I'm not really sure , But seems like a hot glue gun would leave to much of a mess

From what I've read, you have to be really careful with a hot glue gun and very sparse with the glue.

My suggestion would be to try modeling glue. It should adhere firmly to the plastic and be easier to control than a hot glue gun.

TFW has wonderful how-to threads in the Radicons forums. Some of those guys also post here, so they may be able to offer some advice.
