Fixing a Case

[knifewing]

Hi,

I hope this is the right place for this question...

I have a vintage-ish 3.25" Case folder with clip blade and scissors and stag handles that I EDC regularly. Yesterday, as I was taking it out of my pocket the little metal Case badge fell out. Luckily, I noticed it and it didn't get lost in the carpet. I'm wondering what the best glue would be to make a repair, something that will hold on both the stag and the metal. Should I just use Super Glue or Gorilla Glue? Or there something better or more specific to this purpose? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Super Glue, the gel kind.

Though you have already been given the answer to the question.

Super Glue, the gel kind.

Ditto that^^. It works, and takes about 5 minutes to get it done.

One or two 'drops' of the gel in the milled recess of the cover, and drop the shield back in (make sure it's not upside down ). The 'gel' type of superglue isn't as prone to quickly soaking into porous materials (like your stag), and it doesn't run or drip, so it's easy to work with.

Scrape any old glue off. I'd sand the glue surfaces best I could and then glue.
