Reattach Dutch Unit Plate

The adhesive shown in your photo may be clear, so it might be epoxy.

There are a number of grades of epoxy available, and adhesive built up on the plate may be an issue if not removed before you try and adhere it again.

Unfortunately, beyond using it to repair and stabilize cracked bakelite grips, I don't have experience with reattaching a plate like that.

Especially considering Gerben's thoughts, it might be best to just store them together, but not try and reattach the plate.
