BTW - Good luck on your project Dave! I'm only read one story of someone attempting such a repair. He had skills, and he failed. But...I wonder...
In the story this person glued the lens elements inside,then went outside to let the sun be the UV source.
Well, since I never did it, I won't suggest how I would do it, but I will mention that they sell lights specifically to cure this kind of glue. So if one did the work in a blacked out environment it would not be necessary to more the unit to set it.
Specifically, my niece does make-up artist work, and such a light is used to cure things like synthetic finger nails.
Long story short, I wanted the guy to succeed! It would be a magnificent achievement! I hope you can do it!
