refitted it then the gas would not be able to escape and would then collect under the crystal and any other finger prints there maybe for it to bond to. So that is why super glue is bad for watches.
