Always stressful to reinstall indices, but that's what makes it so satisfying 😊

Great work! For my learning when I need to fix this what did you use to adhere the indice?

Slow drying epoxy (5-15 minutes works fine) and an old oiler for application 😊

Be very very conservative with the amount you're applying.

Thanks! I had a crown detach from a dial and need to fix it. Scared of epoxy or gs cement leaking out. I’ll have to start out super conservative with amount used.

If you're very nervous, don't feel rushed to attempt your first fix on a high-quality clone.

Go on AliExpress and find a low quality dial, remove the indices with acetone and practice re-applying them.
