I have a D-03r with an active ibeam pickup.  (Actually it's not mine, it's on loan to me while I think about buying it).  While replacing strings I bumped the volume control near the sound hole (I swear I barely touched it!) and it fell off.  There seems to be just a small dot of some kind of tacky material on it - I can stick it back on, but it falls off again easily.  What should I use to stick it back in place more solidly?

Thanks,

Hi and welcome.
If it was me, I would try a very small dot of 5-minute epoxy.  I would also check with the owner if this would be OK unless you have already decided to buy it anyways.

3M double-sided tape usually does the trick. It adheres well but its not totally permanent

D'oh.
I defer to the master.  The double sided tape sounds like a much better solution.
