Good plan Rick.  I have lost mine several times and it costs a great
deal of time and goodwill (from the loved ones) to have to retrace
your steps along a rocky path etc...  However, if you fix them too
well to the camera, they can break quite easily, so your plan is a
good compromise.

I've stopped my semi-annual replacement of lost 'cups.

Take a 6" to 8" length of mono fishing line (your
choice of color), make a loop end with an 'approved'
fishing knot (no joke, ask a fisherman if you don't know how)around
the eyecup, tighten it and attach a
small snap swivel (yes, another fishing thing)to the
other end of the line. Hook the snap to the split ring of your
camera strap. No fuss, NO LOSS!
