Subject: Re: [Leica] lens caps - keeping them

There is little reason to be worried about the strength of glue when gluing
two plastic parts together.  Just use a good quality superglue, or double
compound glue and follow the instructions, and the strongest part of the
resulting object will be the glue joint.  The rest of the plastic is more
likely to break first.

Besides, how much stress is that glue joint going to be subject to?  What
do you people do with your lenses? ;)

lens...)
