Thanks for the suggestion! I did some googling, and while there seems to be very little out there about gluing glass viewfinders and lenses to metal and bakelite, someone mentioned the use of burnt shellac. I happen to have some orange shellac flakes lying around-- all you do is put some in a can, light it on fire, let it burn for 5 or so min., and then you have a somewhat weak glue that's great for bonding non-porous materials. It's also easy to reverse with denatured alcohol...sounds like the perfect stuff for the job. The remnants of glue on the camera are kind of brittle and orange, so who knows? |
