Roberto,
I have, in the past, taken a small amount of super glue, and placed between the rims...it has worked just fine...
Hope it helps
All the best

Roberto,
Here are a few ideas. I have seen A product called Mircroscale Kristal Klear put in the hollows of the rime and it forms the glass. Another method I have used is to get a leather punch. Find one that has multi hole punches. Then taking a piece of very thin clear asitate or paper thin clear plastic punch out the size clear disk you need and glue it in. I hope one of these methods will woork for you. Brock

Following up on Brock's advice - use Elmer's or some other white glue that dries clear to glue the acetate. Thin the glue with water first.
For the lenses, I use developed photo negative film. The lightest brown film is about right.
The smallest two punches of the typical leather punch work well for 90 - 120mm. For 75mm, I use the metal closure end of an old paint brush as my punch. Cut off or pull out all the hair. Cut the brush handle down except for about 1/2th inch above the metal end.
All the best,
Dan
