I’m afraid that super glue will look like... well, super glue. Just want something to look clean.

I have some tape holding them in place. Was worried about how warm they could get.

Now when it gets really warm I just remove it and blow some air on it. Was thinking about putting some adhesive velcro but it gets really bulky.

I used a very small amount of Loctite 401 at the two hinges and at the lower frame.

I always use JB Weld Clearweld for my projects. It bonds much better than superglue.

You can find epoxy that cures super clear

I used a medium thickness CA super glue, just a couple 2 mm sized dots and that was plenty to get it bonded. I did it on a clear blue VMU and it didn't show up as looking glued.
