We recently had a fitted bedroom bits and pieces done and we specified
that the pelmet light switch was to be at the left hand side of the
wardrobes. When we went to look, they had fitted it at the right hand
end. You have to walk all the way up my side of the bed and lean over my
bedside cabinet to switch it on. They have fitted an in-line switch
behind a vertical, so that you have to feel behind the vertical.

Since they had given me a new switch, I noticed that it had no
attachment screws being an in line one. I decided to re run the wires to
the other end of the robes and conect to that switch.

When I tried to prize the switch off, I thought it would have been easy,
but it took a small part of the laminate face off.

After all that...

What sort of glue would have they used, between electrical plastic and a
molded on skin?

I've recently moved to using polyurethane glue from a gun for all my
gluing activities. Over and above wood constructions, it will also
stick plastic and metal to wood and metal to metal I've found. It's
main attraction is that if a one of then surfaces is dampened, it will
set to a hold in 5 minutes.

If I were to want to do that (and initially it seems more sensible to
screw it in place) I think I would use this:

Geocel Joiners Mate Mitre Bond
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/63935/Sealants-Adhesives/Adhesives/Wood-Glues/Mitre-Bonding/Geocel-Joiners-Mate-Mitre-Bond-50g

Nothing special about that brand - I currently use what I bought from
Isaac Lord - similar but cheaper. It is just a version of superglue.

The usual irony on this, Dave - I'm sure I got it from Screwfix as
there is no one else that I 'm likely to have got it from around
Edinburgh.

It's Ever Build's Lumber Jack 5 Minute Polyurethane in a 310ml
gunnable tube. But SF are now stocking Evostick's equivalent at a
price higher than the on line B 'n Q price. Toolnet have the Lumber
Jack one at well under half the price (£4) of the others (£8).

No doubt the Evostick one is just as good but one does have to ask the
question of why there is a greater than 2:1 price difference, and the
Lumber Jack has worked fine for me.
