Fellow Shadow Watchers Further to comments from John Carmichael and Jim Tallman I too always use silicone for just the reasons they have stressed. A useful extra tip is to drill three holes in a triangle near the extremities of the dial with brass woodscrews inserted into plugs in the holes. The screws can then be adjusted to level the dial plate before any silicone adhesive is applied while also setting the thickness of the adhesive layer. Surround the area with masking tape to catch any unwanted spread, apply the silicone in a liberal spiral and then press down onto the screw heads.
I like the idea of BLACK silicone...never thought of that! Tony Moss
