Attaching Dial Glass to Tenite Escutcheon
#4

Hi,

I think you may have it. I'd thought of using glue but had dismissed it due to its permanence. Upon taking another look, however, if I place just a dab of glue between the edge of the glass and each of the original tenite piers to which the original spring clips were attached (well, the ones that still make contact anyway), it may work.

The glue will have (i) to be flexible so that the glass won't break if (when) the tenite warps again, (ii) to not dry out and (iii) will need to be removable in the future. I don't know my glues that well, so is this a spec for RTV? Perhaps I'll add a back-up to catch the dial glass should it ever come loose.

Thanks for your input so far,
Paul
