I like to use crazy glue, available at most grocery stores and wall mart. A little goes a long way and as long as the previous glue residue is cleaned up, it shouldn't be a problem coming off, the glue is very durable. I would let it dry for 24 hours and just be careful when you click it. also you could pop the dial out and clean it to make it turn easier. some times those older clix collect dust and dirt and become too much pressure for the glue to handle when you click it. Hope it helps, good luck.

Two-part epoxy, available in any decent hardware store. Be sure to check the expiration date, if it has one.

There is a difference in what your intentions are with the Sentinel. If he's just for display, superglue gel should do fine. If you plan on playing him (thus clicking that huge dial) then Greenstuff with an application of glue after the Greenstuff dries should work. The problem with the sentinel is it's small foot-pattern as it's "in stride" makes it hard to adhere to th dial.

If you're in a big rush and don't mind a little paint you can always put some super glue on put the sentinel in place and throw some baking soda on the sides (where some exposed superglue is. It should form a bond you won't be getting off anytime soon.

Just toss it on, and then blow it off rather quick (don't want a huge pile or anything). It should bond instantly.. Then a little work with a dremel or something and you can shave away the excess stuff.

I ended up drilling a hole right in the middle of the dial (it's tricky, the pin goes right through the bottom dial piece) and pinning his other foot (the one that is raised a little). He has held fast for about 5 years now with occasional playing.
