Hey guys,

Last weekend and this weekend has been a blast with my new luggage I got for the 11x14 Wisner Tech Field. Realized today, however, that I've been mildly damaging my equipment (camera and filmholders) by carrying it in this manner. So while I figure out how to adjust the way I pack, my LF shooting will be on hiatus.... =( Probably about time I remembered how to shoot medium format anyway...

One of the things I "broke" was one of the pins that keeps the camera closed. It fell out. Astonishingly, I still have it. Any ideas on how I should re-attach it? I'm thinking of dunking it in a dollup of crazy glue and shoving it back in. I'm guessing it was glued in there in the first place. Not wanting to screw things up, I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone has other suggestions on glue...this'll be binding metal (the pin) to wood (the hole).

Thanks!

Superglue would work just fine. Just remember to be sparing, since you won't get it off the wood finish if you goop it up.
