That old repair guy at the camera show taught me a lens trick
I was at a camera swap meet in Portland last spring and an older gentleman showed me how to reglue a loose lens element using just a dab of nail polish. He said he learned it from a retired Kodak tech back in the 70s and it saved me from tossing a perfectly good 50mm lens. Has anyone else tried something like nail polish for small repairs or is that too risky in the long run?

Yeah totally, I've had good luck with that trick too - @daniel_martin you're spot on about it holding up.

Used nail polish once to fix a loose screw on my old Pentax body and it held for years.
