<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 464700, member: 5833"]I was unfamiliar with the Loctite brand, but do have some other clear super glue-type liquid adhesive. I could not tell what was different about the formulation for glass. It sounds the same in that clean, dry surfaces have to meet smoothly; it does not fill in any gaps. (The table part of the cameo is smooth. The back of the figure feels faintly textured to me but hopefully just enough for the glue to get a good grip without disturbing the bond.) Is there any significant difference between the glass-specific one & others?</p><p><br /></p><p>I was planning on putting a dab of glue onto some wax paper (am I the last person who has this around?) & applying to the back of the figure with a toothpick. It's figuring out how to handle the figure & maneuver it into place quickly without gluing it to my own fingers that is challenging me. Something to do the job of a dop stick is definitely what's needed. Had not thought of chewing gum, was wondering if I could somehow use the putty I have for taking impressions of intaglios. But I also have to be able to see exactly where I'm placing the piece while holding it securely. Am going to see if clear packing tape holds the figure securely enough for long enough. Only thing I can think of that might allow me both to get a grip & see what I'm doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, most important, make sure the work space is cat fur-free. Will let you know.
