What would you pay for a damaged badge
Just having a nose about and found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3507093208...893%26_rdc%3D1
What would you pay for it,a broken slider or missing lug is one thing but a missing scroll is another completely? I did see a red rose Loyals go a few weeks ago ,that had a broken slider that had had a metal one superglued onto it.Id give it a few weeks maximum or when an attempt is made to put it on a display board.

On this note! we all have Anodised badges with broken sliders/lugs apart from sewing onto a cloth has any way of fixing them been mentioned in the past? would Double Bond work? have a few of these and have toyed with the idea of Arildite actually! not gotten round to it yet though, cheers billy

Superglue is about the only way, mate. They can't be soldered or brazed, araldite makes a nasty mess and cracks up eventually.

No Billy,over the years i along with many others have found that nothing works.Ive was given some stuff that does work and you get a brilliant strong finish.
It works on lugs and sliders equally as well,dont think id tackle a missing scroll though. Saying that i dont know where you get the scroll apart from another cap badge.I bet the scrolls for the SLI collars are smaller.

I had two aa badges that I displayed with a drawing pin (thumbtack) fixed on with supper glue, they stayed on the board on the wall for 3 years. The the pin was held by a plastic clip, you could get on some Canadian and US collar badges.
Main topic - If you have not got the missing part whats the point. Marc

Don't know about replacing a scroll onto a badge, but for repairs to AA lugs, sliders and loops, try this stuff...
I've used Threadseal on a couple of AA badges, with success and both have been on my wall for a few years, without falling down. Used carefully it can provide a very neat repair.

To answer the original question, for a nickel king's crown from a Maltese cross helmet or shoulder belt plate quite a lot.

Atmos Thread Seal
Pardon me asking, but this stuff according to what I read is non-setting, how does it work for repairing A/A badges if it does not set?

Pls see attached image of RSF badge - lower loop has been re-attached, using Thread-seal. Strange claim. Last edited by William; 11-02-13 at 11:16 AM. Reason: Added image.

One of the strongest fixers I know of is spray can carpet glue. Works every time when I put a damaged badge onto a felt Fablon backing.
