What type of glue is used on the battery wings?

[Mister Tawny]

The things that are attached to the back (I call them wings) have come undone on my P2. I see there was sticky stuff holding it on, but it has let go. What should I use now to fix it?

The official name is "bow tie" contact and the official recommendation is cyan acrylat glue to it. But you may as well use two component epoxy.

Don't use epoxy - most will come off. Epoxy is great but there is too much flexing of the bow-tie. Pulsar engineers and hundreds of repairs would agree on this.....they had epoxy, they knew it would suck.

Suggestions on re-attachment. Every case back has two small dimples/markes that are supposed to line up with the two holes in the bow-tie. Clean back and bow-tie very well. Then put a small black dot in each of the dimples with a fine tip marker. One small drop of gel-type SUper GLue/ cyanoacrylate, carefully place the bow tie over the dots, position and hold down with a wooden toothpick, not your fingers. With good lighting you can see you black dots through the holes in the bow-tie.

Basically I have just restated pg 10 of the Pulsar Jeweler's Technical Manual available http://retroleds.com/pulsar-jewelers-technical-manual/ as well as other places.
