Cool A/A repairs

If the slider is still attached to the badge, carefully put some glue (epoxy resin) around the slider and await for the glue to set.

Hopefully this will reinforce the slider without damaging the badge.

Slider is still attached, epoxy resin it is, cheers Rob.
I didn't want to use anything that would damage the badge.
Cheers

I've used a good quality super glue in the past, building up the repair in several layers, did the job!

Cheers Tony,
I'll think I'll go with the apoxy resin, I've looked it up and seems like the best stuff.
I'll grab some tomorrow and see how it goes.
Cheers anyway

Probably a good way of a repair as well, several layers are needed and they do not show as much as epoxy resin.

Not sure of the durability.

Durability is what I need Rob, I think the apoxy resin would be more durable, we'll see later today
