aluminum bezel adhesive

What adhesive should be used to attach aluminum bezel rings. Mine did not come with it. I would like to be able to remove if necessary without damage so need appropriate adhesive.

Just pick up some double sided tape and cut small pieces--two per bezel. This will hold fine and allow you to remove easily. Double sided tape is what comes with them.

I used a poster adhesive (blue stuff) from a hardware store. I preferred this to double sided tape.

I used 3M strip caulk, 3 small "pea-sized" balls per ring. Stays on great but comes off easy when you want to clean the lenses.

Thanks I ordered them from ebay and well not exactly what I expected. They do not go over entire gauge ring. Instead they fit, perfectly, inside the gauges. Still gives very nice look of aluminum but must adhere from outside edge of ring to gauges. still for $74 shipped from Germany not too bad. Thanks for the replies. I was reading that appropriate adhesive comes with rings which fit over entire gauges. I was wondering what that was.
