I use the rubber cement trick. As long as you are careful, you just put
on a bit under the rubber ring and let it sit in place on the lens until
it dries. If you place
it on all of the rubber ring, it will stay anchored for a long time. If
you ever need to remove it, gently peel off the rubber ring and rub away
the rubber cement. Works great and it is removable.
