Normally I would agree with this, however as it seems that just a soak
in acetone will completely separate the elements then I can't see any
harm in attempting to re glue them and if I fail then could I not just
separate them again and then send them off if I am unsuccessful,
assuming acetone doesn't harm the element
most of the glues seem easy to work with, I found this place
http://www.emsdiasum.com/Summers/optical/cements/
but will probably go with the clear glue in a red tube john suggested
(from microtools europe) now I just need to find some v blocks and
follow the procedure given here
http://www.emsdiasum.com/Summers/optical/cements/manual/manual.html
I haven't done anything yet and hence posting here for opinions before
I do, so I am not being completely reckless.
