I've cleaned the last lens in my "fungus box", and unless I get on to eBay pretty quick and restock, I'm going to have to start on the cameras in my "perforated curtains" box!

Can anyone in the UK recommend suitable adhesives? As I understand it, for fixing the curtains and ribbons to the spindles, I will need a liquid glue which will brush on, and will act as its own solvent on a second application if I have to peel the joint apart and readjust the position. Secondly, I reckon I'll need a contact adhesive to fix the ribbons to the curtains, and I don't know of anything I would trust to be strong enough. I may stitch the ribbons as well, but I would still like a good joint to start with. Also are there any issues with solvents in the adhesive which might shrink, weaken, or wrinkle the rubberised coating?

Advice would be much appreciated!
