    I have a Rapid LED kit that I have and am planning on building over the weekend. I was laying out everything and was on Rapids website and it states, "Please note these lenses will require adhesive (plastic adhesive) to stay on the LED". What do I need to attach the lenses to the stars. And how should I go about doing this.

    I used this glue from HD.

    You could use the left over thermal adhesive, but this worked GREAT for me. Once its on, it really stays!

    Yup; Shin's picture is the preferred recommendation. Do NOT use superglue for this.
