I the standard plastic rivets do the job, but are a bit stiff which puts wear on the dial, so enter earth magnets and Gorilla glue, my little friends and a few minutes and you'll have dial that is smooth and stays put, but that you probably now won't want to get to near to your mobile phone. Well there is one down side. You'll want to order 5/16" x 1/16" earth magnets and I bought these from www.magnet4us.com
It's a quick job, pop the plastic rivet out with a pen. Glue the inside of the dial, the card soaks it up and be generous as these earth magnets are slippery little suckers.
I then lay the dial surface down on something flat like a cutting board and push it onto the magnet. I then push the magnet against the cutting board to ensure it's flush with the dial surface.
Repeat for the other half of the dial and then leave to fully dry. I have had to redo a couple as the magnets have such a slippery surface and the glue doesn't always get a go anchor to it. If you have any other suggestion please leave a comment.
Thanks and hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
