I would expect this should work. But it might be best to soak it in
glycerine for a few days, even perhaps heating it gently. But glue
won't stick to it... however the friction (as it tries to unbend)
should hold it in place without glue...

But I'm pleased with it. Now... how do i go about finding a 350mm
specimen??
