Has Anyone Had Any Success Reattaching Clutch Back Stud Posts?

Does anyone know a good method to reattach or glue clutch back stud posts that have broken off of insignias? I have several where they have broken off cleanly, but I don't know what kind of adhesive to use that would be strong enough or won't look sloppy. I'm not sure that a tiny drop of super glue would be strong enough, and I also don't want to use anything that would show around the rim of the stud post. What about a tiny drop of solder? Also, does anyone know how they are attached when they are made (like on DUI's, officer's branch insignia, wings pins, etc)? Thanks!

Sorry, can't help you out.

 

I wondered how they did that too. I have used a stud gun welder on steel before and wondered if they had some low heat type machine for that for the different metals.

Get a jeweler. It wouldn't cost that much and then you don't have to worry about it

but that depends on what it is, some things they can fix others would likely damage the piece making the problem worse
