Yep I would keep the superglue away from your expensive lens.:tinfoil:
I have used the two part arctic alumina thermal adheasive sucessfully in the past as I have seen this on a couple of custom direct press heads and almost always on custom focus adapters. On the custom fucus adapters you actually want them that way so you can have a nice flush look with either the single element lenses or the three element lenses. I will just put a small amount in the threads of the focus adapter and just screw the lens in about a turn and a half if I am trying to get the most threading left exposed that I can. That should hopefully leave enough threading for the lens to get close enough to the diode.:beer:
I used to be able to get them for $4.50 each but I can't seem to find that seller. Here is a cheap link on amazon..
