A! Rubber Eyepiece

[Ivan Berger]

The rubber eyepiece on my Dimage A1 has been gradually coming loose and
has just fallen off altogether. Anyone know what kind of glue I should
use to re-attach it? (I had it done once before, by Minolta, but it
doesn't seem like something I couldn't do myself.)

And where I can buy a spare eyepiece?

Hi Ivan,

Try "goop" or "liquid nails/clear" - I've NEVER found anything that
works flawlessly as an adhesive around a camera, everything melts and
comes unstuck eventually. I want to restick the right hand pad on all
my cameras - anyone have a perfect adhesive? My problem with
polyurathane is that some stuff NEVER dried, and some stuff gets
brittle - I want inbetween: soft but not sticky when finally dry.

Try 3M:
