Pro-Weld contains an >MEK base plus several other nasty solvents (methyl chloride, e.g.) as >activators. Apply sparingly and use with adequate ventilation. I found MEK/acetone works great on parabolic microphone dishes like you see on the sidelines of televised football games. Pretty sure those are acrylic. But once you try and glue something once and it doesn't work, that's usually it. Won't mate second time. Besides the piece that goes back to the power switch there is also a tab that broke off from the switch assembly. I think I'll try a little glue test experiment as I can probably do without the tab. I've seen the pro-weld at some store around me so I'll go out and pick up some and try that, too. Mike -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
