Attaching lens to stars

[hlem]

What do you use to attach the lens to your LED stars? where to get it? local stores? online stores?

I use gel super glue...aka Cyanoacrylate. Couple things....you have to apply with a toothpick just a couple dots on the lens....Do not apply directly from the bottle. If you apply too much and if it kicks quickly you can fog your lens. But its what I use and it works fine if you're careful.

Two much will fog the lens...

Loctite No Mess Adhesive works great with no fumes. Its water soluble and non conductive. On my personal fixture I also used Plumbers Goop after I ran out of the Loctite and that worked well. The Optics were Carclo and the mounts were away from the LED on the stars edge.

If you use LEDSeal most adhesives will not stick well to it. You might have to scrape some off or attach the optic first.

Bill, would you happen to know a local store that might have it?
