Default Re: Any ideas how to mend glass tuner scale?

If I am remembering the little that I learnt relating to microscopy, the cover-glass could be "glued" to the slide using a substance called "Canada Balsam". This stuff had the same refractive index as glass and was also used to "glue" lens components together. It seems to be available from scientific suppliers and on the auction site.
I have never used it to fix broken glass, but I would be interested to know if it works. It can't be worse than super-glue, surely?
Colin.
