Apple originally used a 2-part acrylic adhesive to fasten the plastic parts to the titanium, for which you can get a reasonable replacement from auto parts stores. The stuff I've found has been labeled for plastic repair. It comes as two tubes of liquidy stuff, similar to some epoxies, but if it says 'epoxy' then it's not what you want. The fumes are very nasty, so it's best used in a well ventilated space. I'd avoid epoxies - I've not had reliable results with any (tried many types!), though others apparently have. I have more info on my page about repairing TiBook displays, scroll down to the 'Glue' section: <http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/tibook_display.html> Alternately, when I didn't want to mess with the real-nasty-deal, I've had reasonable success with cyanoacrylate (eg: SuperGlue.) Just apply sparingly, to be avoid squeezeout and the resultant mess and sticking-of-the-fingers-to-the-TiBook. :-P dan k -- ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
