How do you fit the rings that you can buy to your clocks? I have just broke the clear plastic on my clocks getting them off  :sick: :sad:

The clear plastic was glued on so really hard to get off without breaking. Any ideas?  :kiss:

Yep, got that bit. There are two screws and some clips. That splits the clocks in half, but one half of the clocks still has the clear plastic fascia on it. Thats the bit I need to remove.

I got the plastic ones. Theres a thought. I see you can squeeze them through, but how do you go about applying the glue?

yeah through from the back then just a tiny bit of superglue in about five areas that will touch when the rings are located then stand there holding the front till it dries lol

I did the above last night, but my superglue came out a bit fast so I ended up with five pools of it  :laugh:. It took some of the paint off the black paint off too so now I have to find a way of covering the exposed white areas left behind. Any tips??
