Hi all, wonder if you can offer some advice.

I bought the weather tokens and they look great.

However, the fit isn't 100% on all pieces- 3 of them are really snug fits and the bases don't come off when you pick them up, but one is too large to fit in the base, and another is too loose.

I therefore have two questions:

(i) In order to keep the loose one in place I want to glue it in place, but what sort of glue (if any) will keep the clear bit clear (as opposed to going frosty)?

(ii) Any advice on how to file a fraction of a millimetre (a very small fraction of an inch for our metrically-challenged brethren) off this type of plastic and get a clean finish?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks!

I used PVA Glue on mine. It dries clear and I haven't had any problems just be careful not to put too much on.

The model car guys have a glue called Crystal Clear that is made for windshields that may do the trick. It does dry very clear.
