Anyone know what glue they used at the factory to keep
this in place
Usually a variation of Pliobond or contact cement. It forms a
removable bond if you apply to one surface and put the parts
together while the glue is wet. The problem with pliobond
is it gets tough/brittle with age.
Rubber cement works also, for a stronger bond use like contact
cement: apply to both surfaces, let dry to slightly tacky, and
then press the surfaces together. Not as strong as pliobond
but it doesn't get brittle.
As snoopy mentioned, RTV is also a good choice. RTV doesn't
stick well to un-anodized aluminum but shouldn't have any
trouble with lens barrels.
Sand all surfaces lightly with fine sandpaper, clean them off
with lighter fluid, then glue.
