Canuck88 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I pulled apart a 127 dial and it was glued together... after I re-lume it, do I need to glue it back together? If so, what kind of glue?? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what kind of glue?? Cheers! You can use superglue but let it dry overnight before re-assembling the watch as any residual glue will leave vapour marks on the dial otherwise. I now use dial dots (little adhesive pads to stick mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbj69 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 superglue is ok and will work but i would suggest a metal epoxy or cement, they cost very little but adhere longer time spand and doesnt get flaky like superglue can , just my two cents also the ones i mentioned give u some leadway time to move it around before it sets on u , hope this helps joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I pulled apart a 127 dial and it was glued together... after I re-lume it, do I need to glue it back together? If so, what kind of glue?? Cheers! I use GS Hypo Cement... For a few reasons, 1. It's got a fine tip for applying it, a few drops in the center area is all that's needed... 2. It dries slower than CA glue allowing alignment 3. And most important, if you get any of the glue on the dial face, it does not stick, you let it dry, and it peels right off...
