If you call Leica USA's parts department and ask veeerrrrry nicely,  
they may just send you a few for free.  If you ask for too many they  
get suspicious.  If you rant about incompetency in selecting glue,  
you'll probably be put on a waiting list!  ;-)

I used Elmer's white glue, but found that I had to make more calls to  
New Jersey.  Seems strong, but they eventually fall off.

Maybe the $10AUS per dot is a hint at long range planning -- If too  
few M's and R's can be sold, they can keep going for years on Red Dots.
