You used SUPER GLUE !
Hope all is well for you but that stuff can give off some Nasty fumes that can get into places you don't want. We use it at work to glue finger/thumb grips into bowling balls . Ours is a special formulation that's supposed not to damage the plastic material the balls are made from , and it can still have an effect. But it's easy to tell when someone has used standard shop bought stuff. It eats into the plastic and cracks radiate from the holes .


+1 on the warning against using super glue. My friend who is a camera repair technician says that he routinely works on cameras that have had super glue used on them and the outgassing/fumes from the glue can fog up things that didn't actually come in contact with the glue itself.

I tried it myself only because I had to shoot and couldn't wait.
It worked for a short while (super glue) and then it fell off. Glued it on again, and again it shortly fell out.
Finally when done shooting I sent it in and Canon did a great job. They also replaced my dirty and scratched focusing screen for free because I asked them to ;-)
