John,

I hadn't read your foam instructions in a really long time, what I wrote was
from memory and probably it was this line: " If you use the wrong type of
glue or even too much of the correct glue, the back of the camera may become
permanently glued shut." that made me think of the back glued shut...I guess
I remembered it wrong and thought you said to let it dry. Sorry.

Chris
