This is how I glued back a metal trimming decal on Sharp GF 555
Job beautifully done in just minutes!
Most of the Sharp GF 555 and GF 666 I have come across lost 1 or 2 or all of the trimming decals upfront. These decals mark out the cassettes and the APLD function, serving as important decorative for the unit, so I really wanted to glue them back.I considered using contact cement, super glue, silicone or epoxy adhesive and finally I decided to try Gorilla Super Glue, because (1) it is very strong and fast-dry; (2) it is thicker than most super glues on the market while it is thinner than epoxy adhesive.
This means it is much easier to thin evenly on the surface you work on, as well as to precisely control the amount you use. It is particularly so when you use the applicator (the brush) included.
I think the following are very important:
Clean the surfaces to be glued and sand them gently (I use fingernail sander from $ Store to do this job)
Use a tiny amount of the glue on one surface only, nicely even it out using the brush that comes with the glue. Don't over use the glue: the manufacturer recommends one drop for a surface of 6 Sq cm!
Have a latex glove, some cotton wiper and alcohol on side just in case you have an emergency.
Good luck!
