Help fixing Lighthouse pen!

[TN_Eric]

Not sure where this post belongs, sorry.

Was photographing some pens this morning. A Lighthouse pen I was shooting, fell off the stand it was on and the "light dome" came off. Not the first time this happened but when I tried fixing that one, I used CA glue, and it "clouded" up the plastic dome. I don't want to repeat the same mistake.

What can I use, or what did "they" use, to glue this on, and can I do better?

I would suggest a clear epoxy.

Like the stuff I use to glue the tubes into the blanks? It dries clear!

If you bought it from PSI they will most likely send a new part at no charge

Didn't get it from PSI directly but another vendor who carries them too, but thanks!

Try asking that vendor. Nothing to lose.

You could always try UV Resin.

I tried clear epoxy and was able to get it back on, but it smeared the black paint that's around the base. Was able to get a replacement from PSI. All good. Thanks!
