Forest Cobbler Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hi Do any of you watch repair gurus have any tips on the best way to refix the batons on a watch face after they've dropped off? I generally use a pair of thin tweezers to hold the baton while I try to line the little pegs up with the holes, but it's really tricky and I feel there must be a better way. Thanks, Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeemz Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 rodico on a tip of a tooth pick..pick it up using sticky rodico, a dab of glue ( i use b7000 mobile phone lcd glue) align it press it down , then put pressure with another dry toothpick and lift the stick ended toothpick .let it dry..

hakeemz Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 if you dont have rodico you can use blutac but beware it some times leaves a slight mark which u have to clean once dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 If you accidentally use a tad too much glue does the b7000 glue remove easily without marking the dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeemz Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 yes unlike superglue it doesnt leave any marks, Mike at Vauxhall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 What would you clean any excess b7000 off with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Been using glue cement, but will be ordering some b7000 to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I use b7000 occasionally when I'm beading and find it a bit 'stringy', much like UHU or pizza cheese. But maybe my tube is a bit old, so I'm going to buy a new one and try it out next time I have batons to replace. I've got the Rodico and there's toothpicks at home, so I'll be good to go.

hakeemz Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 yes b7000 is stringy..grab one end and pull and it will come clean off, without leaving a mark..secret is to use as little as possible to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
